Mathematical modeling, blood-materials

These are problem relative - there is a model for the blood system of a mammal and another for the nervous system, both abstracted from the body of the animal in question. To create an analytical model the anatomist must be able to observe the body of the animal in question as a concrete source of the abstract lay out of the various anatomical systems that can be represented in diagrams. Newton s model of the solar system as a system of perfect material spheres obeying Kepler s laws of motion and the inverse square law of gravitational attraction was derived by abstraction and ideahzation of observable fears of the actual solar system (Frigg 2010 251-268). Analytical models can be wholly pictorial as in anatomy or they can be abstract and partially mathematical as in the Newtonian cosmology.
