What is a severed artery?
Blood squirt (blood spurt, blood spray, blood gush, or blood jet) is the effect when an artery, a blood vessel in the human body (or other organism's body), is cut. Blood pressure causes the blood to bleed out at a rapid, intermittent rate, in a spray, squirt, gush or jet, coinciding with the beating of the heart, rather than the slower, but steady flow of venous bleeding. Also known as arterial bleeding, arterial spurting, or arterial gushing, the amount of blood loss can be copious, occur very rapidly,[1] and can lead to death.
Why is blood leaving the heart bright red?
The blood turns red once it has come into contact with oxygen. This is why your veins appear blue, purple, etc, but when you cut yourself the blood is red. Not sure about details, but oxygen changed the color.
How wil blood flow out in case an artery is cut?
If an artery is cut, blood will flow out rapidly in a pulsating manner. These high pressure vessels can result in large blood loss iff cut.

If you get a cut on any vain would you be spurting blood?
No, you would be "spurting" blood if you cut an artery as that's what carries the blood away from the heart. It has more pressure so it would spurt. However, a vein is carrying the blood back to the heart so there is less pressure, therefore no spurting just an ooze.
An accident victim has a wound that is spurting out blood?
If it is spurting, an artery has been cut and there is no time to lose. The bleeding must be stopped very quickly or the patient will die.
Why is pressure higher in arteries than in veins?
Arterial blood is under pressure from the action of the heart while venous blood, being on its way back, moves more slowly and steadily. You can tell if an artery is cut by the bright red color of the blood and the spurting action of the blood flow. Venous blood is darker and flows evenly.
Why is arteries higher pressure in than in veins?

How do you know if you cut a main artery?
There is a lot of dark coloured blood. If it was an artery, the blood would be pulsing out, and bright red. Veins carry blood that needs oxygen back to the heart and lungs so oxygen can be replenished. This is why the blood is dark. Well oxygenated blood is bright red (in the arteries)

Why is UHF PG-13?
Being that it came out in 1989, the thought of a thumb being severed followed by blood spurting or a guy getting cut in two for an over due book. It would have been given a PG rating but Weird Al did not want to cut any scenes.
What does it mean if your blood is bright red?
Bright red blood is a sign of highly oxygenated blood. Pain, fast pulse rate and rapid respirations are generally the cause. Bright red blood is also a sign that an artery has been severed. Blood is red because it contains a chromophore (colored compound) called heme. The electronic structure of heme is such that it can reversibly bind certain other molecules, one of which is oxygen. The oxy-heme complex is bright red. If the blood came from an artery, it was probably already bright red. If it came from a vein, the heme will be a sort of dark purplish-red, but as soon as it hits the oxygen in the atmosphere, it will bind and form the bright red oxy-heme complex, so regardless of where you cut yourself, the blood is going to be bright red. When you give blood at a blood bank, the blood is drawn from a vein, and flows into a bag which keeps the oxygen out. This blood will be the dark purplish-red color of the deoxygenated heme.
What is the oxygenated blood?
Oxygenated blood is bright red, and would only come out of an artery. It will look strikingly different from venous blood which is darker, and what you would generally see if you had a superficial cut.
