Card 14 / 39:
Why does an injury to cartilage, especially hyaline cartilage, heal much more slowly than a bone fracture?
A layer of dense irregular connective tissue covers cartilage. No blood vessels supply cartilage tissue. Injuries to cartilage heal very slowly because cells and nutrients needed for repair diffuse slowly to the injury site.
