Which Is Worse?

The video explains the healing processes of bones, ligaments, and other tissues. Bones heal quickly due to their active remodeling and rich blood supply, while ligaments heal slower due to limited blood access. The cornea, despite lacking direct blood supply, heals rapidly thanks to nutrient-rich fluid. Overall, healing is influenced by the availability of resources, primarily delivered by blood.

What is one of the primary reasons bones can heal faster than ligaments?

• Bones are softer than ligaments.

• Bones have a better blood supply.

• Bones are less dense than ligaments.

• Bones are more flexible than ligaments.

What is the main function of ligaments in the body?

• To produce blood cells.

• To store minerals.

• To hold the body together.

• To remodel over time.

Why do ligaments take longer to heal compared to bones?

• They are more active than bones.

• They have a direct blood supply.

• They are constantly remodeling.

• They rely on nutrients from nearby tissues.

Which tissue in the body heals the fastest despite lacking a direct blood supply?

• Hyaline cartilage

• Muscles

• Ligaments

• Cornea

What is the general rule of thumb regarding blood supply and healing speed?

• Less blood supply equals faster healing.

• More blood supply equals slower healing.

• More blood supply equals faster healing.

• Blood supply has no effect on healing speed.
