Question
The plastic region of a stress-strain curve of a ligament indicates an area where:
A. the magnitude of applied stress leads to a failure of the stretched tissue
B. the stretched tissue recoils to its resting length once the stressor force is removed
C. indicates the yield point
D. the magnitude of applied stress induces plastic changes in the stretched tissue
Expert Solution
Step 1a brief explanation for answer
Definition:
The ligaments and tendons have the property of plasticity i.e. these tissues doesn't come back to it's original position after applying the stress more than their limits. Resulting, fracture occurs in tissues.
Yield point: it represent the end point of elasticity of tissues, while the beginning point of plastic region.
