    Make sure to unfold and wring out your heart after each breakup, to keep the creases from setting in too much.

    I wonder if a heart could still beat/function when it’s unrolled in this way 🤔

      It depends on how fresh the kill it is.

      I was wondering something similar. Maybe this is an innovative approach to heart surgery.

        Yes, in the way that Mengele was innovative in the medical field.

      No. It needs to squeeze against itself to move blood to and from chambers.

        Could it not just sorta flex the tube? Like couldn’t one part of the tube pull on or press off of the next?

          No. This diagram doesn’t show how they got the heart to unravel like that. There’s a layer or wrapping around the heart and internal connective tissues that holds the heart in its traditional state. I’d imagine if the got the muscles of a unrolled heart to contract it would just fold or bind at points. But definitely wouldn’t pump anything.

          As someone who flexes the tube very often, I would guess that the heart would start pumping unwanted fluids

    For a total eclipse of the heart you would need a moon shaped like a big hambone.

    Not that I want to unroll it, but why did it “roll” up in the first place? It seems so tightly wound compared to, like, the intestines or something. Just curious.

        And maybe to share muscle power between different phases of the stroke. Two muscles that evolved to pump different chambers could both work on the same chamber when they’re folded over one another. Allow them to transfer force between the layers.

      That’s even better. Two blood vessels that fuse and twist.

        Why did they name the left and right atrium backwards? That seems unnecessarily confusing.

          It’s only backwards because you’re looking at it from the outside from the front. When it’s in you, the left is on your left.
