Basic science model of blood as an electron-delivery circuit
If you have an interest in human biology, then in taking this course, you will gain an insight into a bio-physical model that maps evolution of the human circulation and that you can use for your own further observation and discovery
This course addresses evolution of the clrculation from fish to man through the physics of the redoxing blood circuit.
There are 21 lectures, split into four sections. Each lecture is only a few minutes long, the entire course less than 60 minutes. It can be taken in one sitting or at your own pace.
In the course, animated and physical models are used to demonstrate key mechanisms in the translation of form and these can be easily reproduced after the course if desired
In the first section, the circulations of blood in humans and fish are represented as double and single-looped polar-switching electron delivery circuits
In section two, we see how an oxygenated shunt in the single-looped circuit of fish sets up a loop-in-loop, reptilian transition to a double-looped human circuit
In section three, a polar co-ordinate algorithm that describes the loop-in-loop relationship of the adaptive, closed circulation model is described
In the final section, we review how this geometric model tracks embryological, anatomical and evolutionary form, from fish to man, and what drives the change.
There are some details in the latter part of the course for those with knowledge of human embryology and anatomy. This level of knowledge is not a pre-requisite for taking this course or understanding its general content, but it does serve to validate the bio-physical model.
