If you would get a cut in the epidermis it wouldn't bleed because the cells in the stratum basale can easily divide and repair the damage...Now if you would get a cut in the dermis it would bleed because it doesn't have the under layer to protect it and repair it..

How many layers of skin do you have to penetrate before you bleed?

Really two. The epidermis is the most superficial layer of skin but is avascular (i.e. no blood vessels). The layer of skin deep to the epidermis is the dermis and that is where the blood vessels are located. So unless you penetrate into the dermis you will not bleed.

Why do paper cuts don't bleed a lot but always hurt a lot?

The reason paper cuts don't usually bleed is because it doesn't cut down into the skin deep enough, but still deep enough to slice the nerves. Paper cuts are so microscopic, they are able to cut into the Epidermis, the outer layer of skin, where nerves are located. The paper cuts the nerve ending, which is the reason for the extreme pain. The paper, however, is not able to cut further into the skin, the Dermis, where the blood is.


What primary tissue are destroyed when the skin is damaged?

The primary tissues destroyed when the skin is damaged depend on the extent of the injury. If a person receives a minor scratch, only the epidermis is injured, and the area will not bleed.
