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.
