Values are means ± SD (in °); numbers in parentheses are numbers of measurements made. Shown are the averages and SDs for each group of bifurcations determined by the radius of the parent vessel segment and the daughter vessel segment. The number of measurements made for each order is the same as those shown in Table 2.
