Study Notes
Module Information
- Course title: Biomedical Engineering – BE1HAP
- Course description: Human Anatomy and Physiology for Engineers
- Instructor: Igor Meglinski
- Office: MB154Q
- Email: [email protected]
Recommended Study Approach
- Attend lectures
- Complete independent study using recommended reading and worksheets
- Attend labs, and seek help with challenges
- Review tutorial answers and utilize contact hours for independent study
Module Plan
- The module plan outlines weekly topics, instructors, and times for lectures and labs (including dates for labs and locations)
Learning Together
- Notes are key to learning and recalling information
- Taking notes during activities and using independent study time is crucial for learning
- It's essential to speak up if struggling with a topic
Who is the guy?
- Sir Isaac Newton is a historical figure.
- In this content, he is cited for an idea from over 300 years ago about light being particles.
Notes and Diagrams
- The provided pages include various scientific notes and diagrams, likely for student learning or reference
Scientific Notes
- Include pages of scientific notes with handwritten information
Lab Sessions
- A lab report of approximately 3,000 words is required
- This is to be written in groups of 4 students on an allocated organ system and discuss further improvements.
- This report will cover the physiological and anatomical principles of the selected organ.
- Labs are scheduled for weeks 3 and 6.
- Groups will be released a week prior the lab session.
- There is a 35% grade allocation for the lab report, 15% for presentations, and a quiz (1.5 hours) worth 50% of the grade.
Module Learning Outcomes
- Students should define and clarify the function and location of different parts of the human body.
- Learning engineering principles will help understand the analysis of human body functions.
- Understanding the clinical measurement of electrical activity (ECG, EEG, EMG), and its relationship with the functions of the body will be essential.
Current Trends and Future Perspectives
- Detailed information, likely visual representations, about current trends in technologies such as photography, 3D sensing, and future perspectives like artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and the concept of digital twins in healthcare.
Wireless Techniques (15+ Years)
- Describes how wireless technology allows healthcare professionals to access patient records remotely.
- The use of handheld devices, implanted wireless devices for diabetes monitoring, and ageing people monitoring.
Structure and Function
- Anatomy describes the structures of the body and their components.
- Physiology studies the functional aspects of anatomical structures and their interactions.
Anatomy and Physiology Integrated
- Microscopic anatomy focuses on cell and molecular structures
- Cytology studies cells
- Histology studies tissues
- Cell physiology analyzes processes within and between cells
- Special physiology details functions of specific organs.
- Systemic physiology studies the function of an organ system.
- Pathological physiology investigates the impact of diseases.
Levels of Organization
- Chemical level involves atoms and molecules.
- Cellular level centers around cells.
- Tissue level groups similar cells, forming tissues.
- Organ level integrates different tissues to create organs.
- Organ system level brings together multiple organs.
Structural Organization of Matter
- Proteins are composed of 20 different amino acids.
- Carbohydrates are made of simple sugars.
- Nucleic acids comprise nucleotides.
- Lipids are made from fatty acids and glycerol.
- Cells are the basic units of structure and function of the human body.
Cells
- Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life.
- Human bodies have approximately 40 trillion cells.
- Cells perform various activities, including processing food, creating energy, and reproducing.
The Parts of the Cell
- Organelles are sub-cellular structures with specific functions.
- The cell membrane separates the cytoplasm from the environment.
- The nucleus contains DNA and manages cellular functions.
Cells (types, specialization, diversity)
- There are 226 types of human cells.
- Cell specialization adapts to varied functions (example- muscle, nerve etc).
- Cell types are diverse and specialized, depending on function.
The Cell Theory
- living organisms are made of one or more cells
- Cells are the basic units of structure and function.
- Cells arise from preexisting cells
- Homeostasis is maintained at the cellular, organ, and organismal levels.
Cell size
- Provides visual representation and details about sizes of various cellular structures
Cell Diversity
- Discusses the internal organization of Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells.
Bacteria
- Details on how bacteria and other cells move through bodily fluids.
The Cell Membrane
- Description of the cell membrane as a double layer of lipids and proteins.
- It acts as a barrier and controls what enters and exits the cell.
The Nucleus
- Describes the nucleus as a spherical structure within the cell.
- It contains the DNA, controlling cellular activities.
Types of Cells and Tissue
- Discusses types of specialized cells
- Discusses types of tissues
Learning Questions/Outcomes
