Biomaterialsa material intended to interface with biological systems to evaluate, treat, augment or replace any tissue, organ or function of the body. Can also be a solid material that occurs in and is made by living organisms such as chitin, fibrin or bone. Exclusively used in healthcare. Can make biomedical devices out of biomaterials. Requires properties as close to physical properties of tissue (flexibility and texture), stability, degradable (rate and mode of degradation), biocomp...

Compare and contrast how positive and negative feedback mechanisms are used to maintain homeostasis. Use these concepts to describe: a. The maintenance of blood glucose levels b. The release of platelets to form blood clots Ans: a. negative feedback - insulin is produced by the pancreas b. positive feedback - first platelets bind to site attracting more platelets to bind What does it mean if an organism is an ectotherm? Give an example. Ans: external source of body heat; ex: snakes W...
