Question

Suppose you had a paper cut on your finger. Although the cut may have bled and stung a little, after a few days, the cut may have completely healed. Since you don’t actually have a cut on your finger, answer the following questions:

1. How do you think the body repairs an injury, such as a cut on a finger?

Answer 1

So first, the blood will start coming out almost immediately. Then, your blood cells will start to clot because of platelets. After the cut stops bleeding, your body will start producing collagen. These are the first step of new tissue. The cells then build up to make more tissue. The skin is then pulled back together.
