Centripedal forces and the calf muscle pump

[Gerrard Farrell]

Hi Adam ,

The site moderator suggested that a physiologist might be able to help progress the thread further , so I was happy to see that some else had responded who might indeed be a physiologist or have the relevant expertise to assist .

However , you seem to have dismissed the main thrust of the thread to pursue material which , for this thread , is largely off topic .

Could we bring things back to foot pumps, calf pumps and when required to explain things , bottles of sauce .

I would be delighted to hear what you think about the centrifugal effect and venous return . I believe the subject is important but seems to be largely unexplored .

Gerry

PS Is the study of the mechanics of the cardiovascular system not biomechanics ?
