if our bloodstream is a circuit, how do tourniquets work?

380 viewsBiologyOther

As the title mentions, don’t tourniquets just stop the blood completely, or do they direct the blood to where they should go?
Also, how does it work in the case of amputations?

These may be stupid questions…

Think of it like closing off a road in the city. Blood (traffic) can’t go that way so it just goes a different way.
