Mechanical thermosensitivity of the aortic wall is studied using transverse and longitudinal preparations. The major contribution of the connective tissue matrix to the heat-induced contraction is demonstrated. Transverse preparations develop greater tension than longitudinal preparations. A model with two active elements is proposed. Translated fromByulleten' Eksperimental'noi Biologii i Meditsiny, Vol. 123, No. 3, pp. 357–360, March, 1997 |
