If bleeding is venous, the blood will flow evenly from the wound.
If bleeding is arterial, the blood will spurt unevenly due to higher blood pressure in the vessel. Arterial blood is also very bright red in color, as venous blood is a darker red.

∙ 11y agoFirst off most of your arteries, the vessels that carry oxygen rich blood to the body, are fairly deep under the skin which makes it more difficult to damage one. The Veins are the vessels that carry blood back to the heart, and are nearer to the surface. That being said if a vein is damaged, it would most likely be from a shallow cut or abrasion and would typically ooze, ore for more serious cuts it can run out pretty fast. If a artery gets severed it will have to be a very deep cut, and will bleed very fast, possibly shooting blood out.

∙ 13y agoThere are a couple of ways:
1. Arterial blood is brighter red than venous blood. This is because of hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying molecules in blood cells) binds with oxygen and appears bright red. In the absence of oxygen, such as in veins, hemoglobin appears darker.
2. Blood leaving a vein tends to ooze out because there is little pressure in veins. Venous walls are soft while arterial walls are hard on order to maintain a certain blood pressure. Blood leaving an artery, in contrast, tends to spray because it's under high pressure.

Menstural bleeding is predominantly arterial or venous?
Menstrual bleeding is predominantly venous.
What are the three types of bleeding?
1. Venous bleeding (bleeding from the veins). 2. Arterial bleeding (bleeding from the arteries). 3. Capillary bleeding.
Is it true or false that arterial bleeding is more seriouse than venous bleeding?
yes
Why arterial bleeding is difficult to control?
Because being closer to the beating of the heart, it has more pressure behind it. Arterial blood is "outboud". Venous blood is "inbound".ANS2:Arterial bleeding is difficult to control because the pulsing pressure, delivered directly from the heart, makes clot formation less effective for staunching the flow than it would be for capillary or venous bleeding.
What kind of wound spurts bright red blood?
This would be arterial bleeding - bright red pertains to oxygen-rich blood and the squirting is because of the pressure from the heart. Venous blood will appear dark, and oxygenated blood from the arteries will appear bright red in color.
What type of bleeding is easiest to control?
Venous blood flow is easiest to control. Arterial blood flow is hardest to control because it is under pressure from the heart.
What exchange blood between arterial and venous systems?
The arterial and venous systems are connected in the body tissues by capillaries, and also in the heart.
What exchanges blood between the arterial and venous systems?
The arterial and venous systems are connected in the body tissues by capillaries, and also in the heart.
Why arterial blood is more alkaline than venous blood?
pulmonary arterial blood as it has moce CO2 than venous
What is angioectasias?
Angioectasia is a venous lesion that requires cauterization; a Dieulafoy's lesion and arteriovenous malformation may cause arterial bleeding, which requires clipping or laparotomy.
Do both arterial and venous vessels have valves?
No. Only venous vessles contain valves.
Do the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs contain arterial or venous blood?
arterial
