PHYSIOLOGY & ANATOMY FOR BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERS

1.)A Biomedical Engineer must have a knowledge of the structure of the living body (Anatomy) and its function (Physiology) , so that it is essential for understanding the human system and the funtctioning of most of biomedical instruments.
2.)Since Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field based in both engineering and life sciences, it is important for biomedical engineers to have knowledge about and be able to communicate in both areas. Biomedical engineers must understand the basic components of the body and how they function well enough to exchange ideas and information with physicians and life scientists. Two of the most basic terms and areas of study in the life sciences are ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY.
3.)Anatomy refers to internal and external structures of the body and their physical relationships,whereas physiology refers to the study of the functions of those structures.
