--dis-information( reverse effectiveness)--

   i was thinking about an old "intel-situation" last night at work, what was done about it, and the effectiveness of our fore-fathers( despite having "lower-tech" tools, by modern standards)--

 here goes...



   the "carrier pigeon"...there aren't any, what's the deal there??, where did they go, and why...the answer is oblivion, and the reason is more complex, someone learned to tie a note to one, and then release/send it, to a known position, where other friendly troops could utilize the "intel"...

  i suggest, that not long after the tactic was discovered by the opposing forces, that the counter-maneuver, of catching one, and changing the note being sent, with a bogus one, became popular...with everybody, creating a serious dislike for them by the troops( due to the results of bad "intel", being that troops would be lead/sent into an ambush, generating large numbers of needless casualties)...hence, the next super-popular past-time of the era, likely having become the shooting of anything that looked even remotely like a "carrier pigeon"...and they shot them all...with muskets...incredible, the power of dis-information was so much more effective than good "intel", that both sides declared "all-out war" on a species of bird, and it's gone...the civil war was a while ago, and there still isn't a single one running around...i can hardly believe the current reality that they could do it, but they have--

  summary--

    i feel that having good communications during battle, negotiations, or "super-spy stuff", is a game changer...in the civil war, the amount of information that could be printed on a scrap of paper( one small enough for a little bird to fly with), was enough to kill 10,000 men( astonishing), in today's modern world, the volume of "intel" that can be sent is more than a "pterodactylus"( a huge pre-historic bird) could carry...so, we may be wise to be wary( or rid of), communication mediums with too much ease of manipulation, by others...for me...if my G.P.S. says "take the bridge", i still look out the car's window, to see if it's out, before crossing-- 

        --i love technology, when it suits me, and i "un-plug it" when it becomes something to worry about...the decision is a personal one, for all mankind to ponder--

--angina( pre-heart failure symptoms)--

  it looks like i need to remove the facebook stuff, and re-type it...i am unable to edit it, at all, bummer--

    anyway...here goes, about the issue-- 

 angina( pre-heart failure systems)--

   i suggest, that "angina" is a condition produced by a blockage, of the flow from the "thymus gland", to the "thyroid", where i feel that "lactic acid" is processed, and released as digestive "enzymes"...if the heart is working too hard, produces too much "lactic acid" for the "thymus" to absorb, or, more than it can send to the "thymus", i believe that the "thymus", may "rupture", into the "thoracic cavity", as an "emergency-release tactic"...causing the "pectoral muscle", nearest the rupture, to absorb the excess "lactic acid", and then attempt to send it to the gland, within the "arm-pit", on that side of the body, normally meant for lubricating/maintaining the joint, where it can not release all of the pressure, fast enough, resulting in a "back-flow", of "lactic acid", down the arm, into the tissues there, resulting in extreme pain, from the valves within the tubes, being forced to move fluid, the wrong direction...and those tissues, from being forced to absorb "lactic acid"...it might be possible for either the artery, or the vein, within the "thymus gland", to be forced to flow in the reverse direction( an artery/pressure tube), or to flow too much( a vein/a suction tube), but i feel that the probability of issues from the tubes, leading to the "thyroid", or to the "thymus", rupturing...or the "thymus" itself rupturing, as well as the back-flow of "lactic acid" from the "thymus", going into the "lymph nodes" of the nearest arm, to be the real situation, "in-play", during an "angina" attack...

  i hope this concept is proven to be "sound thinking", and is of some use for the medical community--

 best wishes, john kruschke...

--the thyroid--

 

  i had some thoughts about the "thyroid" today...here goes--

John Kruschke

4 minutes ago

the "thyroid"--

   most of this one is in the "thymus gland" post, but i am going to do a separate one anyway...more later, out of time at the library-- :o)

i'm back...more fun with the "thyroid", ha-ha...i have you now...

   so, i am unable to post pictures right now( use your imagination)...the key to these systems, seems to be locating the reason for movement of fluids, either a push from something, or a pull of vacuum...in this case, i feel that we have both going on( but mostly vacuum)...finding the vacuum pump, is the trick, and i believe that the "adam's apple", in the throat, is the vacuum pump that pulls the refined "by-product", of the "thyroid", from it's interior( where i suggest a controlled infection is ongoing, that reconstitutes the material, it draws from the "thymus gland", that originates from "lactic acid" build-up, in the heart)...amazing, each time that you swallow, you are re-filling the stomach, with fresh enzymes, that originate from the "thyroid gland"( in my opinion)...if i am correct, this little gland does a-lot, a whole-lot, for the body...this also would indicate that survival without one, is not possible, or at least veery unlikely( as you would need a way to add digestive "enzymes", to the stomach, without the "thyroid" doing it)...probably not--

   i will post some photos soon, edit this post a bit, and then move it to my blog, before finally adding the material to my up-coming book, "digital doodles and mind-farts"...some folks may feel i broke some "mental-wind" the other day, on my blog, with the penguin post, but, i was working on the exact math at that point, and was merely getting "the skinny" down on "digital-paper", so i could work on it later( the completed calc, is in the post now, and i will edit my blog some more, in a few days)...

note...

   i feel that the four little dimples in one of the photos, are the "out-puts" of the "thyroid"..where the gland breaks, and "re-heals", after each swallow...also, one of the photos shows the connection for "by-product" to flow, from the "thymus", to the "thyroid", to be further refined, and then excreted--

--the lymph system--

   i had some thoughts about the "lymph system"...here they are, for everyone's inspection--
  

John Kruschke

23 hours ago

the lymph system--

a "flash-in-the-pan"...

   it occurred to me, just now, that the "lymph system" operates similar to the "thymus gland"...i had initially not grasped where the material flowing into the bodies "lymph glands" was coming from, and of what use these "by-products" were, to the body( i believe all glands function in this way...where a "by-product" is being re-constituted, by the gland, into a usable "by-product", to do something beneficial in the body, via a controlled infection, within the gland)...after much thought, i realized that the build-up of "lactic acid", in all of the bodies muscles, must be removed, in some manner...and then i had it...the "lymph system"  is, in my opinion, a flow-age of "lactic acid", to a gland, that has a positive pressure "input artery", from the heart, that is tiny...yet extends into the gland, to a point( or cone-shape), increasing the pressure, at the tip, where red-blood cells are "forced through" the end, and are "trapped" there, within the gland...to act on the "lactic acid" within, changing it's make-up, into a usable "by-product", that the body may utilize...to produce, and maintain, cartilage, within the bodies joints...i feel that some "nodes", may merely absorb "lactic acid", reconstitute it, and then "fire" it, into an exit-tube, that sends the contents on to the next gland...so, at each joint of the body, i suggest there is a "lymph gland", that has a little "node", that does not go to a tube...i believe this "node", is the means that the body has, to lubricate the joints, and rebuild cartilage there...also of note, i feel that compression from muscles, upon the gland, within the joint, may also cause "firing" of the gland, into the joint, through the "node" on the gland...the resulting "cracking sound", may actually be audible, when the gland releases it's rebuilding/lubricating contents, into the joint-area...

--the thymus gland--

     

i had some thoughts about the workings of the heart today, here goes-- 

John Kruschke

Yesterday

the "thymus gland"--

   this gland sits atop the heart...i have a feeling that the purpose may be related to the heart, and the build-up of "lactic acid", from heavy exercise...here we have a muscle that gets worked constantly, under varying amounts of strain, and it can not stop, ever...so, i suggest, that the "thymus", removes "lactic acid", that builds-up on the top-side of the heart's chambers, while pumping blood( i believe that the "lactic acid" floats to the top of the hearts cavities), where the "thymus" is located( due to it's lighter "specific gravity")...once in the "thymus", i feel that the gland may "rupture", into a controlled space, or tube, leading to another gland, that processes this "lactic acid", derived from muscle fatigue, in the heart, for another purpose...the "thyroid"???...this would make sense to me, as the "by-product" of the controlled infection, i feel is ongoing, in all glands, would be a fluid with a lighter "specific gravity", that floats to the top of the gland, and once the gland is over-pressurized, would likely "fire", or push it's contents, into the "thyroid gland"...where it may be subject to more refinements, via a controlled infection, and finally, is expelled into the throat...aiding in digestion, or, in fact being the source, of all of the stomach's "enzymes", to digest food...a constant, slow stream of "enzymes", that not only coats the throat, but continuously fills the stomach, as it empties it's contents into the gut, to be digested...i will post about the "thyroid" another time...i believe i have my "foot-in-the-door" on this one--

--the pancreus--

  

 i had an epiphany about the "pancreas", here goes...

John Kruschke

January 3 · Edited

the "pancreas"--

   i feel that this system has it's heart in a little thing some car-guys know about...the "venturi-effect", the photos below show, very well( particularly the "biliary tree" photo), that the first tube is generating vacuum above the lower tube, attached to the intestinal walls...this pulls "bile" from the excretion tube of the liver, and the "gall-bladder" bulb, into the "pancreas", where an infection likely ensues, converting the excretion, into a different substance, that is then re-injected, into the digestive system, for some beneficial reason...the suction of the "bile duct", from the "gall bladder", and liver, "firing", or rupturing, into the intestines, should also create a vacuum in that duct, that sucks the contents of the "pancreas", into the intestines, along with the "bile" from the liver, and the "gall bladder"...as for the function of the "gall badder", i am guessing that excretions from the liver remain in the tube, before being "fired" out of it, for quite some time, causing the contents within the tube to begin to "separate", allowing the lighter material to rise to the top of the tube again, and collect in the bulb of the "gall bladder"...where an infection begins, that is on-going...releasing it's contents, only when an over-pressure situation is reached, and it "fires"...the "systic duct",  of the "gall bladder", also gives clues that this hypothesis is good, the tube squiggles from right, to left, allowing material that is lighter, to rise into it, and once inside, the fluids are hard to expel, as the corners anything must turn, to get in, or out, act like a "self", supporting the fluids weight, and impeding flow( due to the center of the tube being blocked, from flowing "straight-through" the duct, to the intestines, and "pancreas")...i suggest, that the "pancreas" has an input vein, from the heart, to keep it alive( see photo below), or to deposit material, within the "pancreas", from the incoming positive blood-flow, of the heart's "left ventricle"...this positive pressure, likely aids the  "pancreas's" little "tubular-vacuum-bio-pump", "in-play", at the connection to the intestines...as well as allowing the bodies immune system to send anti-bodies, to the "pancreas", to create the needed "systemic infection",  that i believe refines the expulsions of the liver, and "gall bladder"--

note--

   the movement of stool, past the two holes, leading to the tubes of the "pancreas", and the liver/"gall bladder", within the intestines, might also create some vacuum, to draw material, from the tubes...similar to the "idle-ports" in a carburetor's vacuum system( a "venturi effect")--

the skinny--

  the liver...the veins all come to a taper, or point, similar to the kidneys, that i suggest are designed to trap the matter being filtered out, inside the liver, that then generates an infection, that pushes the resulting matter out, down a tube, that leads to the place where the body utilizes the resulting excretions, for a specific purpose...more later, out of time at the library--

The kidneys...( i was posting from my phone last night, lets see if i can explain my thoughts about this better today, on a library computer...)--

  Here goes, it looks like a vein from the heart feeds the kidneys with blood( at a positive pressure, of 4.246 psi, from the "left ventricle")...i suggest, that this blood has/contains impurities, and bacteria within it...these bacteria, are then filtered out, by size, like in the "alveoli" of the lungs...explaining very well, why the vein/veins going in, taper to a point, as seen in the lungs...generating more psi, to force the bacteria, and any particles, through the end of the vein, but not allowing any to "back-flow", out of the kidney, trapping them inside the organ...the resulting controlled infection( a "systemic" one, as seen in the "inner ear"), produces ammonia( as a "by-product"), to be expelled from the kidneys, as well as "insulin", that rises to the top of the organ, to be stored, within the "adrenal gland"( this glad, and all glands within the body, are, in my opinion, an area for "by-products" to collect, and a beneficial/controlled infection, to be present...who's "by-product", is used for the body's benefit/maintenance)...also, as seen in lung function, the fresh blood from the heart's "left ventricle", is there to keep the kidneys hydrated, with blood, to maintain healthy kidney tissues...adding blood to the organ, in a type of "sponge principal"...where the "left ventricle" of the heart, hydrates the organ with blood, at a positive pressure( 4.246), and the "right ventricle' of the heart, pulls it away, at a negative pressure( -3.00 to -3.497 psi), or "suction"....as for the "adrenal glands", located on top of the kidneys, i again suggest, that the "specific gravity" of the "by-products", determine the outputs of the organ...i contend that the "urine by-product" is heaviest, and descends...and that the "adrenaline/post adrenaline matter", is lightest...floating to the top of the organ, collecting for direct-release, or more likely, being collected in a gland, where another different type of infection process,  is ongoing...with the "by-product" being "insulin", in the case of kidney function...i theorize, that this "insulin" is released, after the gland over-pressurizes, and bursts, in a controlled location, on the gland...into a tube...that leads to where the "by-product" is utilized by the body, as needed...i strongly suspect, that this system is present in all of the bodies internal organs, where blood flows through the organ, and hydrates it, with blood, in a "one-way" type of tapered vein, while blood is simultaneously being removed, by the sustained negative pressure/suction, of the "right ventricle"( i also suggest, that the return veins from the organ, are also tapered, to prevent particles from escaping, back into the bodies blood stream)...in the case of the "adrenal gland", and all of the glands within the body, i feel that the gland is an area for a "controlled infection", where deposits are filtered out of the bloodstream, in a particular area of the body, where they naturally collect, from being forced through a filter, by size, and are then broken down, into a specific, needed, "by-product"...that is released when the gland over-pressurizes, and bursts, like a balloon, with the aforementioned, purpose-built weak-spot, that heals, shortly after bursting...over, and over again...working as a "pressure regulator", for the needed "by-product" of the gland...a muscle contracting, and squeezing the gland, might also be a way in which it "fires", and releases it's contents...if you examine the photos in this post, you will see the "by-product" from the "adrenal glands", dumping into a tube, leading to the suction/negative-pressure return vein, which goes to the "right ventricle" of the heart...as for speculation about the reason kidneys cease to function, i would guess that blockage of the holes within the "sponge", or "body" of the organ, blockage of the tubes from it, or the destruction of the needed infection, within the kidney, that breaks down the deposits, may be the most common causes of system failure...blockage of blood-flow, to, or from, the organ, would also cause a "shut-down"...what to do, is up to a physician, ask one...more later, out of time at the library--

The respiratory system--

I was thinking about the lungs today...here goes--

   i believe that the "aorta" supplies fresh blood to the lung tissue, keeping it soft, and from drying out, while being exposed to the drying-effects of the air inhaled during each respiration...working like a sponge, being constantly soaked with blood...at the same time, i feel that the "right ventricle" of the heart, is constantly sucking/evacuating the blood out of the lung tissue( that the "aorta" is supplying), into the heart, along with the many oxygen molecules from the air we breath, into the lungs...so, i suggest, that the negative pressure generated, from the "right ventricle" of the heart, is one of the main keys to this system...we all have sucked the juice out of an orange or two before( or most of us anyway), i feel this to be a good model of the phenomenon i am speculating on...if we view the orange we are sucking on( with the peel still on the wedge), with someone re-engorging the orange-wedge with fresh orange juice, as we are sucking on it, i theorize that the orange would remain juicy, to a value equal to the suction, and the pouring-in, of fresh juices( and there we have it, an equal model, of the blood-flow in the lungs, from the heart, and also the lungs hydration dynamics)...

   as for the "alveoli", i feel that the tree-structure of the "bronchi", goes into the lungs, and at the ends of each branch in the structure, there is an alveolus...where the negative pressure, or "suction", is present, from the "right ventricle" of the heart, we can also note, that the branches of the "bronchi" taper into a smaller and smaller point...possibly forcing the molecules within the air, to "get into a line", of sorts, and then generate increased pressure, from the compression of the tapering "bronchial" passages, leading to the "alveoli"...in my opinion, this action, in combination with the vacuum within the lungs tissues, from the "right ventricle", likely forces only certain sized molecules through the "alveoli", into the lungs tissues...to be carried away into the "right ventricle"...the "alveoli", in my estimation, may be like a golf-ball( a round object, with little dimples, and these dimples are only the right size for an oxygen molecule to fit, under pressure, from the taper of the bronchial tubes, and also the pull of the vacuum within the lung tissue, from the suction of the "right ventricle" of the heart...and there we have it, once more...a working, circular system...it can be noted, that the lungs tissues already have oxygenated blood in them, from the "aorta" of the heart, meant to keep the lung tissue alive, and pliable, but this oxygenated blood must be replenished, from the lungs molecular separating action, that the "right ventricle" then draws from the lungs tissue, to the heart, to recirculate through the system, once again--

the "alveoli"--

   the "alveoli" seem to be the same system used in a modern hydrogen separator, designed for modern cars, to allow them to run on hydrogen( i saw a tv special on it once..."discovery channel" is so cool)...anyway, i suggest that only the o2, and any other molecules, the same size as oxygen molecules, will fit through the structure of the lung's "alveoli", and the rest are expelled, on exhalation, by the force of the pressure in the lungs, equalizing, due to diaphragm expansion/contraction--

   molecularly viewed, the "alveoli" are tiny molecular-sifters, and the molecular composition of air, is as follows...nitrogen-( n2)??%, oxygen-( o2)78.9%, argon-(ar)0.93%, co2( c0)0.038%, and others...neon/helium/krypton/hydrogen/xenon-( i am not aware of their periodic table symbols, at present??)...these are less than 2%, of the total airs make-up--

   so, any molecule, the same size, or smaller, than an oxygen molecule, in the molecular composition of air...is absorbed, and the rest are expelled upon exhalation...representing the end of the cycle...this leads me to conclude, that the respiratory system works one way...things come in, from the negative pressure of the "diaphragm's" action, and are compressed, by the taper of the "bronchial passages", and are further pulled inward, by the draw of the "right ventricle", pulling blood from the lungs tissues...i believe that this push/pull, forces the molecules that will fit, past the "alveoli", and afterward, on exhalation, the remainder that would not pass through the "alveoli", are expelled...due to the lack of compression on exhalation, and the vacuum on the lung tissue side, of the "alveoli"( the heart-side)...this action, does not allow oxygen to "back-flow", into the "bronchial tubes"...making the "alveoli" a one-way molecular sifter--


   i have forgone "spell-check" in the interest of science here( i only have an hour at each library to work on this)...i will post this to my blog,  "digitaldoodlesandmind-farts.blogspot.com", very soon--

--heart ventricle-psi calc--

note-- 

   a volume modifier is needed to complete the calc..."radius x 2 x 360 x specific gravity = adjusted weight of fluids/volume"--

example( "left ventricle")--

.1 grams vein weight per mm x 3,000 mm vein length + adjusted fluid density( 2 mm radius x 2 x 360 x 1.060 specific gravity of blood) + 100 grams of weight/pressure applied to the exterior of the vein = total grams of pressure required, to keep the entire length of the vein expanded/open, and displays the pressure in the "ventricle" being studied( right/left)...then, calc to "psi"( grams x 0.00220462) = 4.246979968 "psi"  in "left ventricle"/"psi" in all veins from it--

calc complete...happy time-- :o) dancing is permitted depending on venue...

p.s. : i have taken the liberty of guessing wildly about the values/weights of the veins...actual weighing of 1 mm of vein, would give more precise values, also, the diameter of veins change in the body, so,  a mathematical average diameter, needs to be decided upon, to get good numbers...i will leave it to the medical community, to "chuck-it-up" a tad, and get nice figures...if perfected, i feel this calc might be able to determine overall vein restriction, based on expected results, from healthy subjects...perhaps??...the question remains, is this pressure value congruent with the value within the heart's "left ventricle"??, if close, but not exact, a modifier to increase numbers "laterally", may be needed( specific gravity x 100, is an example), i feel that the number is already extremely close though...if not spot on, and accounts for fluid viscosity, as well as exterior pressure-- 


conclusion--

   this little calc also leads me to conclude, that in the case of a head injury, and the swelling that results, causing hemorrhaging, or the death of the subject...the fatality is likely from the increased pressure within the "aorta", due to swelling within the brain( as pressure applied to the exterior of the brain's vein-structure, from swelling, also increases pressure numbers drastically ,within the "aorta")-- 


system failure--

   as for the common reason that the heart fails, due to high blood pressure/constricted arteries, i am going to hazard a guess that enlargement of the smaller, high pressure chamber, of the "left ventricle", is the primary cause of complete failure of the system...ask a "car-guy", compression is everything, increase the chamber volume in the heads, the slightest bit, and you're going slow...or stopping, depending on how much you increase the volume...restoring chamber size, and eliminating any flow restrictions in the system, is what works for cars...ask a doctor about repairs on people--


damn-the-spell-check( just do it)--

    for now, i have foregone "spell-check", in the interest of science...i am posting this to my blog "digitaldoodlesandmind-farts.blogspot.com/" very soon...and will workout "the little stuff", there--

 best wishes, john kruschke :o)


note--

   also...i feel that the value of pressure in the "right ventricle" is a negative number... - 3.47 from the draw of the "right ventricle", pulling the returning blood from the extremities...back to the heart, indicating that the return veins are self-supporting, or hard/stiff, to remain open under negative pressure...meaning, that the "right ventricle" basically converts negative pressure, to an equal positive pressure, in the "aorta", after the "right ventricle" contracts...

more later, my phones battery is low-- :o)

P.S. : i figure there are about 500mm of veins from the "aorta" to the head, so, if you adjust the calc for the "left ventricle" above, for the shorter length from the brain to the "aorta", you get the following gimbals... 


the math( "aorta")--

.1 grams of vein weight per mm x 500 mm vein length + adjusted fluid density( 2 mm radius x 2 x 360 x 1.060 specific gravity of blood) + 10 grams of weight/pressure applied to the exterior of the vein = total grams of pressure required, to keep the entire length of the vein expanded/open, and displays the pressure-value in the "right ventricle"/"aorta"( 1586.4 grams)...calc grams to psi( 1586.4 x 0.00220462) = 3.49740917 psi present in the "aorta", and the veins coming from it, to the head--

note #1--

   also of note...i believe that the lower pressure veins within the skull, have the added advantage of the bone of the skull, preventing direct pressure upon them...allowing the brains vein-structure to resist pressure increases, very well( due to the skull not compressing easily,  unlike the tissues in the arm...protecting the "right ventricle", and "aorta", from over-pressure damages( i feel that pressure on a vein, from the "source ventricle", or "aorta", will increase the pressure-value in the "ventricle"/"aorta", directly, in relation to the amount of pressure applied to the exterior surface of that ventricle's vein)--

note #2--

--( i believe that the "right ventricle", and the "aorta", should have nearly the same pressure...although a slight increase is likely, from the action of the "right ventricle" pumping into the "aorta", before being pumped into the smaller chambered "left ventricle", and becoming the highest pressure outlet of the heart)--


summary--

   so, the numbers may go, -3.00 psi in the "right ventricle", to +3.49740917 in the "aorta", to +4,246979968 in the "left ventricle"...or something close to that...i would seem that the heart is actually a suction pump, that converts to a positive pressure pump, with two separate pressure outlets, that have two different pressure values( the "aorta", and the "left ventricle")--

an epiphanny--

  to test these values, i believe that a simple large-bore syringe, with a small pressure gauge, epoxy'd to the side of it, that goes from -10 to 0, to +10 psi, might work.??..by simply gluing the gauge to the side of the syringe, a physician might be able to test pressures within the veins, from both the right, and "left ventricles"( i feel that they are the "carotid artery", and the "femoral artery", but i really have no clue there...a med student/doctor would need to figure that out)--     

best wishes, john kruschke :o)

--human heart fluid dynamics--

  

John Kruschke

December 29, 2013 · Edited

an update to my heart post-- 

 "human-heart operational fluid dynamics"...

  in this case( the human heart's operation), the standard "fluid dynamics" found in cars( one of my favorite places this concept is present), can not be deployed as a good model...i believe, that some variation from the automotive example must be made, to see the values "in-play", properly, when the heart pumps blood, as well as the needed pressures to do so...i contend, that the heart has two "pressure-chambers", and that it operates in two stages( as a two-stage pump), so, here goes...

  if we envision the veins in the body, and their difference from automotive brake lines, i feel we can see the issue displayed quite well...a car's brake lines, support themselves, and the veins within the body do not...and here is the variation from the automotive model, if we envision a garden hose, connected to the water-outlet valve, that is laid out in a straight line, from the valve, with an open end, if the hose is very soft, the hose will not raise up, and expand, until the water spigot is turned on, to generate enough internal pressure, within the hose...and i feel this to be the difference between the human bodies veins, and the fluid dynamics "in-play" for cars...i also suggest, that the longer this soft hose is, the more pressure that will be needed, to be delivered from the water-spout( the heart), to keep the inside of the hose expanded, if the end is open, or slightly open...so, i believe that we can then generate some rough numbers, with some new math, to get serious values, to demonstrate the concept...i suggest, that the weight of the vein, times the length of the vein, plus the weight of the "adjusted" fluid density/weight within, plus any weight bearing on the vein, from the outside of the vein( or flexible hose)...will determine the needed psi, to keep the tube open...

   meaning,( .1 grams of vein weight x 1000 mm vein length + adjusted fluid weight( 2 mm radius x 2 x 360 x 1.060 specific gravity of blood) + 100 grams of tissue above, or any pressure applied above the vein, to the skin = pressure in "grams", to keep the vein from collapsing...this "grams" value, must then be calc'd to convert to "pounds", or "psi"( grams value x 0.0220462) = psi value( 4.246979968)...the numbers pile up rapidly...so, i feel this displays the reason the body's heart has two pressure outlets, the "aorta" to the head, and the "left ventricle" to the farthest extremities)...the veins must be kept expanded, and too much pressure would be going to the brain if there was only one high pressure, hence, the reason that i feel the "aorta" supplies the brain with blood, and the "left ventricle" draws blood to be pumped to the farthest extremities, from the "aorta", to generate a higher pressure...seen in numeric form, the "right ventricle" would be the low pressure return( -3.00 to -3.497psi), from the extremities, that mixes the return blood with o2, from the lungs only, that then contracts, and sends +3.497psi of blood, to the "aorta", that then acts as a pressure outlet, and staging area...for the "left ventricle", the "left ventricle" then draws blood from the "aorta", at it's +3.497psi value, and as the "left ventricle" is a smaller chamber, drawing a higher pressure into it's volume, when it compresses, it generates a higher "psi", at it's outlet(+4.246psi)...this displays the concept that i feel is "in-play" in the heart, for the inspection of any medical persons, where-ever they may be, world-wide, i hope that i am correct, and that this concept yields some improvements, in modern medicine--

   i am working on an idea for a super-cheap prosthetic hand/arm, for amputees in underdeveloped countries, or those that have few funds, here at home...it involves the use of a "Star wars" hand toy...called a "Star wars science : darth vader robotic arm", coupled with another "Star wars"  toy, called a "Star wars science : the force jedi training tower", as a controller for the arm...also, a simple battery power supply,  may be one of the other few components needed, in addition to that, to make it work...it seems that the up and down of the ball, via the mind, could easily be converted a "voltage signal", to actuate the hand, with a few wires, and some transistors( to step-up loads)...not to bad, for cheap money( the arm is 49.00 bucks, and the "Force trainer" is available on amazon.com, for 89.00....the arm is available on amazon.com also)-- 

  that's 138.00 plus change, for all the major components to have a working arm( i found a used prosthetic arm, for display, on Ebay, that had a workable "stump-mount", for a 75.00 dollar "buy-it-now" price...plus shipping of 15 dollars), so, for about 228.00, you could have most of the stuff...in the third world, they could probably get it going for another 100 bucks...crazy, a serious prosthetic hand, for less than 500 bucks...naturally, the plastic parts are fragile, an issue, but those in poor countries would likely "inject-mold", or "pour", their own replacement parts, as they broke...possibly out of "Jb-weld", or carve them from wood, or reproduce them from another cheap-but-strong material...i have no extra funds to try this right now, but, if i have a few bucks in the future, i might...i really feel that the two toys, coupled together, could do it( in my opinion)...from toys...unbelievable--
