The document provides an overview of a course in anatomy and physiology. It discusses the following key points: - The course is worth 3 credit hours and covers topics like the cell, tissues, organ systems, and their functions. - The objectives are to introduce human body structures, understand organ physiology, and study relationships between organs. - There are two main types of anatomy: gross anatomy which examines larger structures without a microscope, and microscopic anatomy which uses microscopes to study tissues, cells, and molecules. - Assessment includes attendance, labs, midterms, quizzes, and a final exam. The course outline lists various organ systems that will be covered.

Biomedical engineering (BME) or
medical engineering is the application

concepts to medicine and biology for
healthcare purposes (diagnostic –

This field seeks to close the gap between
engineering and medicine.

BMEs study anatomy and physiology because
they need to know the properties of the body
in order to create viable solutions.
For example, you must take a physiology class
in order to understand how the heart beats

in order to understand how the heart beats
(via electrical impulses). With that knowledge,
you will understand why a pacemaker solves
the problem of irregular heartbeats.
