The lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously and the leading strand is synthesized continuously. This is called semidiscontinuous replication.

The “blip” in the arterial pressure curve, called the dicrotic notch (or incisura), is produced when the aortic valve closes

Mean arterial pressure is the average pressure in a

complete cardiac cycle and is calculated as follows:

Mean arterial pressure=Diastolic pressure+ 1/3 Pulse pressure

Mean arterial pressure is not the simple mathematical average of diastolic and systolic pressures.

This is because a greater fraction of each cardiac cycle is spent in diastole than in systole.
