AB An accretion dalliance is accorded by biotechnology, in general, and biomaterials, in particular, in determining the mechanical properties of different biological tissues comprising or composing the living creatures' bodies. Their microscopic and macroscopic structures are complex and mechanical tests can be of a major in studying their mechanical properties [1] [2] [3].During operation, any blood circulation system is subject to an alternating blood pressure and the constituent organs behave differently. Amongst the rudimentary mechanical tests to characterize thoracic and abdominal arteries, and soft tissues as well - vital components of the blood circulatory system - we find the traction test.This work focuses on the characterization of thoracic and abdominal arteries, located on the same trunk of a sheep, precisely determining Young's modulus, elasticity constraints, and deformations and break strain.
