Because being closer to the beating of the heart, it has more pressure behind it. Arterial blood is "outboud". Venous blood is "inbound".
ANS2:Arterial bleeding is difficult to control because the pulsing pressure, delivered directly from the heart, makes clot formation less effective for staunching the flow than it would be for capillary or venous bleeding.Arterial bleeding produces the fastest blood loss and is the most difficult to control. Arteries carry oxygenated blood at high pressure and if severed, can result in rapid and profuse bleeding. Immediate medical attention is necessary to control arterial bleeding.
To control arterial bleeding, apply direct pressure to the wound using a clean cloth or bandage. Elevate the wound above the level of the heart if possible. If bleeding continues, apply pressure to the nearest pressure point between the wound and the heart while waiting for medical help.
Arterial Bleeding
1. Venous bleeding (bleeding from the veins). 2. Arterial bleeding (bleeding from the arteries). 3. Capillary bleeding.
A tourniquet. Arterial bleeding can't be stopped with a field dressing.
Yes you can.
Venous blood flow is easiest to control. Arterial blood flow is hardest to control because it is under pressure from the heart.
An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.
Arterial.
arterial
It is a blood clot in an artery.
Menstrual bleeding is predominantly venous.
