Arterial mechanics considering the structural, mechanical, and biochemical contributions of elastin
Elastin provides many tissues with remarkable resilience and longevity. In elastic arteries such as aorta, elasticity is crucial for energy storage and transmission of the pulsatile blood flow. Human aorta is comprised of approximately 47% elastic fibers and undergoes several billion stretch cycles...
