Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how blood circulates in the capillaries of animals, focusing especially on the movement of fluids in the smallest blood vessels. At the time of writing, the prevailing wisdom was that the pumping action of the heart was the driving force behind blood circulation throughout the body. However, the author argues that while the heart does impact the flow of blood in the larger vessels, it is the rhythmic contractions of the capillary vessels themselves that move blood through their own networks. By challenging the commonly held ideas of the day, the author provides insights on how blood moves throughout the body and provides a fuller understanding of the body's physiology.
