PHYS 321 Physics and the Human Body I
This course expands on the physics principles developed in introductory physics courses through an in-depth study of mechanics, fluids and thermodynamics as they are applied to the human body. Areas of study include biomechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer, sound, and pressure in the body.
This course aims to illustrate how sub-systems within complex biological systems like the human body can be modeled applying Physics principles and concepts. It focuses on the application of concepts in an environment that does not readily come into our minds while discussing Physics.
PRQ: PHYS 105 or PHYS 201.
