How does your body heal wounds?

Most of us take wound healing for granted.

When we get a small cut, we may clean and cover it with any bandage

but, yet under that bandage (or in the open air), our body

orchestrates a complex cascade of events designed to heal wounds

big and small. When our skin is cut, scraped, or punctured, we

usually begin to bleed. Within few minutes or even seconds, unless

we have a bleeding disorder, blood cells begin to clump together

and clot, protecting the wound and preventing further blood

loss.
