what is the point of swelling?!
Question: What is the point of swelling?
i mean, if swelling didnt have a point, the animals/humans that didnt swell should be the ones to survive better right? i mean, you always want the swelling to go down on a bruise or sprain, swelling of the brain might kill you, swelling around the eye can make you go blind. I mean, what point does swelling have in the body?
Answers:
It's the body's natural defense to further protect a damaged area. It also causes increased blood flow through the area that aids in faster healing.
Swelling is a result of restricted blood flow or infection.
