|

| '''Bleeding''', technically known as '''hemorrhage''' ([[American English]]), '''haemorrhage''' ([[British English]]), or '''hæmorrhage''', is the loss of [[blood]] from the circulatory system.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.healthline.com/adamcontent/bleeding|title=Bleeding Health Article|publisher=Healthline|accessdate=2007-06-18}}</ref> Bleeding can occur internally, where blood leaks from [[blood vessel]]s inside the body or externally, either through a natural opening such as the [[vagina]], [[mouth]] or [[rectum]], or through a break in the [[skin]].

| The complete loss of blood is referred to as [[exsanguination]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/exsanguination|title=Dictionary Definitions of Exsanguination|publisher=Reference.com|accessdate=2007-06-18}}</ref> and [[desanguination]] is a massive blood loss. Loss of 10-15% of total blood volume can be endured without clinical [[sequela]]e in a healthy person, and [[blood donation]] typically takes 8-10% of the donor's blood volume.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blood.co.uk/pages/b36faint.html|title=Blood Donation Information|publisher=UK National Blood Service|accessdate=2007-06-18}}</ref>
