What is the type of bleeding to be most concerned about?
Arterial.
How can you tell that bleeding is arterial or venous?
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.
What type of bleeding is most dangerous?
Arterial. It will drain you out quick.
What type of bleeding is the most severe?
Two types of bleeding are the most life-threatening:internal vs. superficialarterial vs. venousThe most severe type of bleeding is arterial. Internal bleeding may be from a "small bleed" so while internal bleeding is serious, it is NOT the most severe type. For example, bleeding ulcer is internal bleeding and while it can be serious and can become life-threatening, it may not necessarily be severe.Traumatic internal bleeding is usually severe, serious, and life-threatening, but bleeds may start small and progress without emergency surgery; yet, there is usually enough time to get a trauma victim from the ER to the OR.
What type of bleeding to be most concerned about is?
Arterial BleedingThis is the least common and most dangerous type of bleeding. It involves bright red blood that comes out in large volume, and in spurts that correspond with each beat of your heart.
In which type of external bleeding will clot?
arterial bleeding is the most serious type of external bleeding. this type of bleeding can lead to a large amount of blood loss in a short period of time because the blood flows at a faster rate and is less likely to clot.
What is the difference between the blood in most veins and in most arteries?
The primary differences between venous blood and arterial blood are that arterial blood is oxygenated, under great pressure, and is moving from the heart, and that venous blood is deoxygenated, under low pressure, and is moving towards the heart.
Type of bleeding produces the fastest blood loss and is the most difficult to control?
Arterial
What is the most serious form of bleeding?

What happens if you pierce the veins in our tongue?
Worst case scenario you bleed out and die. Venous bleeds are generally less-serious than arterial bleeds so you would most likely have time to get to a hospital. If you go to a reputable piercer, you shouldn't worry about that. Tongue piercings are common so they have a lot of experience.
What it Avitene used for?
Avitene is a collagen hemostat (blood coagulant), most commonly used to stop or slow arterial bleeding during surgery.
What are the differences between arterial and venous thrombosis?
Arterial thrombosis is associated with an atherosclerotic plaque being ruptured. It is hence associated with high pressure arteries. The thrombus is made of many platelets and contains little fibrin. It can lead to stroke or acute myocardial infarction in the most severe cases. Venous thrombosis is caused by vessel injury or static blood flow in a low-pressure venous system. The thrombus is made of fibrin and red blood cells with very little platelets. It can detach to form an embolus and may cause pulmonary embolism.
