arterial bleeding is the most serious type of external bleeding. this type of bleeding can lead to a large amount of blood loss in a short period of time because the blood flows at a faster rate and is less likely to clot.
Two types of bleeding are the most life-threatening:internal vs. superficialarterial vs. venousThe most severe type of bleeding is arterial. Internal bleeding may be from a "small bleed" so while internal bleeding is serious, it is NOT the most severe type. For example, bleeding ulcer is internal bleeding and while it can be serious and can become life-threatening, it may not necessarily be severe.Traumatic internal bleeding is usually severe, serious, and life-threatening, but bleeds may start small and progress without emergency surgery; yet, there is usually enough time to get a trauma victim from the ER to the OR.
There are many different opinions on the order of treatment for a victim. Some cases that are usually considered hurry cases are stopped breathing, stopped heart beat, severe bleeding, internal poisoning, and shock. The order of treatment for these are debated.
Myopathy of the breathing muscles is serious as there may be serious breathing difficulties and increased risk for pneumonia, flu, and other respiratory infections.
If you are referring to "vein" as found in human anatomy, the word is "venous". This is sometimes confused with the word "venial" which is a sin. Meanings are as follows: VENOUS Full of or characterised by veins; veiny. VENIAL Not serious, forgivable. Less than mortal. As distinct from Arterial or Capillary.

in the brain and internal bleeding
Pulsatile bleeding is always more serious because the pulse means the bleeding is coming from an artery.
Stopped breathing - commence artificial respiration (and heart compressions if the heart has stopped) Serious bleeding - apply pressure (with sterile cotton pad) to the site of the bleed Ingested poisoning - give milk or other fluids to help dilute the poison DO NOT make the casualty sick - as they poison may be corrosive and will damage the throat tissues when the patient vomits. In ALL cases - seek medical attention ASAP !
Very serious bleeding
Is it breathing? What happens when you touch it?
A capillary is very small so a leak in it is not so dangerous but a leak in an artery will cause a huge loss of blood which is very serious.
