Bleeding is the loss of blood from the body. Hemorrhage (AE) or haemorrhage (BE) is the medical term for bleeding. In common usage, a hemorrhage means particularly severe bleeding; although technically it means escape of blood to extravascular space. The complete loss of blood is referred to as exsanguination.
Children are put more in danger by bleeding as they have less blood to lose. The average adult human will be in medical danger after 1 litre (2 pints) and could die of hypovolemic shock if more blood is lost.
The human body generates blood at a rate of about 2 litres (2 quarts) per week. The technique of blood transfusion is used to replace severe quantities of lost blood.
