When a large abrasion is oozing dark, red blood, what type of bleeding is present?

Capillary bleeding is characterized by oozing blood that is typically dark red in color. This type of bleeding occurs from small blood vessels called capillaries, which are located just beneath the surface of the skin. When an abrasion, or scrape, occurs, it can damage these tiny vessels, leading to a slow, steady flow of blood that may appear darker due to the lower oxygen content compared to arterial blood.

In the context of the question, the presence of a large abrasion that is oozing dark red blood aligns with capillary bleeding. The slow, continuous nature of the blood loss and its color are indicative of this type of bleeding rather than an abrupt or pulsing flow, which would suggest arterial bleeding, or the darker, more viscous appearance associated with venous bleeding. Furthermore, perfusive bleeding is not a standard term used in medical terminology concerning bleeding types.
