1. Wounds - By Dermot Holmes

2. Wounds A wound is usually when a persons skin is cut, torn, punctured, pierced or broken for example. It is physical trauma, this trauma may cause bleeding, pain and irritation. It usually will hurt, how much it does depends on the deepness, size and what type of wound it is. Bleeding is caused by damaged arteries, blood will flow heavier if one is damaged. Effective action should be sought to help save the life. Any small cuts or bleeds will usually slow down fairly quickly through clotting, body clotting is a defensive mechanism where white blood cells build up around the area to form a scab or dry blood. Larger cuts need assistance and outside intervention.
