Multiple Choice

Which set lists the three types of bleeding?

Bleeding is categorized into three types: arterial, venous, and capillary. Arterial bleeding comes from arteries and typically spurts with each heartbeat and is bright red. Venous bleeding flows steadily and is a darker red. Capillary bleeding oozes slowly and is usually the easiest to control. The complete set includes all three categories, which is why venous, arterial, capillary is the correct choice. Options that list only two types omit one category, making them incomplete. For example, a set that has venous and arterial misses capillary; one with capillary and venous misses arterial; and one with arterial and capillary misses venous.
