Table 2.

Initial mass fractions of each of the three structurally significant constituents within the three-layered model. Recall that the intima is defined from ri to rm, the media from rm to ra, and the adventitia from ra to ro.

Mass Fractions Intima Media Adventitia
Elastin 100% 4% 10%
Collagen 0% 25% 90%
SMC 0% 71% 0%
