Lesson 8
Digestive System
Let me demonstrate how a biomedical engineer might use simulation (mimicking real life processes) to better understand how a medication is processed by the body. Let's use a simple model of the digestive system and represent the stomach by a cup filled with vinegar and the small intestine by a cup filled with water and baking soda. We use vinegar to represent the stomach because it is an acid similar to the gastric acid that is squirted on food by our bodies while it is in the stomach. We use baking soda and water to represent the small intestine because together they form a base similar to bile, one of the main digestive juices squirted on food while it is in the small intestine. Let's test a medication that is commonly used to relieve pain or fever — aspirin. Unfortunately, aspirin can also make your stomach hurt. To keep this from happening, researchers developed several different types of coatings to keep aspirin from being digested until after it has passed through the stomach and into the small intestine. Let's do a quick test on one of these coatings to see how well it works. continued at...

Question/Answer: Ask the students and discuss as a class: from Techengineering.org
Although muscles are necessary for movement, many components work together to provide human motion; these basic parts are collectively known as the musculoskelatal system. The system consists of muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and cartilage, which are typically found where two or more bones are joined together, at a joint. Each bone usually has at least two pairs of muscles to exert forces on neighboring bones connected at the joint.
Components of the musculoskeletal system found in a typical elbow joint.
Our musculoskeletal system is essentially the combination of many simple levers (bones) operated by ropes (muscles) to move the structure about. Muscles produce motion in a similar way to ropes in an engineering system; they can pull, but they cannot push. In studying mechanics, engineers call a pulling force tension and a pushing forcecompression. Since bones are secured at the joint, when a tension force from a muscle pulls on a bone, a tendency for the bone to rotate about the joint is created. This turning, or rotating effect, produced by such a force is what engineers call a moment, or torque. Because each group of muscles produces tension forces in only a single direction, every bone usually has at least two muscles to achieve motion in multiple directions; one is called a flexor and another called an extensor. For motion in one direction, the flexor contracts to pull and rotate the bone one way, while the extensor is relaxed. For motion in the opposite direction, the extensor contracts to pull and rotate the same bone the other way, while the flexor is relaxed. Nearly every motion of the body is produced by a combination of these two pairs of muscles contracting and relaxing in unison.
Biomedical engineering blends traditional engineering techniques with the biological sciences and medicine to improve the quality of human health and life. Biomedical engineers are increasingly demonstrating that traditional engineering expertise applied to the life sciences is helpful in solving problems in human health. This relatively new area of engineering applies to several diverse disciplines including biology, ergonomics, kinesiology, physiology, medicine, orthopedics and mechanical physics. Professionals in these fields depend upon the assistance of engineers with a strong understanding of biomechanics and the musculoskeletal system. Their passion for improving human health and our quality of life ultimately improves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who are injured every year.
The attached Robotic Brace Reading provides more information on the engineering design and prototype testing of medical device technology that helps people relearn how to move severely weak or partially paralyzed limbs.
Artificial muscle implants are been studied for use by astronauts orbiting in space and persons on Earth with muscle-degeneration diseases. Have students research the effects of muscles in space and discuss how artificial muscle implants might help with this problem.

Discussion:
answers are seen when you highlight the line.
Question/Answer: Ask the students and discuss as a class: from Techengineering.org
- Are the muscles in our bodies important? Why? (Possible answers: Our muscles enable our bodies to move and operate; to create physical motion.)
- Do engineers have any interest in the human body? (Answer: Yes, engineers want to understand how the body works so they can design and create devices to help fix problems that can occur.)
- Why do you think people in some cultures carry loads on their heads? (Discussion points: With this technique, the load is distributed down the back and supported by the skeletal system without producing a force around any joint, which muscles must counteract. This method uses fewer muscles and relies more on the support of the skeletal system; hence, your muscles do not tire as quickly.)
- (Use the classroom door to demonstrate a simple lever) Why is it easier to open the door if I push on the edge of the door far away from the hinge, compared to pushing on the door close to the hinge? (Discussion points: Engineers call this "leverage." Leverage is when less force is needed to produce the same amount of work. Less force is needed if we use a longer lever. That means less muscular force is required if we push at a spot farther away from the hinge.)

Welcome Back!
We are going to start with some practice note taking skills and begin with some simple research.
Below is a video that is 28 minutes long. Its already been well researched and presented systematically. I expect you will watch it several times in order to complete the assignments.
Complete the following 3 assignments based on this lecture:
1. Please create an outline of the lecture. Cite his evidences.
2. The beginning of the video starts with a brief introduction to evolution and creation. Create a handout that can be used for "your elementary students" who haven't ever studied evolution. Use WORD. Help them to understand the evolutionary references and compare them to the creation science account. **you can use a few of the simple evidences cited don't over whelm them. (hint: do NOT use the delta or carbon 14 dating)
3. Write up a summary of Carbon 14 dating. Comment on its reliablity. Use references from the video or other sources (make sure you cite them).
*you can use this research chart if you would like or create your own

JANUARY
It's time for a bit of research.
You will be given a journal to document your research.
Give yourself a timer and go online to find answers/sources for the following topics:
- List the plants you wish to grow this season. Start with the things you eat the most. Add the things you would love to grow.
- Research companion planting based on your list what additional plants should you add to your garden?
- Research 2 non traditional planting methods: Square Foot Gardening. Keyhole garden, Hydrophonics, Vertical Gardening. - Based on the growing space/supplies and types of plants which method would you like to experiment with this year?
- What is the best time to plant those specific plants for our area?
Here are some research starting points if you need some....
- Companion Planting: proof - NONE of my melons or tomatoes were affected by bugs this year. (chickens yes, but companion planting saved them from the fate of former gardens)
- Square Foot Gardening: I also have the book for review
- Alternate growing concepts:
Hydroponics
explore more if you are interested. We can create a hydroponic system to try using Walmart materials and some items purchased from the hydroponic shop off of Grantline. - Vertical Gardening Tower Gardening

DECEMBER: In the midst of Winter we are going to start growing / sprouting seeds and gardening. To me it gives me hope for the future and keeps the winter from seeming so long. Here's the science behind it.
___set up Green House and begin sprouting seeds___ (most likely indoors since the wind is so strong we lost the green house last year.
ASSIGNMENTS:
WATCH: Plant Biology
Study the different types of plants - vascular, nonvascular, monocot and dicot. Also learn about the structure of plant stems, the apical meristem, primary shoot system growth, the lateral meristem, secondary shoot system growth, the structure of leaves, primary root tissue, root hairs, primary roots, lateral roots, nitrogen fixation, xylen, phloem, flowers and pollination.
READ: UNIT 7 in your TEXT BOOK first 2 chapters of the unit before January. Be able to answer the Chapter Review - and turn in on December 19.
