Test your basic knowledge |

Introduction To Biomedical Engineering

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • 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. Clinical trial of new chemotherapy drug






2. Gene which protects a cell from becoming cancerous; stops cell cycle if need DNA repair






3. Divides the body in left and right halves; aka median plane






4. Institutional review board - consider the ethical aspects - to evaluate - approve - and monitor proposals to perform human research






5. Fluid- filled cavities and are most complex and varied types of joints






6. Water adsorption - reduction of length - reduction of strength - weight loss






7. Extracellular






8. Consists of all nervous tissue that is enclosed by bone (brain and spinal cord)






9. Elastic bandages - crutches - exam gloves - hand- held surgical instruments






10. Mitosis






11. __________ of PDP are reported to the FDA






12. Programmed cell death






13. Provide additional knowledge without direct benefit to the patient






14. Rotational movement of forearm such that the palm is facing posterior when standing in anatomic position






15. Closer to the feet






16. 'substantial equivalence' to another approved and safe device to technology currently on the market






17. Contains ribosomes - protein synthesis






18. Premarket approval - Are licenses to an individual company to market a specific device - require a lot of time and money to prove safety and effectiveness






19. One which has direct benefit to the patient






20. Motion where angle of joint is increased in the sagittal plane






21. Injury with tissue - bleeding and clotting (coagulation cascade) - acute inflammation - pink granulation tissues replaces matrix - tissue is remodeled back to original state






22. Protocol submitted to IRB for approval






23. The most important aspect governing the ethics of human experimentation






24. Metals - ceramics - polymers - biologics






25. Further from the midline of the body






26. ATP production - Kreb's cycle - contains two membranes






27. Consent should be attained from the subject by a person NOT engaged in the research and completely independent






28. Stiff and brittle - good insulators of heat and electricity - very high melting point - hard - wear resistant






29. Lower than for a PMA device


30. Back view (palms up)






31. Investigator






32. Cardiac output < demand






33. Growth phase 1






34. Front view (palms up)






35. Motion where angle of joint is decreased in the sagittal plane






36. Passive and active transport






37. Growth phase 2






38. Basic functional unit of skeletal muscles






39. Protein called tubulin






40. 2/3 diastolic pressure + 1/3 systolic pressure






41. Temporary functions; do not require second surgery for removal






42. Investigational device exemption - allows companies and researches to use their new devices/technology for investigational use only - used to Generate data before PMA's






43. Closer to the head






44. Food and drug administration - in charge of Regulating medical devices for their safety and effectiveness






45. Clinical evaluation of new devices are critical to prove safety


46. Ee


47. Implantable pacemakers - bone implants






48. Nearer to the trunk of the body






49. Moderate risk to the user; most require 510(k)






50. Divides the body into superior and inferior halves
