Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area of origin is the point in three-dimensional space where lines drawn from the various blood droplets to that point intersect. It is used to determine the location of the victim or suspect at the time the blood was shed. The directionality refers to the direction the blood droplets were traveling, the tangent area is the rough shape of a blood droplet as it strikes a surface, the area of convergence is the point where the lines of the bloodstain pattern converge, and a void is the absence of blood in an area where it would normally be expected.
