Pulsatile blood flow, shear force, energy dissipation and Murray's Law

PR Painter, P Edén, HU Bengtsson - Theoretical Biology and Medical …, 2006 - Springer
Abstract Background Murray's Law states that, when a parent blood vessel branches into

Branching morphology of the rat hepatic portal vein tree: a micro-CT study

JO Den Buijs, Ž Bajzer, EL Ritman - Annals of biomedical engineering, 2006 - Springer
In contrast to the lung and the myocardium, the liver is a relatively homogeneous organ with
fewer anatomic constraints on vascular branching. Hence, we hypothesize that the hepatic …

Scale dependence of branching in arterial and bronchial trees
