Abstract
A criterion of the optimal structure of muscle arterial network consisting in the minimization of its hydraulic resistance is proposed. Application of this criterion allows one to determine the relationship between the mean values of diameters of vessels of different "orders of branching". Dependence of hydraulic resistance, volumes, blood-flow velocity and pressure in vessels of various calibres on the number of the "order of branching" was established. Rough quantitative estimates are given for the potential increase in the bloodflow of the working muscle as compared to the resting one.
