Blood vessels near the cut constricted is the mechanism that her body used to minimize the blood loss.

The mechanism in which blood vessels near the cut becomes constricted to prevent blood loss is known as vasoconstriction. This mechanism is the first response of the blood vessel to damage and it is initiated by vascular smooth muscle cells. Immediately a blood vessel is injured (cut), the blood vessel near the cut will constrict (narrow) which will make the blood flow through the affected area to be blocked or minimized. This way the amount of blood loss is reduced.

An electromagnet is a device in which moving electric charges (current) in a coil of wire create a magnet. What’s one advantage
belka [17]

Electromagnets can easily be turned on and off.

Explanation:

An electromagnet produces magnetic field which is done by the electric current. These electromagnets contain a wire would like a coil. The current passes through the wire and the magnetic field is concentrated in the center which is the "center of the coil".

When the current is "turned off" the magnetic field "disappears". This shows that we have can have a control over the passage of current or the magnetic field. Thus, the "main advantage" of the electromagnet is that it can be easily turned on and off whenever necessary.
