Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 20RQ
Why is cartilage slow to heal?
- because it eventually develops into bone
- because it is semi-solid and flexible
- because it does not have a blood supply
- because endochondral ossification replaces all cartilage with bone

Women build bone until about age 35 and then begin to lose about 1 percent of their bone mass annually. Men start losing bone mass approximately 10 to 20 years later. During the aging process, most skeletal system changes result from changes in connective tissue. Most bone loss is caused by the loss later in life of bone mineral content, especially calcium salts deposited in the bone matrix. The cartilage becomes hard and brittle.
