School:Biomechanics
From Wikiversity
Biomechanics is the study of the mechanics of living organims. This ranges from the mechanics of organism functions such as locomotion or prey capture to mechanical properties of tissues and cells. Typically, those who study human-oriented biomechanics are within university departments of biomedical engineering, usually as part of medical schools, while those who work on non-human systems and comparative work across species are part of the biology department. Though the subject is typically considered a foundational aspect of Bioengineering, it is often part of a Biophysics curriculum, as it involves many concepts from physics in order to fully understand the biological mechanisms.
The types of tissues we are going to study are muscles, lungs and blood vessels, each with special characteristics to accomplish contraction functions and others.
Well, here we are:
