Optimal systems: II. The vascular system

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

An approach to quantitative work on optimal systems is considered. Desired optimal principles are utilized in constructing a hypothetical system similar to the organ system considered. A comparison of this constructed system with the anatomical system then gives an indication of the importance of the optimal principles in the form or function of the organ system considered.
