1) Explain 2 contributions of G. Borelli and Y. C. Fung to Biomechanics.
2) How do you think that elements of Biomechanics can be used in studies
environmental? Explain with 3 examples.
3) Name 5 research areas where Biomechanics is involved. In one of them explain the relevance from the biological point of view of determining forces and deformations.
4) What are the different scales where biomechanics concepts are applied? Give an example for each of them.
5) Briefly explain three general functions of the muscles and bones of the musculoskeletal system.
6) Most of the muscles of the skeleton are attached to areas very close to the joints, so that their arms, although they are very small, their mechanisms allow the movement of the human body. (a) How are they considered from the point of view of force efficiency? (b) What are the biomechanical benefits?
7) Why are bones considered efficient structures from a biomechanical point of view?
