Course content
Today’s Medicine is involved with so many multi fields, therefore the skills and techniques used in medical research are always further expanding into many kinds of knowledge fields. From this aspect, expected capability for the students studying in this field should involve many fields. This study helps students to get the first step to expand their skills and knowledge. Especially this class focuses on knowledge in cardiovascular physiology which covers the blood circulation, heart function, blood circulation, blood vessel function, etc. In addition, the skills on the microscopic photograph, data evaluation examples, and measurement skills, and designing way is also focused. What to need in this course is to have great curiosity, and activeness to learn, and discussion capability.
Purpose of class
To explain the cardiovascular system, the cardiac cycle, cardiac output, haemodynamics, and the microcirculation.
Furthermore, in order to lead students for their further research activities into expanded vision in advanced biofluid field, this class covers the microscopy, Biofluid treatment to mimic the in-vivo condition, Image treatment after the image acquisition, and so on. In addition, the design skill to make in-vitro study would be also introduced. Students should get such skills to treat microscope with biofluid, and image analysis, and the design skill to make in-vitro biofluid studies.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand the cardiovascular system
  2. Understand the cardiac cycle
  3. Understand the electrocardiography
  4. Understand the cardiac output
  5. Understand the Haemodynamics
