A: What he said up there. They will probably also stitch you if it's an open wound, and put some antiseptic or whatever they use there. =) Good luck! Also if it's a closed wound, maybe there will be some bruising but other than that, I heard your body has a natural ability to heal itself, as long as it's not too bad of an injury.

If you have cut an artery, it's naturally going to be an open wound and more likely than not blood will be spurting out. No matter what, you need to seek immediate medical attention. This type of injury can cause serious blood loss very rapidly. Do not try to treat this at home, no matter how much you don't like doctors or hospitals. If not given the proper care, an injury like this could result in death.

∙ 15y agoIn the case of veins direct pressure should limit the bleeding, arteries will require a tourniquet in both cases a visit to the hospital for stitches is required. === === Most arterial bleeding can be stopped by direct pressure, if you can get to the bleed site. Tourniquets should only be used as a last resort, and with the understanding that this may require sacrificing the limb distal to the tourniquet.

∙ 10y agoA vein has low pressure so the blood will have a slow drip. An artery has a much higher pressure so the blood will be squirting out (sometimes like a fountain).
Also arterial blood will also be brighter red whereas venous blood will be darker in color.

Why bleeding from artery?
Your arteries circulate the blood from your heart around your entire body. As large amounts of blood may be carried by your arteries they are susceptible to trauma and punctures that can make them release large amounts of blood. A puncture in any arteries is a very serious condition and should be immediately mediated.

What is the path of blood from the left ventricle to the brain?
Blood vessels that supply the brain are the two carotid arteries and the two vertebral arteries.- From the left ventricle, blood flows into the aorta and the common carotid arteries supply the frontal portion of the brain through the inner carotid arteries, which lead to blood vessels such as the three pairs of cerebral arteries (anterior, middle, posterior).- From the left ventricle, blood flows from the arch of the aorta into the paired subclavian arteries, and then to the vertebral arteries, which supply the rear and lower parts of the brain through the basilar artery (which ends at the posterior cerebral arteries).* Within the brain, cross-connections between these arteries (called the Circle of Willis) provide some redundancy should any of the arteries become severed or blocked.
