Figure 6

The cross-section histological results of human, ovine, and porcine posterior CS sections in the circumferential direction. Human CS is thinner with less striated myocardial fibers (SMF) and exhibits a higher elastin/collagen contents than ovine and porcine CS in the intima layer. Black fibers - elastin, pink fibers - collagen, brown fibers - striated myocardial fibers. (x100 Magnification, bar length is 200 μm).
