MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -When your skin is cut, scraped, or punctured, you usually start to bleed. Within minutes or even seconds, blood cells start to clump together and clot, protecting the wound and preventing further blood loss. These clots, which turn into scabs as they dry, are created by a type of blood cell called a platelet.

Detailed explanation-2: -What causes scabs? Scabs form as a defense against infection, blood loss, and debris. When you get a scrape or cut, platelets-or blood clot cells-will begin to clot to stop bleeding and prevent any excess fluid from flowing out. As the blood or wound dries, it forms the hard layer of a scab.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scabs are primarily formed to protect your wound against blood loss and infection. Blood clot cells (platelets) start to clot in order to prevent any more blood or fluids from leaving the body. As the blood on the wound begins to dry it creates the crusty scab layer over the wound.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood contains tiny fragments of cells called platelets. These platelets are involved in blood clotting and scab forming.
