Answer:

a medical procedure called venipuncture or phlebotomy. Venipuncture is the process of puncturing a vein, typically in the arm, to collect a blood sample for diagnostic testing or other medical purposes. Rolling up the sleeve is a preparatory step to expose the arm and make it easier to access the veins. This procedure is commonly performed by healthcare professionals such as nurses, phlebotomists, or medical technicians.
