Wounds & Bleeding

When it comes to bleeding there are 3 types; Arterial, Venous, & Capillary. There are three definitions below but which definition matches the type of bleed?

1. Dark Red. Deoxygenated blood that pours from wounds. May flow profusely.
2. Oozing occurs at the sight of all wounds. Blood loss tends to be slight.
3. Bright oxygenated blood spurts from a wound in time with the heart beat.

There are 6 types of wound;

•Gunshot

•Abrasion

•Laceration

•Puncture

•Incision

•Contusion

Please give a brief explanation as to what each wound should look like, it might be helpful to add a picture to highlight your understanding and explanation :)
