When you get a cut, your body reacts by inflaming the area and increasing blood flow to initiate the healing process, which involves cell division through mitosis to replace damaged cells and create new tissue. This carefully controlled process continues through wound closure and remodeling, essential for proper healing and preventing complications like scarring.

When you get a cut, your body starts to heal right away. First, the area gets red and puffy, which is called inflammation. This happens because more blood flows to the cut to help it heal. The blood brings special cells that help fix the damage. These cells divide and multiply through a process called mitosis to replace the damaged ones and build new tissue. This whole healing process keeps going until the cut is closed up and your skin looks normal again. It's super important for avoiding problems like scars!
