BM1001 BIO-MECHANICS 3 0 0 100
AIM
To understand mechanics involved in functioning of cardiac, respiratory and orthopaedic systems as well as at soft tissue level.
OBJECTIVES
• To study the mechanics involved in the blood flow to various vessels and valves.
• To study the breathing mechanism, airway resistance and lung diseases.
• To study the elasticity, properties of skin, ligaments and
tendons.
• To study mechanical properties of bones, joints and cartilages.
