Design of a Mechanical Model for Pulsatile Aortic Flow

The aorta travels down the body cavity from the heart and becomes the thoracic aorta. After passing the diaphragm, the thoracic aorta becomes the abdominal aorta, which then splits to form the iliac arteries. The abdominal aorta is responsible for the blood supply to the abdominal and pelvic organs and the muscles and tissue of the legs [16]. ................
