Modern aspects of vascular biology in terms of structure andfunction are then described, followed by the introduction of physicalprinciples and basic fluid mechanics for quantitative analysis. Thehemodynamics of large arteries, the optimal structure of vascularbranching and the pulsatile energy transmission and modeling aspectsare elaborated. These are extended to analyze the function of thevenous system and the microcirculation. Finally, the integratedv.
