Why is blood drawn from veins rather than arteries?
doctors typically draw blood from veins because veins are more superficial (ie close to the surface of the skin) and therefore more easily accessible. additionally, arteries are under high pressure and there is a risk of major bleeding. lastly, you have less collateral circulation with arteries than veins. what that means is this (let's use your arm as an example): there are many different veins in your forearm that lets blood get from your hand back to your heart, so damaging any one of these veins isn't a big deal. however, there are only two arteries in your forearm that supplies blood to your hand (the radial and ulnar arteries). Arterial blood is sampled from the radial artery because it's bigger and more easily accessible. However, damaging this artery can be catastrophic if the ulnar artery is not well developed, because then your hand is not getting enough blood, and it can become gangrenous and die (this is a vascular emergency). That is why doctors will do an Allen's test (look it up on google... you can even try it on yourself) before doing an arterial stick to make sure you have good blood flow through your ulnar artery that can sustain your hand in case the radial artery is destroyed with the arterial stick. so for these reasons, doctors don't do an arterial blood draw unless they really need one, and the one test that comes to mind where you absolutely need arterial blood is the arterial blood gas test. this test is used when doctors need to know the oxygen saturation and pH of the arterial blood, typically in patients with respiratory failure and sometimes in type 1 diabetics with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Is elevated blood pressure called atherosclerosis?
Hypertention creates a tough environment that may cause a mechanical trauma to the intima layer of the blood vessel wall; upon such effect may leave a tear of intima and therefore predispose to atheroma.
Why do they have to keep giving blood for renal artery?
this is because the decrease in blood flow to the kidney will trigger the RENIN ANGIOTENSIN mechanism, which stimulates the Increase of Arterial Blood Pressure to get the kidney more blood, also the kidney one tof the sensetive organs to ischemia

An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.

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.
