Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following squirt blood when cut?
A
capillaries
B
veins
C
arteries
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood squirt (blood spurt, blood spray, blood gush, or blood jet) is the effect when an artery is ruptured. Blood pressure causes the blood to bleed out at a rapid, intermittent rate in a spray or jet, coinciding with the pulse, rather than the slower, but steady flow of venous bleeding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Arterial Bleeding Because the blood pressure inside the arteries tends to be much higher than that in the veins, a major arterial rupture can result in some fairly obvious and dramatic bleeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -A: Varicose veins can bleed profusely due to the high pressure that results from vein disease. The best way to reduce the pressure (and therefore the rate of bleeding) is to elevate your leg to heart level. An easy way to accomplish this is to lie down on the floor.
