Why does it need to pump or emulate a real heart? Could one not create the same in a much smaller form factor with lower power usage?

- lostlogin 13y agoAre you asking if pulsation flow is needed? Other systems depend on the pulsation nature of our circulatory system. I'm no expert, but off the top of my head CSF flow and bowel peristalsis depend on pulsation blood flow to a degree (or so I was taught, ages ago). I'm sure there are others who are more knowledgeable here though.
