Course Content

Introduction to the concepts and research in biomedical sciences and engineering. Provides an overview of current biomedical research areas, emphasis on application in the Biomaterials, Bioelectrical engineering (Bioelectric phenomena, modeling biomedical systems and processes, biomedical signal and image processing, biomedical instrumentation, medical imaging), Biomechanical and Biomolecular engineering (molecular structure, function and self assembly; metabolic engineering; analysis of complex signaling and regulatory pathways; generating products through molecular scale genetical and biological transformations; techniques and instrumentation for study and manipulation of biomolecules; novel medical applications) aspects of the field.

BME502 HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY 3 3.00 0.00 8.0

Course Content

A modular course (lectures along with experimental laboratory) providing a survey of important concepts and selected topics in human anatomy and physiology. Special emphasis will be put on homeostatic mechanisms as well as structures, functions and processes of special interest for biomedical scientists and engineers. Control-regulatory processes, body support and movement, energy metabolism, transport systems, excretory functions, and body defenses are to be considered. Biological feedback mechanisms such as pupil control system, visual fixation, skeletal-muscle servo mechanism, thermoregulation, glucose homeostasis, blood pressure control, cardiac output, body fluid homeostasis will be discussed.
