How a wound heals itself - Sarthak Sinha

Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies, with a surface area of about 20 square feet in adults. When we are cut or wounded, our skin begins to repair itself through a complex, well-coordinated process. Sarthak Sinha takes us past the epidermis and into the dermis to investigate this regenerative response.

The body is a miracle. We think of ourselves as one lonely person, but each and everyone of us is a myriad of co-operating cells - a huge complex system of small parts who have slowly learned to strengthen and support eachother to create quite an incredible whole being, capable of consciousness and art and altruism. I think there is a profound beauty in that.

I always found it quite beautiful that the human body can repair itself. It’s like the body taking care of it’s home.

I'm never going to pick a scab off a cut ever again 😂 then cells work damn too hard for me to ruin their work 😁

It's amazing how all of this is going on without us even knowing about it.

Blood: form clot so that germs don’t enter
