Answer to Question #220231 in Human Anatomy and Physiology for Erin

Question

What is a normal recovery rate for a 15-17 years old and for a 40 year old. How do they compare?

Answer 1

Solution

The normal recovery rate for a teenager 15-17 takes about 3-6 days and that of a 40 year old takes 4-8 days.

This is due to high metabolic rate in teenagers which increases the rate at which the body fights diseases in teenagers than in 40 year olds
