Many models have been developed to explore one aspect or another of the circulation of blood. The early models, when judged by today's standards, are rather elementary; in those days model building was constrained by limited computing power. More recently, the availability of power ful digital computers has encouraged the development of models of greater depth and breadth. This paper traces the progression from simple to complex, specific to general.
