Final answer:
The correct term for a closed, nonpenetrating wound with an accumulation of blood from broken vessels in tissues is a Hematoma. The option (C) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The term for a closed, nonpenetrating wound in which blood from broken vessels accumulates in tissues is a Hematoma. This condition occurs when a blood vessel is severed and blood along with its components, such as erythrocytes and white blood cells, leak out of the breaks and accumulate in the surrounding tissue.
Hematomas can occur in various contexts, including after an injury, like a skin wound or a broken bone, where the vessel tearing and subsequent hemorrhage result in the formation of clotted blood at the site of the injury. The body's response to such injury is critical to prevent excessive blood loss, primarily through the formation of blood clots and hemostasis. Therefore, option (C) is correct.
