    Study Notes

    Laplace's Law and Capillary Pressure

    • Capillaries are able to sustain high pressure because of their small radius. This reduces the wall tension required to maintain the pressure.
    • The relationship between tension (T), pressure (P), and radius (r) is represented by Laplace's Law: T = Pr.

    Laplace's Law and Heart Ventricles

    • Ventricles need to generate more tension during contraction to elevate intra-ventricular pressure.
    • As the ventricle radius increases, the tension required to maintain the pressure also increases.

    Hinge Joints

    • Allow flexion and extension movements only.
    • Move around a transverse axis.
    • Example: Elbow joint

    Pivot Joints

    • Allow rotary movements.
    • Move around a longitudinal axis.

    Factors that contribute to venous return

    • Limbs: Muscular contraction, valves, arterial pulsation, and deep fascia all contribute to venous return.
    • Thorax: Negative intra-thoracic pressure helps move blood back to the heart.
    • Head & Neck: Gravity plays a role in venous return from these areas.

    Arteriovenous Shunts

    • Site: Found in the gonads (testes and ovaries)
    • Characters:
      • Direct connections between arteries and veins.
      • Bypass the capillary bed.
      • Regulate blood flow to specific organs.
      • Important in maintaining body temperature.

    Arteriovenous Shunt Formation

    • Time of Formation:
      • Male: Start at puberty and continue until old age.
      • Female: Start in the uterus, then arrest until puberty, continuing until menopause.

    Fertilization

    • Site: Occurs in the fallopian tubes.
    • Results: Formation of a zygote, which begins the process of development.

    Chorion

    • Parts: Outermost membrane surrounding the embryo.
    • Fate: Develops into the placenta, which provides nourishment and oxygen to the developing fetus.
