The Different Types of Vortex Rings in the Animal Kingdom

In the human heart, vortices end up forming in your left ventricle. This is before it goes through the rest of your body. There's a point in which it passes through a valve and you get vortex rings that are strikingly similar to what a jellyfish creates or what a squid creates. In each of these different animal systems, we see this reoccurring. Subsequently, there have been other labs to show that changes in the flow within the heart can in fact be an effective marker of disease in humans.
