Question

Match the word in Column 1 to its definition in Column 2. Each answer can only be used once.

Angle of impact

Area of convergence

Area of origin

Arterial spray

Back spatter

Cast-off

Expirated blood pattern

Flow pattern

Forward spatter

High-velocity spatter

Impact spatter

Low-velocity spatter

Medium-velocity spatter

Satellite spatter

Skeletonization

Drip trail pattern

Transfer pattern

Void

_________

A. The acute angle formed between the path of a blood drop and the surface which it contacts

B. The area on a two-dimensional plane where lines traced through the long axis of several individual bloodstains meet. This approximates the two-dimensional place where the bloodstains were projected from

C. The location in three-dimensional space that blood that produced a bloodstain originated from. The location of the area of convergence and the angle of impact for each bloodstain is used to approximate this area.

D. A characteristic bloodstain pattern containing spurts that results from blood exiting under pressure from an arterial injury

E. Blood directed back towards the source of the force that caused the spatter

F. A bloodstain pattern that is created when blood is flung from a blood-bearing object in motion onto a surface

G. Blood that is expelled out of the nose, mouth, or respiratory system as a result of air pressure and/or air flow

H. A bloodstain pattern formed by the movement of small or large amounts of blood due to gravity's pull

I. Blood which travels away from the source in the same direction as the force which caused the spatter

J. An impact spatter pattern created by a force traveling at 100 ft/sec or faster and producing droplets with diameters less than 1 mm

K. A bloodstain pattern produced when an object makes forceful contact with a source of blood, projecting droplets of blood outward from the source

L. An impact spatter pattern created by a force traveling at 5 ft/sec or less and producing droplets with diameters greater than 3 mm

M. An impact spatter pattern created by a force traveling at 5-25 ft/sec and producing droplets with diameters between 1 mm and 3 mm

N. Small droplets of blood that are distributed around the perimeter of a drop or pool of blood that were produced as a result of the blood impacting the target surface

O. The process by which the edges of a stain will dry to the surface in a specific period of time (dependent upon environmental and surface conditions) and will remain apparent even after the rest of the bloodstain has been disturbed from its original position

P. A pattern of bloodstains formed by the dripping of blood off a moving surface or person in a recognizable pathway separate from other patterns

Q. A bloodstain pattern created when a surface that carries wet blood comes in contact with a second surface. Recognizable imprints of all or a portion of the original surface or the direction of movement may be observed.

R. An area within a deposited spatter pattern that is clear of spatter, caused by an object or person blocking the area at the time of the pattern's deposition

Explanation / Answer

A. The acute angle formed between the path of a blood drop and the surface which it contacts: Angle of Impact.

B. The area on a two-dimensional plane where lines traced through the long axis of several individual bloodstains meet. This approximates the two-dimensional place from which the bloodstains were projected: Area of Convergence.

C. The location in three-dimensional space that blood that produced a bloodstain originated from. The location of the area of convergence and the angle of impact of each bloodstain is used to approximate this area: Area of Origin.

D. A characteristic bloodstain pattern containing spurts that results from blood exiting under pressure from an arterial injury: Arterial Spray.

Please post the other questions separately as we are supposed to answer just one question or four sub parts of a question.
