Why does blood ooze from a venous wound rather than spurting as it does from an arterial wound?

Blood oozes from a venous wound because veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart at lower pressure compared to arteries, which transport oxygenated blood under higher pressure. As a result, when a vein is cut, the blood flows steadily and slowly from the wound rather than spurting out. This steady flow is due to the collapse of the vein walls and the surrounding tissues, which do not propel the blood forcefully like the heart does with arterial blood.
