A. During the first twelve hours, the minute vessels in the vicinity of the wound dilate, and from them lymph exudes and leucocytes migrate into the tissues. B. When a wound is made in the integument under aseptic conditions, the passage of the knife through the tissues is immediately followed by an oozing of blood, which soon coagulates on the cut surfaces. C. In each of the divided vessels, a clot forms, and extends as far as the nearest collateral branch; and on the surface of the wound, there is a microscopic layer of bruised and devitalised tissue. D. If the wound is closed, the narrow space between its edges is occupied by a blood-clot, which consists of red and white corpuscles mixed with a quantity of fibrin, and this forms a temporary uniting medium between the divided surfaces.
