Detailed explanation-1: -Veins are not as strong as arteries, with no high pressure. Venous bleeding: the blood flows from the damaged vein, not as pulse spurts. Venous bleeding is less serious than arterial bleeding, as the former stops automatically after 6-8 minutes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Arteries = high pressure, veins = low pressure. If you cut yourself and an artery is bleeding, it squirts a long way and it will have a pulse. If a vein is bleeding, the sight of it will still be disturbing, but it will not be pulsatile and it will be low pressure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arterial injection occurs when the individual hits an artery, not a vein. Hitting an artery can be painful and dangerous. Arterial blood travels away from the heart so whatever is injected goes straight to body limbs and extremities. Injection particles get stuck in blood capillaries and cut off circulation.
