Moretón

Moretón

Si te golpeas una parte del cuerpo contra algo, tal vez la piel se ponga de diferentes colores en el lugar donde recibiste el golpe. Ese manchón violáceo, verde, azul y negro se llama “moretón”, y es provocado por la sangre proveniente de vasos sanguíneos (los tubos que transportan la sangre) que se rompen debajo de la piel. Como no te cortaste, la sangre de los vasos sanguíneos dañados no puede salir. Por el contrario, queda atrapada debajo de la piel. Los moretones no son muy agradables, pero el cuerpo los hace desaparecer rápidamente.
