Abstract: The issue of the optimal (from the viewpoint of strength) structure of blood vessels of a living organism is considered. It is shown that the angle of packing of muscular fibers in vessels is optimal in terms of strength of arteries.

Keywords: blood vessels, reinforced vessels, shell, composite, viscosity-elasticity, deformation.
