Two questions, not related:

1. Which arteries cannot be stitched?

2. Where are the arteries in your body?

the ones that are a width of a hair

2. Where are the arteries in your body?

Is this a trick question?

damn it geoffM did you kill a hooker

Is this a trick question?

I meant main arteries. Not the little ones.

No. If I killed her, I wouldn't need to know where the arteries are.

is there a particular one you're looking for? because they are all over the body in every every extremity. Just look for a red one but the main arteries are the brachiocephalic artery, carotid artery and the left subclavian artery which all start at the aortic arch.

Nothing in particular. This whole thread stemmed from a conversation my GF and I were having. It was roughly along the lines of if you had to quickly cut an artery to kill them, which one would you go for, and where is it?

I've seen something like this in a movie. A teacher from elementary school got kidnapped, and put in a room with a broken telephone. She managed to fix it and call a random person. The whole movie she's on the phone with this person, and eventually manages to escape her room. She fatally injures one of the kidnappers by cutting his leg artery.

well in that case, i'd go for carotid artery in the neck as that area is often not covered or protected.

Arteries run all over. The Femoral artery runs through the right leg and possibly left. Not sure if that's called something else though.

An officer was killed here years ago by getting cut in his leg. He bled out and died.

in the movie "Hannibal" Lechter stabs a guy in the leg and cuts his femoral artery and the guy bleeds out quick because the femoral artery is approximately 1 inch in diameter

yeah that shit's scary my brother has a big bulging vein sticking out of his right leg. I'm pretty sure its an artery. You can clearly see it through his skin when he wears shorts and I always ask him if ir freaks him out that he could easily cut it and bleed out. shits crazy.
