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.


A casualty has cut himself severely with a sharp fishing knife and the wound is spurting bright red blood. state what vessel has mostly likely been damge.?

The spurting bright red blood indicates that the casualty has likely damaged an artery, specifically a major one like the radial or brachial artery, depending on the location of the wound. Arterial bleeding is characterized by its bright red color and rhythmic spurting, which correlates with the heartbeat. Immediate medical attention is necessary to control the bleeding and assess the extent of the injury.

Why is arteries higher pressure in 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.

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)

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.

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.
