Physics of the Human Body
- Mechanics of the human body:
Mechanical properties of the body (bones, types of muscle tissues, joints)
- Mechanics of the human body:
Static in the body (upper and lower limbs and spine)
- Mechanics of the human body:
Preliminary study of kinematics and dynamics of human movements (walking, running, jumping)
- Metabolism - energy, heat, work and power of the body:
The main sources of ATP, the basic metabolic rate, the methods of measuring BMR, the power produced in the body, the conservation of energy and the ways of heat removal from the human body (conduction, convection, radiation, evaporation)
- Physics of the respiratory system:
The structure of the respiratory system, the mechanism of pulmonary ventilation, the physical properties of the respiratory system (surface tension, lung acceptance and time constant, chest elasticity, airway resistance, air flow in the airway, work of the respiratory system)
- Physics of the respiratory system:
Transfer and exchange of respiratory gases, spirometry: lung volumes and capacities, breathing in unusual conditions such as Mountain heights and sea depths
- Cardiovascular Physics:
