Abstract: Symmetrical and asymmetrical tree—like structures of arterial systems have been the central point of experimental and theoretical investigation. Blood vessel models have been generated according to morphology and structural properties, such as segment radii and lengths, branching angle and their relation to segment diameter. Tree generation is performed by successively adding segments, straight cylindrical tubes, so that certain structural and geometrical constraints are fulfilled at each stage of construction.
