An introductory outline of the basic anatomy and physiology of the human body for engineers. The objective of this course is to present the various levels of structural organization of the body, from chemical through cellular and tissue organization to organ, system, and whole body structure and function. The role of physical principles and phenomena as they are known to exist and apply to living systems will be highlighted in engineering terms. The aim is to (i) develop a quantitative intuition of biological systems; (ii) understand how principles in engineering can be used to study biological processes; and (iii) understand the relationships between structure and function at different size and time scales. Guest lectures will include engineers and medical scientists to discuss the relationship between recent advances in biomedical engineering and the underlying anatomy and physiology.
