Portuguese term or phrase: Célula larga e cilíndrica
"...a fibra muscular, uma célula larga e cilíndrica, multinucleada.."

Gaa. I'm starting to hate this writer. Parece simples, mas o meu problema e que se traduzo "larga" para "wide" or "broad" o texto fica incorrecto, pois estas celulas sao LONGAS e cilindricas, bastante longas ate'. Poderia traduzir para "large", sem assassinar o Portugues, ou estou a modificar demais???

Obrigada mais uma vez, prometo que e' a ultima por hoje...

Explanation:
this way you do not specify whether you give precedence to width or length; it might well have been written by someone who was thinking in English anyway
