Transmits electrical messages to various parts of the body.

4.

Logan's knee has been bothering him. He went to the doctor to find out why it was hurting. He was told that he sprained his MCL. The doctor told him that it would take quite a few weeks for this injury to heal, significantly longer than if he would have broken a bone. Why (there is more than one correct answer)?

a)

tendons and ligaments are avascular so they don't get the nutrients available to heal quickly

b)

tendons and ligaments are vascular so they have ample blood supply & heal relatively quickly

c)

bones are avascular so they don't get the nutrients available to heal quickly

d)

bones are vascular so they have ample blood supply & heal relatively quickly

e)

tendons, ligaments, and bones all heal at relatively the same rate but tendons and ligaments have more tissue to heal
