Learning outcomes This curricular unit intends to provide the student with the knowledge needed to understand how the industrial electronics systems work. At the end of the course students should be able to understand and discuss the phenomena of electric conduction in cell tissues, and the electrical signals present in biological organisms, with emphasis on signals present in the human body.
Syllabus Transport of electrical charge across the cell membrane. Resting membrane potential and action potential. Conduction on the nerve. Synapse. Cardiac electrical activity. Potential in cardiac muscle. ECG simulation. Biological effects of electricity. Biological effects of radiation. Biological effects of magnetic field. Ultrasound, basis and applications. Doppler and echo. Laser and its applications. Principles of EMG. Principles of EEG.
