Abstract: The use of anatomical models and animal models of experimentation was the gold standard for the study of subjects such as anatomy and physiology, in the traditional curricula of medicine. The improvement of the techniques of cadaveric dissection and its conservation over time by less harmful and more practical mechanisms enabled the study of anatomy to this day. Numerous biophysical laws are applied in medicine, especially in subjects such as medical physiology and physiopathology. Laws, such as the Law of Laplace that tries to show the relationship between the tension of the walls of a sphere with the radius and the pressure inside it, allow us to explain what would happen under certain conditions with the pathological explanation of this law also. Our body tries to overcome this physical law with another physical law or with modifications or elements that intervene on it to be able to explain why the pulmonary alveoli do not collapse normally. We explained three brief experiments to integrate a physical law with the physiology for a class, showing a way to demonstrate that our organism has created in some way, physiological changes to minimize the detrimental effect that these laws would have on our functioning.
