Why do bone injuries heal much more rapidly than injuries to cartilage?
Because of the lack of blood supply to cartilage, (a new technique to hasten healing of injuries is to introduce fresh blood flow into the area) whereas the marrow in bones actually produce red blood cells, and bones are actually a honeycomb like structure, and they are constantly being taken apart, and rebuilt, microscopic bit by bit.
What part of the body heals quickest?
the mouth is the quickest healing of any body part. it is lined with EPITHELIAL tissue.
Which tissue heals by scar tissue?
Skin 2nd answer: True, but also most tissue in the body will heal with scar tissue if it is lacerated, torn, or incised.
Which heals better ligaments or tendons?
Both tendons and Ligaments heal at extremely slow rates because these connective tissues are avascular (lack of blood supply). Whereas other connective tissues such as bone heal at a MUCH higher rate because of high vascularity.
What is the importance of cleavage?
Lines of cleavage are of utmost importance to surgeons, because a cut made parallel to a line of cleavage will usually remain closed with only minimal bleeding. Such a cut heals with a minimum of scarring. By contrast, a cut made at a right angle to a cleavage line will be pulled open as cut elastin fibers recoil. This cut will bleed profusely and will produce much scar tissue as it heals.
Why are the cartilaginois tissue different from the other tissues?
Cartilage is different from other tissue because it has no blood vessels and it repairs and heals more slowly than other connective tissue. Cartiladge produces a large amount of extra cellular make up that is collegen fiberous.
Which structure heals faster bones or cartilages and why?
Bones heal faster because they have a better blood supply.
The smooth flexible layer of tissue covering the ends of bone is?
Hyaline cartilage is a type of tissue found at the ends of some bones.It is an amorphous (chondroitin and glucosamine) matrix that surrounds cells that are called chondrocytes (within lacunae).It acts as a support and as a cushion. It has little blood supply and because of that it heals poorly.

What is the fluid that the blood cells float in called What are the three types of blood cells and what are their respective functions?
Hmm well the first one is plasma- 55% of blood tissue I believe. Red Blood Cell-Delivers oxygen to body tissue White Blood Cell-Defends body against foreign materials and disease Platelets-Heals cuts (forms blood clots)
Name for an open sore that heals slowly?
could be tinea
How does asphalt heal itself?
The tissue of many living organisms heals itself.
Destruction of the surface of the epidermis which heals without scar tissue?
Sun Burn
Does asphalt heal itself?
The tissue of many living organisms heals itself.
What is cervical cryotherapy?
Cervical cryotherapy is a procedure which involves freezing an area of abnormal tissue on the cervix. This tissue gradually disappears and the cervix heals.
Why is a scab formed when you cut your knee?
The scab - is your body's defences protecting the damaged skin and underlying tissue from contamination while it heals. The scab is formed from dry blood cells which prevents dirt getting into the cut.
Why does cartilage and tendons take so long to heal?
Cartilage heals slower than bone because cartilage is avascular. Meaning there is no blood vessels. The lack of blood flow creates a slow healing process.Bone heals faster than cartilage because cartilage is avascular (no blood flow). This means that the blood flow necessary in injury repair will not get to the cartilage immediately; it will take much longer. Bone, however, does have blood flow because bone marrow produces red blood cells, which are able to repair the damage to the bone.Cartilage has a very poor blood supply which means that nutrients to aid healing are not readily available and it therefore takes a long time to heal, if indeed it does. Bone on the other hand, has an excellent blood supply which helps remove damaged tissue and debris plus it brings a healthy supply of new cells to support rapid remodelling. A completely healed bone (provided the fracture wasn't complicated) will lead to a structure that is just as strong as it was prior to injury. Although the main building work is done by approximately 8 weeks or so, it will actually take up to two years for full strength to be returned. Proper rehabilitation will ensure that the process is optimised e.g by doing weight bearing exercise as appropriate to strengthen the bone.
