Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Materials which upon being placed within the human body interacts with the surrounding bone and in some cases - even soft tissue i.e. Synthetic hydroxyapatite - glass ceramic A-W - bioglass
Biosensor
Polypeptides
Biopolymers
Bioactive Materials
2. Also known as hard materials and it usually has a mechanical function - being strong - hard materials which use less energy for an organism to produce than an equally strong organic material.
Biominerals
Porous Materials
Biosensor
Bioresorbable Materials
3. This involves the use of a binder or by using the thermal method to fuse the fibers together.
Metallic Biomaterials
Membrane Lamination
Fiber Bonding
Particulate Composites
4. These are used in artificial hip joints - dental implants - bone plates and screws - heart pacemakers - stents - and other medical devices.
