injuries to the skin heal faster than injuries in the brain because of cell division.

How do skin injuries repair?

One way skin injuries heal is by blocking an opening with platelets from the blood. When you get cut, a bunch of platelets rush to the area and start forming a clot with fibrin. This is what a scab is. Also the scab is just a quick fix the real repairs begin after the scab is formed and the repairs occur under the scab.when the repairs are completed the scab starts to fall off.
