Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The elastic region on the stress-strain curve represents the portion of the curve where tissue is stretched but returns to its original length after the stretch is stopped. Therefore, choice (B) is the correct answer. The toe region is characterized by a small amount of deformation before the tissue begins to respond linearly to the applied stress. The plastic region is where the tissue undergoes permanent deformation. Mechanical failure represents the point at which the tissue ruptures or breaks.
