Models of the Arterial System

Any attempt to effectively visualize a functional relation is a model. Models are abstractions of the reality which, in their structure, can have different degrees of agreement with the reality. It is often erroneously assumed that, with increasing complexity or with increasing computational effort, the quality of a model can be increased. In this study, some aspects of the yet unsolved problem of criteria for the choice of one or the other specific model will be discussed.
