BioMedical Engineering - EXAM
1 questions and answers
Define the term "biomedical engineering". - answer Understanding biological
systems, advance the practice of medicine and, develop therapeutic
technology and devices.
Distinguish Biomedical engineering from closely associated fields. - answer
•Bioengineering
•Biological Engineering
---Often the same thing sometimes includes Agriculture & Environmental
Science
•Biosystems Engineering
---More focused on agriculture and environmental science
•Biomolecular Engineering
---Manipulation of biomolecules
•Biochemistry
---Branch of chemistry that studies the chemical rxns across biology
•Biochemical Engineering
•Bioprocess Engineering
---The creation of new chemical products using biological organisms or
components.
•Biotechnology
---DNA & RNA Manipulation
What are three common entry level jobs for biomedical engineers with a BS
degree? (B) Which of the three sounds most interesting to you? (C) Why? -
answer Product Design Engineer
Quality Engineer
Regulatory Affairs Associate
, What is meant by the term "Tissue Engineering"? - answer The practice of
combining scaffolds, cells, and biologically active molecules into functional
tissues.
What is meant by the term "Personalized Medicine"? - answer The practice of
tailoring medical decisions, practices, interventions and/or products to the
individual patient based on relevant biomarkers from that patient.
How are advances in imaging driving improved healthcare? - answer Being
able to see inside the body without invasive procedures.
(A) List the most common elements found in the human body and (B) the
four classes of biopolymers that they comprise. - answer (A) Hydrogen,
Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon
(B) Polysaccharides, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids.
(A) List the various subcompartments where water is distributed in the
human body and (B) their approximate percentage of total body water. -
answer Intercellular Fluid (40%)
Extracellular Fluid(20%)
•Interstitial Fluid (Between Cells): 15%
•Intravascular Fluid: 5%
Approximately 60%.
(A) Using a common set of small molecules as examples explain the
difference between polar and non-polar molecules. (B) Why is polarity
important to living systems? - answer Water is bonded by polar-covalent
bonds which creates a dipole and partial charges on the molecule.'s
elements. Non-polar molecules do not dissolve in polar solutions. Polarity is
crucial for life because it allows for the interaction of non-polar molecules,
transportation, and absorption of different nutrients.
