Course description
A variety of components and their rheological behaviors are contained within our body. This class focuses such phenomena, and especially the hemorheology would be introduced concerning the blood cells, plasma proteins, etc. In addition to conventional basic knowledge, the recent new aspects in biorheological research field would be also introduced.
Purpose of class
Because the In-Vivo phenomenon is complex, In Vitro method would be used for the elucidation of reality inside our body. In such a way, it is very important to mimic the in vivo condition during the experiment. Purpose of this class is to provide the students the necessary knowledge for such studies.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understanding the diffusion, convection, and osmosis
  2. Capability to explain the Roles of Blood cells
  3. Capability to explain the characteristics of blood rheology
  4. Understanding the Cell-cell interactions
  5. Interaction between the artificial organ and blood flow
Language
Japanese
