Today I want to talk about the circulatory system.
I bet you learned that our circulation occurs by a circuit commanded by the heart, which
carries blood through the arteries to the capillaries and returns through the
veins to the heart to be pumped again.
This is partly true, but it has missed something
important ... This is not a closed system. It would not have sense. Blood running around and around ...?
What happens is that the circuit is opened in the
capillaries and blood releases fluids, oxygen and nutrients to the tissues to
allow them to work. Then, veins and
lymphatics collect excess of fluid and waste, to return them to the
circulation, eliminate what doen’t work and recharge oxygen and nutrients.
But how they return? The heart pumps blood through the arteries to
the tissues ... but who pumps the venous blood from the tissues? We do not have
small hearts there that push the blood back into circulation again.
The veins must make use on physical and mechanical properties
as gravity or the action of adjacent muscles.
However, this return system may not always work and
causes that veins remain full, with little or nil circulation.
As a traffic jam on the highway ... a traffic jam of
garbage trucks.
So the accumulated blood increases the pressure inside
the veins, deforming them and generating changes, in this case, in our legs.
Varicose veins appears to search for new paths, the swelling
by the lack of drainage of liquids, pains and cramps for the accumulation of
waste and lack of oxygen.
Over time, if this process continues, the tissues are
weakened, acquire different coloration and helps the formation of ulcers. Of course, ulcers difficult to heal.
The solution requires a comprehensive management
involving the elimination of new blood vessels, the varicose veins, tissue
nutrition and get strength to veins and lymphatics, without forgetting the
improvement of the drainage system to remove load and pressure that affected
veins.
