There are platelets in the blood that helps to plug and stop the blood flow. Compressing the wound for a few minutes will also help. keeping the wound clean and covered with a band aid will help to prevent an infection. Blood components are: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Plasma in the blood becomes sticky and clogs the wound. Blood flow then continues around it. Healing takes places as the skin reproduces asexually (mitosis) to replace the damage cells.

Once the blood hits the air it begins to coagulate (thicken up) and then the wound starts to repair itself and heal over.
