Multiple Choice

A blood spatter with a tail can tell us the origin (direction) of the spatter. Did the spatter come from the larger side of the blood droplet or the thin long tail side of the blood droplet?

• The origin came from the larger side of the blood droplet.

• The origin came from the thin long tail side of the blood droplet.

Multiple Choice

We use string/lines and see where the lines cross to figure out location of blood.

• Area of Convergence

• Point of Origin

• Blood Come From Here Spot
