Abstract: We show how the theory of the critical behaviour of $d$-dimensional polymer networks gives a scaling relation for self-avoiding {em bridges} that relates the critical exponent for bridges $gamm{a}_b$ to that of terminally-attached self-avoiding arches, $gamm{a}_{1,1},$ and the {correlation} length exponent $u.$ We find $gamm{a}_b=gamm{a}_{1,1}+u.$ We provide compelling numerical evidence for this result in both two- and three-dimensions. Another subset of SAWs, called {em worms}, are defined as the subset of SAWs whose origin and end-point have the same $x$-coordinate. We give a scaling relation for the corresponding critical exponent $gamm{a}_w,$ which is $gamm{a}_w=gamma-u.$ This too is supported by enumerative results in the two-dimensional case.
