4. You can pull a muscle and fracture a bone.
How can these injuries heal and which will take the longest?
A pulled muscle has been (slightly) torn.
The muscle will swell and sometimes bleed. Muscle-cells will need to rebuild the muscle.
A fractured bone is broken.
The osteoblasts and osteoclast will need to repair the bone, to rebuild the tissue. (this can be helped with a cast).
Repairing bone tissue takes longer than repairing muscle tissue
