Study Notes
Measurement Errors and Physical Quantities
- Measurement error can be systematic
- Dimensional equation for pressure: [P] = M * L-1 * T-2
- Temperature is an intensive quantity
Van der Waals Forces
- Van der Waals forces are physical interactions
- They are weaker than intramolecular forces
Cryoscopic Depression and Osmolality of Plasma
- Cryoscopic depression in plasma is 0.53°C
- Osmolality of plasma is 0.28 osmol/kg (using K = 1.86°C·kg·mol-1)
Gaseous State
- Gases are fluids
- Gases have variable mass density
Gas Mixture – Molar Fraction
- Molar fraction represents the number of moles of a gas divided by the total number of moles in the mixture
- Molar fraction is equal to the volume of the gas divided by the total volume of the mixture
Solution Properties – Molality
- Molality is the number of moles of solute per mass of solvent
Electrical Potential of a Dipole
- Electrical potential of a dipole is proportional to the dipole length and the electric charge
- Electrical potential is expressed in Volts
Work of a Force
- Work done by a force is negative when displacement opposes the force
- Work done by a force is negative when the speed of displacement decreases
Blood Flow and Viscosity
- When blood flows slowly, viscosity increases
- Red blood cells tend to aggregate when blood flows slowly
Fluid Dynamics – Bernoulli and Poiseuille Laws
- Bernoulli's theorem: The sum of kinetic, potential, and pressure energies is constant for a horizontally flowing fluid.
- Poiseuille's law: Resistance to fluid flow decreases when pipe diameter increases.
Diffusion and Electromigration of Particles
- Diffusion is migration due to a concentration gradient
- Electromigration of negatively charged ions through a membrane is influenced by the potential difference
- Ion flow increases with increasing potential difference and ion mobility
Convection Forces
- Convection involves pressure forces
Nernst Equation – Membrane Potential
- Membrane potential is influenced by temperature
- Membrane potential depends on ion concentration on both sides of the membrane
Osmotic Effects on Red Blood Cells (RBC)
- RBCs shrink in hypertonic solutions
- Osmotic pressure is higher in the solution than inside the RBC when the solution is hypertonic
Arterial Vascular Network
- Large arteries are elastic
- Blood velocity in capillaries is low
Electrocardiography (ECG) and Heart Electrical Axis
- ECG shows an isoelectric QRS complex in lead DIII and a positive amplitude in lead aVL
- The most probable heart electrical axis orientation is 30°
Key Concepts to Remember
- Measurement errors affect accuracy consistently.
- Van der Waals forces are essential for molecular interactions.
- Osmolality and cryoscopic depression indicate solute concentration in plasma.
- Gas properties vary with composition and conditions.
- Blood flow dynamics depend on viscosity and pipe diameter.
- Electrical potentials explain membrane potentials.
- Osmotic effects show responses to hypertonic/hypotonic environments.
- The vascular system maintains efficient circulation.
- ECG readings show heart electrical axis orientation for diagnosis.
