1. branching patterns that resemble the structure of a tree, especially in biological or anatomical contexts
Usage: medical; biological
2. the branching extensions of nerve cells or blood vessels
Usage: anatomy; neuroscience

Examples

• The neuroscientist studied the complex arborizations of the brain’s neurons.
• Blood vessel arborizations were clearly visible in the microscopic images.
• The arborizations of the nerve cells formed intricate patterns throughout the tissue.
• Researchers mapped the arborizations of dendrites in the cerebral cortex.
• The pathologist noted abnormal arborizations in the lung tissue sample.
• These arborizations help distribute nutrients efficiently throughout the organ.
