How much blood do you have in your foot..?!


Question:

How much blood do you have in your foot..?

I stepped on a something I don't know what and my foot is bleeding a lot how much will it bleed.


Answers:

There isn't any blood in your "foot" exactly. The blood is in the arteries,veins and capillaries, which is part of your overall circulatory system. You lose blood when you puncture a hole in one of these structures. The arteries have the most pressure, so a punctured artery would "spurt" out. The veins have the next higher pressure and the blood would flow slowly and capillary blood is minor and oozes. If you stepped on something, and your foot is bleeding, usually direct pressure on the wound for 3-5 minutes, elevate your foot will help stop the bleeding. Just make sure you don't have an object in your foot as pressing on this may make the injury worse. Good Luck!
