Which term means 'Bleeding to death'?

• A. Exsanguination
• B. Gross
• C. Hemorrhage
• D. Heroin

Answer: (A)

Bleeding to death is described by exsanguination. The term literally means draining blood from the body and, in medical and forensic usage, denotes extreme blood loss that leads to death. It comes from Latin ex- (out of) and sanguis (blood), capturing the idea of blood being expelled to a life-threatening extent. By contrast, hemorrhage simply means bleeding in general—an event that can be minor or severe but not necessarily fatal. Gross is a pathology term about what can be seen with the naked eye, not about bleeding. Heroin is unrelated to bleeding terminology.
