It is easier for the bones of children to heal faster than adults because their bones are still in the process of growing. Up to about 18-19 years of age, the bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) are more abundant in both number and activity, than is seen on older adults. Starting as young as age 30, the body may begin to decline in its ability to maintain bone density and healing. Cells within the body are constantly working to remove broken down bone particles, and replacing them with new ones. As an individual ages, this process slows down, resulting in a longer healing time for adults.
In children their bones are made of red bone marrow which produces blood. Blood helps bones regenerate. After a certain period, their bones are filled with yellow bone marrow (which produces fat). Therefore the regeneration process slows down. XD

∙ 9y agoHigh vascularity allows bone injuries to heal relatively rapidly. Blood helps to repair bodily injuries, and bones tend to have very good blood supplies.

∙ 12y agoI believe the reason is because bones are constantly being fed blood and cartlidge is not, therefore the bone will heal faster than cartlidge alone

∙ 13y agobecause cartilage has a poor blood supply, and bone tissue is highly vascularized, cartilage heals slower than that of bone tissue

Is bone living tissue?
Yes, bone is living tissue. Bone is made up of living and non-living components. There are living cells (collagen, etc.) and non-living minerals (calcium, etc). It has a blood supply and innervation. It is made up of cells that grow and die. Bone can get infected. Bone can heal and be repaired.

Are bone cells tissue or organs?
GROUP OF CELLS FORM TISSUE ..SO BONE TISSUE IS FORMED OF FIVE TYPES OF BONE CELLS. Bone tissue contains five basic types of bone cells. There are cells which are responsible for the response of the body to trauma and fracture, and those which secrete the basic chemical compound which bones are made of. There are cells mature bone cells and cells that break down the bone tissue. All bone cells have a particular function and each is needed for bones to retain their strength, develop, heal, and grow.
