Human Anatomy and Bionic Organs Exploration
Study human organ structures and develop bionic organ models using computer simulations and finite element analysis.
Study human organ structures and develop bionic organ models using computer simulations and finite element analysis.
This project aims to combine hands-on practice with theoretical learning, providing an in-depth understanding of the structure and developmental evolution of key human organs and how modern science uses bionic technology to simulate and replicate these organs. Students will explore important organs such as the brain, lungs, and heart, and learn to use finite element analysis software (like COMSOL Multiphysics) to simulate organ development, understanding their complexity and functions.
Students will:
Learn about the structure and function of major human organs, including the heart, lungs, and brain.
Study the developmental processes of organs and evolutionary principles, understanding changes from embryonic stages to adulthood.
Use finite element analysis software to simulate organ development and performance under various pressures or conditions, enhancing their computer modeling and analysis skills.
Create simple bionic organ models (like bionic lungs) using basic materials (such as silicone and plastic tubing), exploring the intersection of bionics and medical devices.
Understand the mechanisms of common diseases (like pneumothorax), demonstrating disease impacts through models and exploring modern medical treatments, appreciating the prospects of bionic technology in medical education and treatment.
This project has the potential for innovative papers to be published in international journals, providing valuable experiences and inspiration for students aspiring to careers in biomedical engineering, medicine, or life sciences. Through theoretical learning and hands-on practice, students will explore the scientific mysteries of the human body over two weeks, igniting their enthusiasm for technology and medicine.
