Vessel	$R_1$	$C$	$R_2$
Descending aorta	$1.052\times {10}^2$	$9.995\times {10}^{-4}$	$1.650\times {10}^3$
Right subclavian	$4.506\times {10}^3$	$3.963\times {10}^{-5}$	$4.162\times {10}^4$
Left subclavian	$4.922\times {10}^3$	$3.673\times {10}^{-5}$	$4.491\times {10}^4$
Right internal carotid	$7.868\times {10}^3$	$2.454\times {10}^{-5}$	$6.722\times {10}^4$
Left internal carotid	$8.481\times {10}^3$	$2.310\times {10}^{-5}$	$7.141\times {10}^4$
Right external carotid	$1.898\times {10}^4$	$1.161\times {10}^{-5}$	$1.421\times {10}^5$
Left external carotid	$1.739\times {10}^4$	$1.251\times {10}^{-5}$	$1.318\times {10}^5$

The units of the resistances $R$ are dynes $\text{s}{\text{cm}}^{-5}$. The units of the inductances L are dynes ${\text{s}}^2{\text{cm}}^{-5}$. The units of the compliance $C$ are ${\text{cm}}^5{\text{dynes}}^{-1}$. The units of the unstressed volumes $V_{\mathrm{u}}$ are ${\text{cm}}^3$
