How Do They Know?

I want to know how things work.  I watch the science channel on TV when they show the programs about how things are made and how things work.  I like to watch the programs that describe how the Milky Way and the solar system were formed.  It’s just my nature to want to know these things.

I understand cells in the body get some type of signal when we are wounded and they divide to fill the wound and to create a smooth skin.  But as they divide, how do they know what’s around them so they can create a new skin without much of a scar.  They can’t see.  How do they communicate?  I don’t have a clue.

I recently had a basil cell cancer removed from my nose.  The surgeon cut skin from behind my ear, sewed it onto to my nose and then sewed a bandage to my nose to cover it.  How do my nose cells know that they are supposed to work with the ear cells to form a nice looking nose?  It’s beyond my pay grade.

Now that the bandages are off and I look at my nose with Aloma’s magnifying mirror, I think I see a slight image of an ear on my nose.  Not surprising.  Many grafts are taken from the butt, I’m told.  If the surgeon had taken skin from my butt to graft onto to my nose, guess what image I would see in the magnifying mirror?

I guess I should be satisfied with an ear image.
