Xena eventually catches Callisto (remember, she is 25 years old). Salmoneus, who is 60 years old, agrees to deliver Callisto to face charges for war crimes. On the way, their cart crashes down a ravine. Both Callisto and Salmoneus break several ribs and suffer trauma to the external intercoastal muscles. Considering their ages, describe one likely difference in the recovery for both a BONE and a skeletal MUSCLE (i.e., external intercostals).
