Across
  1. 3. a bloodstain pattern caused by a high velocity impact to a blood source such as that produced by a gunshot or high speed machinery
  2. 4. blood in the barrel of a firearm that has been drawn backward into the muzzle
  3. 8. a bloodstain pattern created when blood is released or thrown off from a blood bearing object in motion
  4. 9. bloodstain drops created or formed by the force of gravity acting along.
  5. 10. blood which travels in the same direction as the source of energy or force which caused the spatter
  6. 13. bloodstain pattern resulting from blood exiting the body under pressure from a breached artery.
  7. 15. a change in the shape and direction of a bloodstain due to the influence of gravity or movement of the object.

  1. 1. Blood directed back towards the source of energy or force that caused spatter
  2. 2. Rings in blood that result when blood containing air bubbles dries and reatains the bubbles circular configurations a dried outline
  3. 4. Abloodstain pattern which results from blood dripping into blood
  4. 5. blood that is blown out of the nose, mouth, or a wound as a result of air pressure and/or air flow which is the propelling force
  5. 6. pattern bloodstain pattern created when blood receives a blow or force resulting in the random dispersion of smaller drips of blood.
  6. 7. a bloodstain pattern caused by a medium velocity impat to a blood source
  7. 11. A drop of blood from which a wave, cst-off, or satellite spatter.
  8. 12. a bloodstain pattern that is caused by a low velocity impact to a blood source
  9. 14. blood which has been reduced to a fine spray, as a result of the energy or force applied to it
