We will start off understanding a sprain. A sprain is basically when you twist lets say your ankle to far and the ligaments are damaged by the excessive twisting of the joint. Ligaments consist of dense regular connective tissue. Dense regular connective tissue is made up of closely packed thick collagenous fibers. Thus when the dense regular connective tissues are damaged it just takes longer for them to heal because they are so densly packed together. Hope this helps! ^_^

Why do you think that injuries to the skin generally heal faster than injuries to the brain?
injuries to the skin heal faster than injuries in the brain because of cell division. When your skin cuts it heals faster then when something happens to your brain because your skin cells wear out quickly, so they need to be replaced often. That's why it is faster to heal than injuries to the brain :)
How does injuries on skin heal faster than injuries in the brain?
Injuries in the brain do not heal because brain cells cannot grow back. On the other hand body cells (skin) do grow back.
Why do bone injuries heal quickly?
Bone injuries heal very quickly because bone has a lot of direct blood flow. This direct blood flow delivers the nutrients needed to heal an injury.
