Summary

Students in this course will become familiar with the basic knowledge of human body structure, with a focus on the physical and mechanical properties of individual organs and tissues. They will be introduced to the fundamentals of anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Further attention will be given to medical imaging methods, materials used in medicine for various tissue replacements, and numerical simulations in biomechanics. The course will conclude with a graded credit.
