Calculate the mean arterial pressure (MAP) given a diastolic pressure of 60 mm Hg and a systolic pressure of 100 mm Hg
What will be an ideal response?
Mean arterial pressure is calculated as follows:
MAP = diastolic pressure + 1/3 (systolic pressure ? diastolic pressure)
MAP = 60 mm Hg + 1/3 (100 mm Hg ? 60 mm Hg)
MAP = 73 mm Hg
The mean arterial pressure (MAP) based upon these values is 73 mm Hg.

John Musick and Julia Ellis have proposed that the ancestral reproductive mode for elasmobranchs was "yolk-sac viviparity
" That is, embryos were retained throughout their development in the oviducts of the female and emerged as miniatures of the adults (i.e., viviparity), but nutrition was provided by yolk that was deposited at the time the egg was formed, not from the mother during development (i.e., lecithotrophy, not matrotrophy). They suggest that oviparity (depositing eggs that develop outside the body of the mother) was associated with the evolution of small body size because it increased the fecundity of small species of elasmobranchs. What is their reasoning? That is, why would oviparity provide greater fecundity than viviparity for small species of elasmobranchs? What other factors might make one mode superior to the other?
