What cell parts help to heal an open wound?

Platelets in the blood, which contain growth factors, help to seal the wound by forming a blood clot. Fibroblasts produce collagen to strengthen the wound tissue, while white blood cells help fight infection and remove debris. Additionally, epithelial cells from the surrounding skin migrate to cover the wound and form new tissue.


Blood clots are partly due to the action of?

platelets, which are small cell fragments in the blood. When there is an injury to blood vessels, platelets are activated and adhere to the site of injury, forming a plug. This plug can then attract more platelets and other components of the blood, leading to the formation of a clot. The clot helps to prevent excessive bleeding and promote wound healing.


What is cogulation?
