Dynamics of the Vascular System; Contents; Preface; 1. Historical Backgrounds and Book Contents; 1.1 Discoveries of the Circulation; 1.2 Importance of the Vascular System; 1.3 Modern Concepts; 1.4 Book Contents; 2. Vascular Biology, Structure and Function; 2.1 Anatomical Organization of the Vasculature; 2.2 Mechanical Properties of Blood Vessels; 2.3 Functional Properties of Blood; 2.4 Control Aspects of the Vascular System; 3. Physical Concepts and Basic Fluid Mechanics; 3.1 Basic Mechanics and Dimensional Analysis; 3.2 Frequency Domain and Fourier Analysis; 3.3 Fluid Mechanics and Rheology.
Summary: This book begins with the historical discoveries of the features ofthe vascular system and its importance in the overall circulatoryfunction. 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.
