Abstract
Currently presented work has been done in the wake of the research pertinent to the possible correlation between separation and stagnation regions and the atherosclerotic lesions (Rodkiewicz, 1975). This study involved the experinental localization of the early atherosclerotic lesions in rabbits. In view of the experimental evidence it has been postulated that the atherosclerotic formations of the aortic arch of the rabbit commence and develop at the locations where separation and stagnation may be expected. As the consequence of the geometry, flow and functional similarity, it was assumed that the atherosclerotic formations within the aortic arch of the human will begin and develop at similar locations.
