Abstract
The systemic arterial tree is a branching network of tubes which accepts pulsatile flow from the left ventricle and passes this on, in an almost steady stream, into the arterioles. The details of function and of arterial structure are complex. The complexity of the circulatory system, in particular the interpretation of the pressure-flow relationships in the arterial trees, have promoted an impressively thorough theoretical and experimental analysis. Elegant reviews with extensive references have been provided by Noordergraaf (1978), Milnor (1982) and O’Rourke (1982).
