Which of the following describes the characteristics of venous bleeding?

Venous bleeding is characterized by dark red blood that flows steadily. This is due to the fact that veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart, which gives it a darker color compared to the bright red, oxygen-rich blood found in arteries. The steady flow of venous blood occurs because the pressure in the venous system is lower than in the arterial system, resulting in a continuous flow rather than spurting. Understanding this distinction is important for effectively managing bleeding in first aid and emergency situations, as it can inform the responder about the potential severity and necessary response for the type of bleeding occurring.
