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. Replacement heart valves - stents - breast implants






2. By an IRB with or without the FDA


3. Heart rate x stroke volume






4. Flexible - light - can be translucent or not transparent - can be degradable or stable - easy to work with - inexpensive






5. Closer to the feet






6. Extracellular






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






8. Protein called tubulin






9. Considered a successful PMA






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






11. Conflict of interest - competence - and age






12. Product development protocol - alternatives to IDE and PMA processes for new devices






13. R-R interval






14. Hollow - cylindrical structures that aid in cell division by transporting chromosomes






15. Ee


16. Study of the impact of hepatitis infection






17. Requires energy; move from low concentration to high concentration






18. As the lung grows into the pleural cavity - it picks of a layer of this






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






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






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






22. Passive and active transport






23. Front view (palms up)






24. <25% results in heart failure






25. Clinical trial of new chemotherapy drug






26. F/ A0






27. Mitosis






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






29. Growth phase 1






30. Delivers and stores proteins and lipids






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


32. Blood pressure cuffs - venipuncture materials (IVs - drawing blood - infusion pumps) - powered wheelchairs - surgical drapes






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






34. Provide additional knowledge without direct benefit to the patient






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






36. Gliding - pivot - saddle - ball- and- socket - condyloid - hinge






37. Normal cells undergo apoptosis when damaged - but the ______ causes these cells to survive and multiply






38. Growth phase 2






39. What specific steps are required before market approval






40. PMA - 510(k) notification - IDE - PDP






41. Consists of the nervous tissue that is not enclosed by bone






42. Further from the midline of the body






43. Three classes






44. Serious level of risk; implants or necessary to sustain life; require PMA






45. Divides the body in posterior and anterior halves






46. Vertical planes passing through the body parallel to the midsagittal plane






47. Metals - ceramics - polymers - biologics






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






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






50. V diastole - V systole
