Why does bone tissue heal quickly?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

because cartilage has a poor blood supply, and bone tissue is highly vascularized, cartilage heals slower than that of bone tissue

Answer 5

Bone has a very good blood supply while cartridge does not. That is important in the length of healing time.

Answer 6

parasites?
