What term is synonymous to Biomedical Engineering? correct answers Bioengineering
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) helped the field of biomedical imaging by allowing for a
technique in which images can be created that show good contrast between soft tissues. (T or F)
correct answers True
Designing drug delivery systems fits best under ______ engineering and creating a
pharmacokinetic model for the drugs fits best under ______ engineering. correct answers
Biomolecular
physiological
What is the important design aspect to consider when developing contact lenses? correct answers
Material's ability to allow oxygen diffusion
Engineering is applying principles of ________, ________, _________, and ________ to build
useful products, devices and methods for the benefit of humanity. correct answers mathematics,
physics, chemistry, and biology
Titanium is biocompatible? (T or F) correct answers False
Materials used to make catheters are considered biomaterials. (T or F) correct answers True
What type of material are sutures most likely made out of? correct answers Polymers
A material can said to be biocompatible without specifying the host response to the specific
application. (T or F) correct answers False
An engineer's role in making a new pace maker would most likely be... correct answers Fabricate
the materials into the device
What is a stent? What is it made out of? correct answers Device implanted into an occluded
artery to permit increased blood flow. Platinum or titanium (inert)
Studying how blood flows through our body is a part of biomechanics. (T or F) correct answers
True
Kinematics is determining the causes of motion and kinetics is motion description. (T or F)
correct answers False
The slope of force/displacement curve is called ______ correct answers Stiffness
, Vectors are units where size units and directions must be specified. (T or F). correct answers
True
What is difference between mass and weight? correct answers Mass is a scalar and weight is a
vector; weight is a result of the gravitational force on an object and mass never changes.
What is biomedical engineering? correct answers The practice of designing systems, equipments
and devices for use in the practice of medicine.
What is physiological modeling? correct answers Math models used to help engineers understand
and predict system behaviors.
What is biomedical instrumentation? correct answers Devices used in the medical world.
What are examples of biomedical imaging? correct answers MRI, CT, ultrasound
What is tissue engineering? correct answers The manufacture of biological tissue either ex vivo
or in vitro.
What are biomaterals? correct answers Materials that are used in medical devices or in contact
with biological systems.
What is biocompatibility? correct answers Ability of a material to perform with an appropriate
host response in a specific application. Metals, polymers, ceramics.
What is blood composed of? correct answers Water, cells (platelets), salts, proteins (plasma).
What is kinesiology? correct answers Human movement.
What is biomechanics? correct answers Study of motion and its causes on living things.
What has resulted from biomechanics? correct answers Improved performance and preventing
and treating injury.
What are the three main areas relevant to biomechanics? correct answers -Rigid-body (statics-
study of objects at rest///dynamics-study of objects being accelerated by the actions of forces)
-deformable-body (how forces are distributed within material and can examine how forces cause
damage to growth)
-fluids (heart valves, swimming, anything that flows).
What are scholars? correct answers Variables that can be completely represented by a number
and the units of measurement. (mass)
What are vectors? correct answers Size units and directions must be specified. (weight)
