Why are sprains and cartilage injuries a particular problem?
Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
What is true about the blood supply to the skin?
The epidermis is avascular, while the dermis is richly vascularized.
Name the specific cartilages in the larynx that forms the Adam's apple?
The cartilage that forms the Adam's apple is the thyroid cartilage.
What is the name of the large cartilage of the anterior larynx?
The most prominent cartilage in the anterior larynx is the thyroid cartilage. The thyroid cartilage is a shield shaped structure made of hyaline cartilage.
Is Fibro cartilage is the most common type of cartilage in the body?
No, hyaline cartilage is the most abundant type of cartilage.
Is the spleen highly vascularized?
Yes it is indeed
Is it true does the dermis which is highly vascularized accounting for the often pink color in the cheeks true?
true
Cartilage has a rich capillary supply true or false?
False, cartilage gets most of its nutrients via diffusion of nutrients from synovial fluid. The cells in the fibrous synovial membrane that produce synovial fluid are richly vascularized.

Is muscle tissue well vascularized?
No. Avascular means that it does not get blood.
What does well-vascularized mean?
If tissue is well vascularized it has a suitable amount of blood vessles in it.
Is the lens of the eye vascularized?
No
What is true about epithelia?
They are richly vascularized.
Why can you study bone and not cartilage?
Cartilage could be used to hold our selves together but cartilage is actually unformed bone and Cartilage also is very unstable if you bones so to speak were made of cartilage we would highly unstable and unable to walk like a baby almost
Is dense connective tissue vascularized?
Yes. An example is in the dermis, which is very vascular. Dense regular connective tissue is not, however (consists of tendons and ligaments). The other kind of CT that is not vascular is cartilage. Source: medical school lectures
Healing of a partially torn ligament is slow because its hundreds of fibrous strands are poorly what?
vascularized
Explain why sprains and injuries to joint cartilages are particularly troublesome?
Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
