Aim:
The course aims at giving physical description of pressures and flows in i.e. the circulatory and respiratory system and knowledge about corresponding measurement techniques. Specific goals from an engineering point of view are to:
- Formulate and apply fluid dynamics theories and models of the circulatory system in health and disease
- Utilize theories of respiratory physiology, gas exchange, and respiratory diseases
- Assess and utilize techniques for pressure measurement, blood flow assessment and gas flow analysis
- Generalize theories and measurement techniques for pressures and flows to other physiological systems
