Study Notes
Biophysics Overview
- Focuses on the application of the principles of physics to biological systems.
- Investigates the physical mechanisms that underlie biological processes.
Equilibrium in Physics
- Statics is the domain of physics that studies the equilibrium condition of bodies under the influence of forces.
- Analyzes forces in balance to understand the stability and motion of objects.
Bone and Tissue Study
- Biophysics explores the structural and mechanical properties of bone and soft tissue.
- Examines how biological materials respond to physical forces, including stress and strain.
Motility of Organisms
- Involves the study of movement in living organisms, including how they move and the forces involved.
- Examines cellular motility and locomotion in larger biological systems, emphasizing efficiency and adaptation.
Fluid Mechanics in Physics
- Fluid dynamics focuses on the behavior of liquids and gases in motion.
- Analyzes concepts like viscosity, flow rates, and the forces acting within fluid systems.
