https://tue.osiris-student.nl/onderwijscatalogus/extern/cursus?cursuscode=8TB10&collegejaar=2025&taal=enLectures about cells, organization and load-bearing capacity of tissues, functional anatomy of joints, and how matrix and tissue structure can led to joint function and vice versa. Guided self-education to evaluate the study material more thoroughly. A practical session is organized in which groups of students will have to couple tissue structure to joint (knee) function using a pig knee from the slaughter house. Findings of the practical session are presented to their peers.
- Students can describe the anatomy of tissues (i.e. bone, cartilage, tendon) and joints (i.e. spine, shoulder, hip, knee, elbow, wrist and ankle).
- Students can relate tissue structure to function.
- Students can relate joint anatomy to function.
- Students can analyze and hypothesize how tissue structure relates to joint functioning
- Students can make a basic design for an implant and discuss the properties (geometry, mechanical properties, operation technique, i.e. which healthy tissues will be damaged), taking into account the structure and function of bone, cartilage and ligament
