Reply to comment by EnchantedCatto in when a limb gets amputated, how do they stop the flow of blood? by EnchantedCatto
I’m think of it like your at home plumbing system. We tie off the end of the blood vessel and it’s now a dead end. Same thing at home. When you turn off the faucet your pipes don’t just explode. The water just stops.
