The highly vascularized circulation in the mouth is what makes a cut on the tongue or oral mucosa bleed profusely. Interestingly enough, it's that same highly vascularized circulation that helps the mouth heal quite well if it is cut or if the mucosa is damaged.
I just thought it was curious that the same thing that makes it bleed, is the same thing that makes it heal.
More than one thing works this way in the human experience.
