Document Summary

David odom: the left arm was the most serious bleeding site because of the pulsatile bleeding. This type of bleeding occurs when an artery is cut or wounded. This would cause rapid blood loss from the man"s brachial artery because of the high pressure: the blood flow from one bleeding site was pulsatile because he cut an artery. The blood flow from the other bleeding site was steady because blood flows at a steady pace when it is coming from veins or capillaries. The bleeding site of the arm was located on the arterial side. The bleeding site of the neck was located on the venous side: blood velocity is fastest in the aorta and large arteries due to the low cross-sectional area. Blood velocity is slowest in the capillaries because of the high cross-sectional area.
