Detailed explanation-1: -The most severe type of bleeding is arterial bleeding, but venous bleeding can be just as serious. You can identify venous bleeding by looking at the blood’s color and how quickly it flows out of a wound.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. Hopefully, you’ll put pressure on it either way and it will stop bleeding.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
