Charles Darwin University ENG429 Biomedical Engineering: Introduction To Anatomy

This document provides an introduction to anatomy for biomedical engineering students. It outlines several resources for learning human anatomy, including websites on organ systems, anatomical models, illustrated textbooks, and interactive tutorials. Students are asked to evaluate the websites, identify any parts of anatomy they had trouble understanding, and explain which resource they find most useful for an in-depth study of anatomy.

ENG429 Biomedical Engineering

Introduction to Anatomy

This tutorial is for students with a background in Engineering, IT or related fields. If you study Sports
Science, Biology or Biomedical Science you should do the Introduction to Electrical Engineering
tutorial.

Biomedical Engineering is a multidisciplinary field. This means that you need be able to communicate
with people who have a different area of expertise. It may help if you have some knowledge of their
discipline. Below are some resources which may help you get an idea of some of the anatomy of the
human body. While it is not possible to obtain in depth knowledge of this area in the time available for
this tutorial, it should give you an introduction. You can refer to these resources again if you want to
learn more at a later stage.

Submission requirements: complete the on-line survey Anatomy (see submit here) and submit the
results.

The human body can be divided in different parts (head, abdomen, arm) and the structures in each of
these body parts can be studied. Traditionally students of anatomy would dissect the body parts of
cadavers. Alternatively anatomy can be studied by focusing on organ systems, systems of organs
involved in a certain function. For an introduction to organ systems see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_system

The different organ systems also interact with each other. For an overview of the interactions between
the nervous system and other organ systems see:
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/organ.html

Anatomy is sometimes studied using (plastic) models. Pictures of models are shown at:

http://daphne.palomar.edu/ccarpenter/Models/model%20index.htm

Alternatively, anatomy may be studied using textbooks. This resource gives you access to a 1918
illustrated anatomy classic, Gray’s anatomy, with original detailed engravings.

An interactive resource where you can progressively look at further details can be found at
http://www.getbodysmart.com/

Alternatively you can look at http://www.innerbody.com/

The resource below also provides links to description of disorders of the system which is shown.
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/anatomy.html

Interactive training where you can test your knowledge of anatomy can be found at:

Evaluate each website. Which parts of the body did you look at? If you have trouble understanding
the topic, what is it that you don’t understand?

What questions do you have about the material shown in these examples?

If you would want to get an in depth knowledge of anatomy, which of the resources above would be
most useful for you? Explain your answer.

How much time did you spend doing this tutorial?
