What are the characteristics of viscoelasticity, and which of the following tissues exhibits viscoelasticity: ligaments, tendons, hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, or bone?
What will be an ideal response?
ANS: Viscoelastic materials exhibit elasticity (ability to deform and return to its original shape
immediately) and viscosity (ability to resist shear). Viscosity gives the tissues time and
rate-dependent properties; that is, the deformation response of the tissue varies according to the
duration of load and the rate of load. Each of the tissues listed above is viscoelastic.
