Dear student,

1) Haemorrhagic manifestations - ​
The term "hemorrhagic" comes from the Greek word which literally means "haima"- blood + rhegnumai"- to break forth.
Hemorrhage, also known as bleeding is the name used to describe blood loss. Loss of blood occurs inside as well as outside of the body. Internal bleeding occurs by the leaking of blood through a damaged blood vessel; damaging of blood vessel may be because of an internal injury. External bleeding occurs when blood exits through an injured skin. It could also occur through mouth, vagina, rectum and nose. all the symptoms of hemorrhage are collectively called hemorrhagic manifestation.
