Practice questions

1 of 50Practice questions for this set
In an experiment on skeletal muscle repair, researchers compared two grafts implanted into injured muscle: one containing aligned myofibers (multinucleated skeletal muscle cells) and another containing the same cells but randomly oriented. Both grafts were similarly vascularized. After 4 weeks, the aligned graft generated greater unidirectional force along the limb axis during stimulation. Force was measured with a tendon-attached transducer. Which statement best explains the role of tissue organization in the observed functional difference?
