You have performed pressure-stretch tests on normotensive and hypertensive vessels, as shown below. For this question, assume you stopped your tests when the vessel reached a radiuus of 0.55 mm, as marked by the red line. What is the Pressure Strain modulus for each type of vessel under the control tone condition? b) What is the pressure strain modulus for each type of vessel when the vascular smooth muscle cells are maximally contracted using norepinephrine? c) Explain how the hypertensive vessels compare to normotensive. What phenomenon in the vessel wall is responsible for this difference?
