Which of the following is NOT listed as a type of bleeding?

Bleeding is classified by how blood flows from a wound: arterial, venous, or capillary. Arterial bleeding is bright red and spurts under pressure; venous bleeding is darker and oozes steadily; capillary bleeding is slower and oozes. Internal bleeding, while serious, isn’t one of these external bleed types because it occurs inside the body rather than from an open wound. That’s why it isn’t listed among the three external types.
