The article presents the up to date review and discussion of approaches used to express mechanical behavior of artery walls. The physiology of artery walls and its relation to the models is discussed. Presented models include the simplest 0d and 1d ones but emphasis is put to the most sophisticated approaches which are based on the theory of 3d nonlinear elasticity. Also the alternative approach which consists in simple delinearization of the Koiter shell equations is presented.
