When we have an external wound the wound generally tents to clotand there is a layer of solid scab formed.

Now,Yesterday while brushing my teeth i somehow hurt my gums andit got all bloody but didn't clot neither did it pain just afterthe accident

after maybe like 12 or 15 hrs later i have trouble opening mylips and when i looked at the spot in the mirror the gum tissuearound and on the wound had become a White/Yellowish color.

Our Mouth are supposed to be the most contaminated regions onthe human body so how come these mouth wounds heal in just about aweek and don't get infected .

what is the healing mechanism found in the mouth tissue cause ifigure its completely different from the process on the externalbody wounds?

I've got a small aviary at home with several different species ofbirds in it, and every so often when I have to add another onethere, because of natural losses, the different birds always seemto know what they are, the budgies don't try and mate with thecanaries and the finches don't try and shack up with the canaries.I was wondering how they actually knew what they were, and Iassumed it was just how they were brought up by the parents. Itthen did occur to me that how on earth do cuckoos manage? Cuckoos,being brought up by a foster parent of a totally different species,eventually grow up and spend a life as a cuckoo, behaving like acuckoo and finding another cuckoo to mate with.

If I recall correctly, nails (finger nails or toe nails) grow byadding matter at its base. So for instance, if you would draw a dotat the very bottom of your nail, it would end at the top in acouple of weeks.

I was wondering how this works with hair. Is new hair added atthe bottom and the old hair 'pushed' away? Or does hair consist oflayers that always try to get further and further (that would meanlonger hair is thicker than shorter hair). And is this wayof growthsimilar to how grass grows?
