*The loading of the ventricular aspect is tensile and the valsalva side compressive. Thus, it makes sense that the tissue on the ventricular aspect is good in tensile loading and the tissue on the valsalva side good in compression. The elastic tissue can be thought of as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar rebar]... the collagen as concrete. | *The loading of the ventricular aspect is tensile and the valsalva side compressive.
