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.
Interesting, but this isn't an entire heart, is it? Only half? Or isn't a human heart? Human hearts have separate left and right pairs of chambers which pump oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood separately. Or am I mistaken?
I just assumed that they dissected through the heart to unfold it. In humans the heart is ‘compact’ and there’s no real way to unfold it without cutting through cardiac muscle but, the heart embryologically develops from a tube that folds over itself so you can theoretically ‘unfold’ it.
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.

This kills the person.

I think taking the heart out is the part that kills them, unless perhaps you reverse origami it while it's still attached

This heart could be easily entangled. So I don't understand this thread's OP nor this Meme.
And I am too afraid to ask.

I don't think most people see heart as something you can uncurl.
As for the crab it's a meme older than some users here

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

Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works · 24 pts · 1y
I wonder if a heart could still beat/function when it's unrolled in this way 🤔
NatakuNox@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 1y
No. It needs to squeeze against itself to move blood to and from chambers.
Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y
Could it not just sorta flex the tube? Like couldn't one part of the tube pull on or press off of the next?
Scubus@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 1y
As someone who flexes the tube very often, I would guess that the heart would start pumping unwanted fluids

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.

Why did they name the left and right atrium backwards? That seems unnecessarily confusing.
mikey@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 1y
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.
