What is haemorrhage? Give its effects.
It is the discharge of blood from blood vessels. Especially important is, the brain haemorrhage which results from bursting of any of the arteries supplying the brain. Slow haemorrhages may not cause decrease in the volume of blood, as this may be replaced as rapidly as it is lost. However, the lost red blood cells and their pigment, haemoglobin, may not be replaced and often the first signs and symptoms of severe chronic blood loss are those of anaemia: tiredness, pallor, and breathlessness on exertion. Severe haemorrhage, if untreated, may result in fainting and even death.
