Transcript / Scene Summary
An octopus has three hearts, but one stops when it swims. Two branchial hearts push blood through the gills. A systemic heart pumps blood to the body. When jetting, the mantle contracts and expels water. This raises internal mantle pressure. That pressure blocks venous return to the systemic heart. The heart only beats when filled with blood. Reduced filling makes it stop or become erratic. Jet propulsion only lasts a few meters. The octopus sustains a small oxygen debt. Cardiac output rises by increasing stroke volume. So the heart pauses to avoid pumping against pressure.
