BMEN 3420 Transport in Cells and Organs
Transport in Cells and Organs
Fundamental principles of Fluid mechanics and mass transport will be applied to biological systems at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels. The topics of this course will be the cardiovascular, respiratory systems and cell adhesion, drug transport and pharmacokinetics, and transport-related pathophysiological conditions (inflammation, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, sickle cell disease, cancer metastasis). The lab session will provide training in measurement and analysis of cell transport in parallel-plate flow systems. Fulfills departmental "“domain"” requirement.
