SPatter
a bloodstain created by the application of force to the area of which the blood originated
Origin
the place where the blood spatter came from
angle of impact
the angle which a blood droplet strikes a surface
parent drop
the blood droplet where the satellite spatter originates from
satellite spatters:
not attached to the parent drop, small drops of blood that breakaway from the parent spatter when the blood droplet hits the surface
spines
attached to the parent drop, the pointed edges of a stain that radiates out from a spatter
Passive blood stains
patterns that are created by gravity
drops, series of drops or pools of blood
projected bloodstains:
patterns that occur when a force is applied to the source of the blood
transfered or contact blood stains:
these are created when a wet bloody object comes into contact wiht a target surface
