Summary
Longitudinal retraction of carotid arteries, was examined in 105 neonatal puppies as a measure of longitudinal traction. Percent vessel retraction increased linearly with age. This was attributed to stretching of the vessels by growth and to changes in connective tissue composition. The mechanical significance of artery retraction was discussed.
