Q

What is bioengineering?

A

Bioengineering is the application of engineering (technology) to living things, such as humans and plants.

17
Q

What do bioengineers do?

A

Bioengineers look at problems that occur in living things and invent technology that will help these problems.

18
Q

What is assistive bioengineering?

A

Technology that is developed to help organisms, but DOES NOT change them (only temporary).

19
Q

What are some examples of assistive bioengineering?

A

ASSIST = HELP

  • Eyeglasses
  • Wheelchairs
  • Antibiotics
  • Artificial Limbs
20
Q

What is adaptive bioengineering?

A

Technology developed to help living organisms and permanently changes them.

21
Q

What are some examples of adaptive bioengineering?

A

ADAPT = CHANGE

  • Lasik Eye Surgery
  • Knee Replacement
  • New Strains of Disease Resistant Crops
  • Biofuel
22
Q

What can adaptive bioengineering also be?

A

A modification of existing technology.

23
Q

What is an example of a different type of adaptive bioengineering?

A

A watch that not only tells time but jeeps up with how far you have walked.

24
Q

What is biofuel?

A

Biofuel is made from living matter (nature).

25
Example of a biofuel:
Ethanol
26
Medical Devices
Any material, apparatus, or sofware, or other article that is used to: - Diagnose, prevent, monitor, or treat a disease or injury - Investigate, replace, or modify a part of the body
27
What is a biomaterial?
A biomaterial: - is made from a natural or synthetic material that can be engineered to help itself. - can be introduced into the body as part of a medical device or used to replace an organ - can be temporary or permanent
28
What are biomaterials used for?
Medical Devices
29
What is the pro and con of Synthetic Biomaterials?
Good: They are easy to make and exactly the way you need it to be. Bad: Sometimes the body does not like them.
30
Stuff to know
Biomaterials can take many forms to support new tissues to grow Some biomaterials are soft and jelly like and can be injected into the brain or heart.
