| * The offering term is subject to change without prior notice | ||||||||||||
Course Aims | ||||||||||||
This course covers a range of topics in physics relevant to medical and veterinary programs including electricity, magnetism and atomic physics in both physiological and pathological contexts. Students will investigate the fundamentals of these topics and become able to apply them to achieve understanding of aspects of neurotransmission, radiation and electrical pathologies and imaging technologies. This course equips students with a broad knowledge in several important topics in biophysics and the depth and coverage are sufficient for the students to pursue later studies in physiology, imaging technologies, and pathology. | ||||||||||||
