(a) Transmission Line schematic illustrating each vessel segment’s location and connection to other segments, representing an adult male. Numbers correspond to vessel names and data compiled in Table S1. Segments not labeled are reflected duplicates from the opposite side of the system. Ends of the transmission line are terminated by the Windkessel model, see Table S2. (b) The aorta is broken up into sub-segments. The schematic also illustrates the locations at which the system branches into further subtrees.
