a. Elasticity is the ability of tissues to return to their original shape after being deformed. Plasticity is deformation of tissues beyond their elastic limit, which results in irreversible changes.
b. Elasticity is the inability of tissues to return to their original shape after being deformed. Plasticity is deformation of tissues beyond their elastic limit, which results in irreversible changes.
c. Elasticity is the ability of tissues to return to their original shape after being deformed. Plasticity is deformation of tissues beyond their elastic limit, which results in reversible changes.
