The heart is widely acknowledged as the unique driver of blood circulation. Recently, we discovered a flow-driving mechanism that can operate without imposed pressure, using infrared (IR) energy to propel flow. We considered the possibility that, by exploiting this mechanism, blood vessels, themselves, could propel flow. We verified the existence of this driving mechanism by using a three-day-old chick-embryo model. When the heart was stopped, blood continued to flow for approximately 50 minutes, albeit at a lower velocity. When IR was introduced, the postmortem flow increased from ~41.1 ± 25.6 μm/s to ~153.0 ± 59.5 μm/s (n = 6). When IR energy was diminished under otherwise physiological conditions, blood failed to flow. Hence, this IR-dependent, vessel-based flow-driving mechanism may indeed operate in the circulatory system, complementing the action of the heart.
It is absolutely fascinating to learn how weak electric fields can influence the structural properties of water, as these scientific breakthroughs truly change how we view the natural world! I have been trying to delve deeper into these physics experiments lately, but balancing my curiosity for the sciences with the complex pedagogical theories and curriculum standards of my teaching modules has been quite a challenge. I actually sought out some education assignment help in UK recently just to stay on top of my academic reports while I took the time to explore these incredible discoveries.
This is FASCINATING!!! And this further exemplifies that the heart is not a pump, as further explained here: https://learninggnm.com/SBS/documents/i_heart.html
