Anatomy and Physiology for Engineers II
Description
This module continues on from Anatomy and Physiology for Engineers I and examines the structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems. What can happen to these systems through disease or injury is investigated. Also, devices to address these issues will be studied to highlight how biomedical engineers around the world contribute to the health of the human body.
Learning Outcomes
Describe mechanisms in the human body to maintain homeostasis.
Describe the structures and mechanisms of the cardiovascular system to transport and exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and tissues.
Describe the structures and mechanisms of the respiratory system to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and air.
Explain the structure of the musculoskeletal system and how the human body moves.
Review international examples of how biomedical engineering devices address homeostatic imbalances in the human body.
