Shark spiral intestines may operate as Tesla valves [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021 Looking to nature for inspiration has led to many diverse technological advances. The spiral valve intestine of sharks has provided the opportunity to observe the efficiency of different valve systems. It is supposed that the spiral intestine present in sharks, skates and rays slows the transit rate of digesta through the gut and provides increased ...
