If a blood vessel ruptures, it has developed a leak. In an artery (going away from the heart) the blood will leak much faster than in a vein (going back to the heart).

If you rupture a blood vessel can you die?
Yes. It depends on the blood vessel and where it is, but yes a rupture to a blood vessel can kill you. A blood vessel is more likely to "pop" or rupture if it has an aneurysm, which is a local weakness where the blood vessel has stretched from the pressure of the blood. This is more likely to result in death if it is in a large blood vessel or in a critical location, such as the aorta or a vessel in the brain.
Is it normal for blood vessels to rupture?
When a blood vessel bursts, the wall of the vessel has an abnormal opening. This opening allows blood to escape the circulation, and may cause a bruise or hematoma.
A what usually invalves a rupture or a blockage of a blood vessel in the brain?
A stroke can be caused by bleeding on the brain.
What is a rupture of a vessel?
If a blood vessel ruptures, it has developed a leak. In an artery (going away from the heart) the blood will leak much faster than in a vein (going back to the heart).
A stroke is a rupture of a blood vessel in the?
brain, leading to a sudden interruption of blood supply resulting in brain cell damage. This disruption can cause neurological deficits like paralysis or speech difficulties. Immediate medical attention is crucial to minimize long-term effects and prevent complications.
Which term describes what happens when a blood vessel in th ebrain leaks or rupture?
cerebrovascular accident (CVA)
What are two conditions that can cause a stroke?
blockage of vessel, or rupture of vessel.
What causes blood vessels to rupture?
Blood vessels can be ruptured by extensive pressure to certain points of the body. Whether it be internal or external, certain force applied to your body builds an accumulated amount of blood calls to form together thus creating the vessel which carries the blood cells to rupture to relieve pressure. Think volcano or filling a water balloon until it has reached its capacity. External pressure caused by blunt force, ex: a hard hit to the body causes a blood vessel to rupture as you would expect a hole to occur in wall from a hard hit. Blood vessels are delicate and depending on person to person any force pressure etc applied will indeed burst, tear or rupture.
What is the connection between blood pressure and edema?
Edema, or Oedema, can be caused by Blood Plasma seeping from Blood vessels into adjoining tissue, as a result of a weak point in a Blood vessel. The primary risk is that this seepage point, is the most likely point of a rupture, or Aneurysm.
Where did the stroke originate?
The origin of a stroke typically refers to the location in the brain where the disruption of blood flow occurs, leading to cell damage. There are two main types of strokes: ischemic strokes, which are caused by a blockage in a blood vessel, often due to a blood clot, and hemorrhagic strokes, which result from the rupture of a blood vessel. The specific area of the brain affected depends on which blood vessel is compromised. Identifying the origin is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment and intervention.
What causes blood blisters?
A blood blister is a type of blister that forms when subdermal tissues and blood vessels are damaged without piercing the skin. (Wikipedia) For the source and more detailed information concerning your request, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below this answer box.
What is the medical term meaning distended blood vessel?
A distended blood vessel often causes a sac to form which is filled with blood. It is called an aneurysm if it occurs in an artery. Caused by distension or weakening of the vessel wall, it is a sign of disease of the vessels and may rupture. Veins also become distended such as in varicose veins where the vein is commonly swollen, twisted and lengthened as a result of poor circulation. It results in a lowered efficiency in returning blood to the heart.
