Abstract
The hypothesis of British physiologist Starling explaining the mechanism of venous rise is considered. The theoretical arguments demonstrating its insolvency are presented. The principal one is, that Sterling’s hypothesis contradicts basic laws of physics. It is offered, for discussion, the hypothesis explaining venous rise not contradicting with physical laws. The hypothesis is based on the idea, that the common view of physiologists and doctors on the locked anatomy of blood circulation system is false. Examples of «open end» circulation in muscle and lung based on capillary effect and not on diffusion are presented.
Key words
post-capillary, law of hydraulics, hypothesis of «open ends», capillary rise
