Which of the following statements is most
correct regarding possible reasons why
tendon tears are difficult to repair on their
own, physiologically?
O tendons are avascular
tendons DO repair quickly and easily
O tendons are composed of loose connective
tissue and it doesn't hold together well
O the cartilage in the tendon is not innervated

Expert Solution

Step 1: Tendons

Tendons when compared to the other tissues can slow down the process of natural healing due to limited blood supply. This reduction in blood flow makes it difficult for tendons to repair themselves quickly and effectively. The lack of a robust blood supply can block the delivery of necessary nutrients and cells to the injured area, which can further contribute to the difficulty in tendon repair.
