AIM
• To study the techniques of analysing cardiac, neural and skeletal muscular system by analysing biopotential recorded from the corresponding organs.
• To study the lung volume measuring techniques.
• To study in detail the units that can be used in the case of disfunction in the above mentioned organs.
OBJECTIVES
• To study the genesis and variation in ECG waveform.
• To understand functioning and uses of pacemaker and defibrillators.
• To study genesis and recording of EEG signals.
• To identify the epileptic discharges.
• To understand structure, method of muscle contraction, generation of EMG signals.
• To study the functioning of muscle and nerve stimulators.
• To clearly understand functioning and utilities of heart lung machine and respirators.
