Figure Lengend Snippet: (left) Vessels mounted within the biaxial testing device at λ z = 1.5 and P = 100 mmHg. (a) Bovine: OD = 8.82 mm, (b) porcine: OD = 4.96 mm, (c) ovine: OD = 5.49 mm, (d) leporine: OD = 2.60 mm, (e) murine-rat: OD = 1.14, and (f) murine-mouse: OD = 0.65 mm vessels shown. Scale bars are 1 mm. (right) Unloaded ring sectors of each vessel with 1 mm ruler.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Circumferential stress, (b) circumferential stretch, and (c) axial stress for bovine, porcine, ovine, leporine, murine-rat, and murine-mouse carotid arteries at 1.5 axial stretch ratio. Figure (d) illustrates the minimal axial stretch ratio to maintain vessels in tension at 100 mmHg. All values are mean ± STD. (*) denotes statistical significance at p ≤ 0.05 between the leftmost group and the corresponding hash-mark.
