Abstract
What mathematical or physiological principles govern the radii of blood vessels in the cardiovascular system and by what mechanisms are these principles implemented? This question is studied in the contexts of fluid dynamics and physiology of the human and dog cardiovascular system, and a possible answer is examined in the light of empirical data.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
