  2. Blood squirt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_squirt

    Blood squirt (blood spurt, blood spray, blood gush, or blood jet) is a projectile expulsion of blood when an artery is ruptured. Blood pressure causes the blood to bleed out at a rapid, intermittent rate in a spray or jet, coinciding with the pulse, rather than the slower, but steady flow of venous bleeding.

  3. Hematoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematoma

    A hematoma, also spelled haematoma, or blood suffusion is a localized bleeding outside of blood vessels, due to either disease or trauma including injury or surgery [1] and may involve blood continuing to seep from broken capillaries.

  4. Bruise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruise

    Bruise colors vary from red, blue, or almost black, depending on the severity of broken capillaries or blood vessels within the bruise site. Broken venules or arterioles often result in a deep blue or dark red bruise, respectively. Darker colored bruises may result from a more severe bleeding from both blood vessels.

  6. Infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infarction

    Infarction occurs as a result of prolonged ischemia, which is the insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrition to an area of tissue due to a disruption in blood supply.The blood vessel supplying the affected area of tissue may be blocked due to an obstruction in the vessel (e.g., an arterial embolus, thrombus, or atherosclerotic plaque), compressed by something outside of the vessel causing it ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_bypass

    In the legs, bypass grafting is used to treat peripheral vascular disease, acute limb ischemia, aneurysms and trauma.While there are many anatomical arrangements for vascular bypass grafts in the lower extremities depending on the location of the disease, the principle is the same: to restore blood flow to an area without normal flow.

  8. Medial plantar artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_plantar_artery

    The medial plantar artery (internal plantar artery), much smaller than the lateral plantar artery, passes forward along the medial side of the foot.. It is at first situated above the abductor hallucis, and then between it and the flexor digitorum brevis, both of which it supplies.

  9. Vascular anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_anomaly

    A vascular anomaly is a localized defect in blood vessels or lymph vessels. These defects are characterized by an increased number of vessels, and vessels that are both enlarged and heavily curved. Some vascular anomalies are congenital, others appear within weeks to years after birth, and others are acquired by trauma or during pregnancy ...
