Question

An accident resulted in a man’s hand being cut off from his arm. Paramedics arriving first on the scene

placed the cut-off hand in ice. The man and his hand were flown to a hospital, where doctors
successfully reattached the hand to his arm. Explain, using one biological reason, why placing the hand
in ice improved the chances of saving it.

Answer 1

i believe that it is because when you put the hand on ice it causes the hand too cool and prevents/slows the rate at which the nerves get damaged.
