Cross sectional area vs. time. The cross sectional area increases exponentially and converges toward a homeostatic equilibrium, which depends on the applied overload. Increasing or decreasing the overload, shown in blue and green, increases or decreases the cross sectional area. Modeled cross sectional areas, shown as black dashed line, predict experimentally measured cross sectional areas, shown as red circles [201].
