A mathematical representation for vessel networks II.
The topographical features of vessel networks can influence the red cell hematocrit, red cell spacing and flow pattern, either directly or indirectly at any level from arteriole to venules. In this article, we continue to treat the mathematical representation for vessel networks. We have treated a vessel segment as a vector quantity and applied this representation to central artery of the gyrus in human brain. The flow mechanism of arteriolar arcades in the bat wing is discussed in this article.
