Anatomy and Physiology for Engineers I

This module introduces anatomy and physiology to engineering students. Students will learn the anatomical terminology needed to communicate in the biomedical field. Tissue types of the body are distinguished. All the systems are briefly examined with a particular focus on the cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous systems. What can go wrong with these systems through injury or disease is investigated along with the solutions biomedical engineers develop to address them around the world.

1. Demonstrate correct usage of the terminology used to describe anatomical structures.

2. Describe the different structural levels of the human body.

3. Explain the structure and function of connective, epithelial, nervous, and muscle tissue.

4. Explain the structure, function, and regulation of the cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous systems.

5. Summarise the application of engineering technologies for addressing international health issues.
