Which is the best response by the skin to a bleeding paper cut?

minimize the flow of blood to the site

produce salt-filled sweat to get rid of pathogens at the site

initiate cell division

protect against UV light

Verified Answer :

The best response by the skin is to minimize the blood flow to the site. According to Dr.Anthony J. Mancini, a professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in the blood there are proteins that creates clot and make a covering to protect the cut from foreign materials. Examples of these proteins are platelets and fibrin. This step happens within seconds immediately after you got a cut.

the answer is actually to initiate cell division i just took the test and missed it because i clicked minimize the flow of blood to site hope this helps :)
