A Lamellar Unit of Aortic Medial Structure and Function in Mammals
Abstract
The close association of elastin, collagen, and smooth muscle in the mammalian aortic media results in viscoelastic properties that account for many of its static and dynamic mechanical features. The structural components of the media are precisely oriented in concentric layers, or lamellar units, of fairly uniform composition. A comparative study of the adult thoracic aorta in 10 mammalian species, including 15 canine breeds, showed that the number of lamellar units in the media of adult mammalian aortas is very nearly proportional to aortic radius regardless of species or variations in measured wall thickness. Estimated wall tensions ranged from 7,820 dynes/cm in a 28-g mouse to 203,000 dynes/cm in a 200,000-g sow, but the average tension per lamellar unit of an aortic media was remarkably constant regardless of species, ranging from 1,090 to 3,010 dynes/cm. The findings suggest that the elastin lamella and the contents of its adjacent interlamellar zone represent the unit of structure and function of the mammalian aortic wall.

“Peterson and his co-workers (22, 23) have argued that the thickness of the aortic wall should not be ignored in estimating its modulus of elasticity and that tension per unit of wall thickness is physiologically more meaningful than total wall tension.”

“The number of concentric lamellae layers in the media remains constant with age but scales with arterial radius and vessel wall tensional strength (Wolinsky and Glagov, 1967).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
