If the damaged arteries are close to the skin, the victim bleeds quickly and blood spurts from wounds, each spurt occurring with a beat or pump of the heart. A large amount of blood is projected, leaving a distinctive arched bloodstain pattern. As the victim bleeds profusely, his or her blood pressure declines and the spurting becomes less intense; therefore, spurting bloodstains vary in size, becoming smaller and projected shorter distances. This spatter is typically seen on a vertical surface, such as a wall, in arch-like shapes of decreasing sizes. As noted earlier, arterial blood is rich in oxygen and has a bright red color.”","brand":"Lunch Break Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47074156183792,"sku":"2940015013719","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015013719_p0.jpg?v=1763947094","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015013719","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
