I’m not really too sure about this in real life since I don’t see fights that often, but why do movies and cartoons show that? For example, I saw a cartoon where someone smacked the other person with a baseball bat. Suddenly they’re laying on the ground, bleeding on the back of the head.
I get areas where there’s a passage way like your nose, mouth, and even ears but why do random spots on the head bleed when no cuts were involved? How does the skin rips open after a big blow to it?

It’s not really a cut it’s a *split*. Your skull bones are very hard and close to the surface with only a thin layer of skin and muscle over top. A hard impact even if it’s blunt can split the trapped skin because it has nowhere else to go.
Picture putting a slice of bologna on a rock surface and then hitting it with a bat or giving it a hard punch. Even though there’s nothing sharp to “cut” the bologna, it can split because it’s a soft thing being crushed between 2 hard objects so it has to split as it’s pushed out of the way.
