A: What he said up there. They will probably also stitch you if it's an open wound, and put some antiseptic or whatever they use there. =) Good luck! Also if it's a closed wound, maybe there will be some bruising but other than that, I heard your body has a natural ability to heal itself, as long as it's not too bad of an injury.

What is the path of blood from the left ventricle to the brain?
Blood vessels that supply the brain are the two carotid arteries and the two vertebral arteries.- From the left ventricle, blood flows into the aorta and the common carotid arteries supply the frontal portion of the brain through the inner carotid arteries, which lead to blood vessels such as the three pairs of cerebral arteries (anterior, middle, posterior).- From the left ventricle, blood flows from the arch of the aorta into the paired subclavian arteries, and then to the vertebral arteries, which supply the rear and lower parts of the brain through the basilar artery (which ends at the posterior cerebral arteries).* Within the brain, cross-connections between these arteries (called the Circle of Willis) provide some redundancy should any of the arteries become severed or blocked.
