Blood acts as a natural bandage over a wound primarily due to its clotting ability. When a blood vessel is injured, platelets rapidly gather at the site and release chemicals that promote clotting, forming a fibrin mesh that seals the wound. This clot protects the underlying tissues from infection and further injury while facilitating healing. Additionally, components in blood, such as antibodies, help combat pathogens, further aiding in the healing process.
