Document Summary
Definition of biomedical engineering: application of engineering techniques in medicine. Medical engineering: use advanced technology for medicine, ie development of instrumentation or diagnosis devices. Clinical engineering: improve health care in hospitals, provides services directly to patients and. Bioengineering: genetic engineering or biotechnology, advances fundamental concepts. Medical device: diagnosis; recording or measuring devices. Enhance the human sense to improve data collection: therapy; deliver physical substances/energy to body to treat disease. Physical energy like voltage, heat, radiation: rehabilitation: assist with disabilities. Cardiovascular dynamics, biopotentials (eeg, ecg), respiratory, blood gases. Anatomical positions: afferent efferent: sensory neuron is afferent leading to the spinal cord but motoneuron is efferent because it leads to the muscle dexter (right) and sinister (left) Carbohydrates: structural material, transport and energy storage. Lipids: structural material, main reservoirs of stored energy. Proteins: enzymes, transport channels, signals for changing activities, chemical weapons against bad bacteria. Nucleotides: five c sugars, a phosphate group (atp) and nitrogen base.
