if we cut our vein or nerve we will die after 5 to 10 mins but if we cut our hand from the elbow or shoulder we don't die. why?
@ Aditya: You may refer to the answer given by your friend Priyamvada.
If a big vein had been cut, then the person bleed really bad and that lead to quick death. If a portion of vein got cut that may not lead to immediate death. But if left untreated, would be fatal.
