Segments of the 45 human thoracic and 20 abdominal aortas, including 13 pairs, aged 30-88 yr at autopsy, were perfused with 37.degree. C Tyrode''s solution at in-situ length. Diameter changes due to 20 mm Hg pressure steps, between 20-180 mm Hg, were measured to 1 .mu.m accuracy with balanced transducers. Absolute diameter at 100 mm Hg was measured to 50 .mu.m accuracy. At 100 mm Hg, cross-sectional area [A] ranged from 2.6-7.6 for thoracic and from 1.0-3.2 cm2 for abdominal segments. Compliances ranged from 1.9-17 for thoracic and from 0.6-4.4 mm3/mm Hg .cntdot. cm for abdominal segments. An arctangent model with 3 free parameters A(p) = Am (1/2 + tan-1 ((p-po)/p1).pi.) [where Am is the maximal area, p the transmural pressure, po the maximum aortic compliance/cm pressure and pi the half-width pressure] explained over 99% of the variance in area with pressure for each aorta. Changes in compliance, characteristic impedance and propagation velocity are equally well described. Abdominal fits on the average appeared down scaled by a factor of 2 and shifted 20 mm Hg towards lower pressures from paired thoracic (significant at P = 0.001).
