In this lesson, we will explore the role of blood in forensic science, particularly in crime scene investigations (CSI). Blood is a vital body fluid responsible for transporting oxygen and fighting infections. We'll focus on the importance of volume measurement of blood in determining circumstances surrounding stab wounds. By analyzing the blood collected from a crime scene, investigators can estimate the timing of an assault. Join us as we apply these principles to solve a CSI case through practical examples and essential questions related to blood evidence.
