Answer:

b) avascular

Explanation:

Blood supply is an important factor necessary for quick healing of an injury. The cartilage is <em><u>an avascular tissue</u></em>, meaning there is no blood supply to the cartilage.

The prolonged recovery of this injury is basically due to the physiological fact that the cartilage is avascular. Tissues that have blood supply heal faster when damaged, when compared to damaged cartilages lacking blood supply.

Cuando se dice que un niño a nacido con vida?
emmainna [20.7K]
Cuando los bebés sobreviven al aborto, se los mantendrá vivos intencionalmente o se los matará intencionalmente. No hay en el medio. Si los comentarios de Trump son falsos, como afirman los medios de comunicación, entonces deberían decirnos lo que realmente le sucede a un niño que nace vivo, si la madre y el médico deciden que no debe recibir atención. El país merece saber una respuesta a esto.
