The aim of the course is to familiarise the student with human physiology in general and physiological systems in particular, with attention to biological control and regulation mechanisms. The organism is studied on cellular and organ level, as well as on an integrated level. There is attention for transport physics and modelling techniques applied to physiological systems.
KNOWLEDGE OF: basic knowledge of physiology; action potentials, ion channels; force-length-frequency relation; pressure-volume relations, contractility, preload and afterload; pressure-diameter relation, visco-elasticity, impedance; lumped parameter models; arterial pressure wave reflection; heart-arterial coupling; kinetic modelling, osmolarity, convection, diffusion; perfusion, gas transport, disscociation curves; wave intensity analysis.
ACQUIRED INSIGHTS: propagation of electrical signals and communication between cells; insight in the visual system, processing of visual stimuli in the brain into an image; function of individual muscle cells, experimental models; anatomy and function of the heart; assessment of the heart as a pump; mechanical behaviour of blood vessels and quantification of mechanical properties; generation of arterial blood pressure and flow and contribution of the heart and the arteries herein; anatomy and function of the kidney, control mechanisms; (modelling of) mechanics of and gas exchange in the lung; anatomy of the brain
ACQUIRED SKILLS
search of scientific, biomedically oriented material (Pubmed, web of science) through project work, processing of this information into a scientific report and oral communication of these results in a (powerpoint) presentation
analysis and schematizing of physiological processes
analysis of hemodynamic data (arterial pressure and flow, ventricular pressure and volume) and quantification of systolic function, system analysis of the arterial system, quantification of the interaction between the heart and the aretrial system (via spreadsheet and Matlab applications)
This course contributes to the following programme outcomes of the Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering:
MA_A: KNOWLEDGE ORIENTED COMPETENCES
1. exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering
3. the advanced methods and theories to schematize and model complex problems or processes
4. reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity)
7. present and defend results in a scientifically sound way, using contemporary communication tools, for a national as well as for an international professional or lay audience
11. think critically about and evaluate projects, systems and processes, particularly when based on incomplete, contradictory and/or redundant information
MA_B: ATTITUDE
13. a critical attitude towards one’s own results and those of others
16. an attitude of life-long learning as needed for the future development of his/her career
MA_C: SPECIFIC BIOMEDICAL KNOWLEDGE
17. Knowledge of medical sciences to a level that is relevant to function within the context of biomedical technology.
19. To have knowledge of and insight in the role and possibilities of technology in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, matching the needs of the patient and health care provider.

Oral examination: Students get a few questions about the content of the course with a very small moment to consult the course material. After this small inspection moment, the student prepare their answers in a closed book framework. Finally oral discussion with the examinator.
Some WPO assignments will be prepared in group and evaluated as a group work. Afterwards an oral discussion about the written report will take place on an individual base. Course and report material may be consulted.
The project assignments will be prepared individually and presented with a slide presentation.
