Cell and Tissue Biomechanics

Catalog description

Studies the concepts of force and motion at the cellular and tissue level. Prepares biology majors to examine the function and structure of living systems using the principles of mechanics. Covers the medical applications of biomechanics from a bioengineering perspective. Laboratory experiments use sensors to learn about the applications of biomechanics, such as the study of brain injuries and orthopaedic implants. May not be taken for credit by students who received credit for: BIOL 486-9. Prerequisite(s): PHYS 205 with grade of C (2.0) or better.
