After you get a paper cut, it's important that your body closes the cut (the wound) so you avoid getting an infection. There are three stages of wound healing to repair the cut. The stages are kind of like what you might go through if you tried to build a house.

First, the site has to be prepped and planning begins. Special cells called neutrophils are called in to help. They attract other immune cells and help trap invaders. During this inflammatory phase, your body stops blood loss by clotting the blood and reducing blood flow. Lots of "supervisors" like proteins, blood cells, and antibodies are sent to the site. Macrophages are a critical part of this wound healing team. They come to clean up the site before the building can start. They eat the dead skin cells and other waste around the area.

Once the wound is free of germs, the waste is cleaned up, and the skin growth started, the macrophages and neutrophils start to leave. It's important they leave because having inflammation for long periods of time can cause serious problems.

Platelets join together to form a clot to stop the bleeding. Then the platelets release a chemical called cytokines in your bloodstream to heal the cut. Your immune system is also alerted to scan for infections

Hello there!

She'd not have the need to purchase healthcare on Medicare benefits. The reason is that Medicare applicants are able to review their current health and prescription drug coverage. This includes any change in cost; coverages and benefits take action effect the next year. Would only need to review her overall Medicare plan. Hope this helps, have a nice day.

Endurance is the ability to balance and control one's body for long periods of time. So the statement is false.

<h3>What is agility? </h3>

Agility is a skill necessary for performing sports. It is defined as ' a quick movement of the whole body where there is a change of velocity or direction, in response to a stimulus.

A goalkeeper's reaction to a ball thrown towards the goal is an example of agility.

Though agility is also called a change in direction speed, these terms have some differences.

Agility is defined as the ability to react in unpredictable environments. Therefore, it requires both physical and mental skills. However, change in direction speed is purely based on physical abilities and it is often performed in a planned and controlled setting.

Therefore the statement is false.
