Key result
Measured arterial branching angles and diameters generally supported theoretical optimality principles for fluid-conducting efficiency, though some values were decidedly lower than predicted.

Supports optimality principles in arterial geometry; leaves open whether deviations influence clinical hemodynamics or warrant model adjustments.
Observational
The study provides empirical support for theoretical optimality principles governing arterial branching geometry in the cardiovascular system.
Zamir et al. (1982) reported an observational. Arterial branching angles and diameters vs. Theoretical optimum values was evaluated on Branching angles and branch diameters compared to theoretical optimum values. Measured arterial branching angles and diameters generally supported theoretical optimality principles for fluid-conducting efficiency, though some values were decidedly lower than predicted.
