Question

The usual Saturday morning baseball game is in progress. A few spectators are standing around on the sidelines. As Milo takes a swing at a curve ball, he loses his grip on the bat, which flies several feet, hitting Chris hard on the thigh. Chris drops to the ground, clutching his leg. The skin where the leg was struck immediately becomes red and begins to swell. What type of bleeding do you suspect Chris has

Answer 1

This is an example of internal bleeding.due to the escape of blood from the ruptured blood vessels into the body space.This explains the red coloration at the site of the ball impacts.

This form of bleeding can occur in tissues,body cavities and organs of the body.It is commonly not noticeable at the onset,but becomes obvious through the manifestation of signs and symptoms.These include haemorrhage, or impeding the function of the tissues or organs involved by the clot formed.

Other symptoms are; headache,confusion,stiff neck,blood stained stools.

Generally the extent of the bleeding depends on the organs,tissues or cavities damaged,the number of blood vessels affected which may be supplying theses body parts,and how fast the bleeding can be arrested by the clotting mechanisms.

Applications of clotting factors,Vit K,platelets, etc are treatments methods.
