How do your bones heal?
-
They are stapled back together
-
They are glued together
-
They are natural healers
-
They stay broken forever
Correct Answer
A. They are natural healersExplanation
Bones have the ability to heal themselves naturally through a process called bone remodeling. When a bone is fractured, the body initiates a series of cellular and molecular events that promote the formation of new bone tissue. This process involves the recruitment of specialized cells called osteoblasts, which produce new bone material, and osteoclasts, which break down and remove damaged bone tissue. Over time, these cells work together to rebuild and repair the fractured bone, allowing it to regain its strength and function. Therefore, the correct answer is that bones are natural healers.Rate this question:

Which of the following is an acute or chronic soft tissue injury that occurs to a muscle, tendon, or both?

Muscle strain
-
Muscle pull
-
Muscle tear

A. Muscle pullExplanation
A muscle pull is an acute or chronic soft tissue injury that occurs to a muscle, tendon, or both. This injury is typically caused by overstretching or overexertion of the muscle, leading to small tears in the muscle fibers. Symptoms of a muscle pull include pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Treatment usually involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with physical therapy to strengthen the affected muscle.Rate this question:
