Veins.
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).

The word hemostatic means that blood has stopped. Usually it is used when blood is stopped from going to a damaged blood vessel.
With the exception of the vessels going to and from the lungs, veins carry blood to the heart from the body.
Smooth muscle is mostly in the afferent branch going from the arteries to the arterioles. The body controls where blood will flow by controlling the vessel diameter. An increase in sympathetic tone constricts smooth muscle, decreases blood vessel diameter, and limits blood flow.
It is called a cerebral artery occlusion. Symptoms may include weakness, numbness/tingling, difficulty speaking or walking, and many others, depending on the area the artery supplies blood to. If the symptoms last only a short amount of time (a few minutes up to 24 hours) and there is no residual symptoms, it is called a Transient ischemic attack (TIA). If the symptoms are longer lasting and there are residual symptoms, it is called a stroke.
Blood leaves the heart through two vessels: going to the lungs, it leaves through the pulmonary artery, and going to the rest of the body, it leaves through the aorta.
