This book presents a new method for analyzing the structure and
function of the biological branching systems of fractal trees, with
a focus on microcirculation. Branching systems in humans (vascular
and bronchial trees) and those in the natural world (plants, trees,
and rivers) are characterized by a fractal nature. To date, fractal
studies have tended to concentrate on fractal dimensions, which
quantify the complexity of objects, but the applications for
practical use have remained largely unexplored. This book breaks
new ground with topics that include the human retinal
microcirculatory network, oxygen consumption by vascular walls, the
F hraeus-Lindqvist effect, the bifurcation exponent, and the
asymmetrical microvascular network. Readers are provided with
simple formulas to express functions and a simulation graph with in
vivo data. The book also discusses the mechanisms regulating blood
flow and pressure and how they are related to pathological changes
in the human body. Researchers and clinicians alike will find
valuable new insights in these pioneering studies.
