Introduction to fundamental fluid mechanics of physiological systems including the blood flow in the cardiovascular system and the air flow in the laryngeal and respiratory systems. Basic physiology of those systems will be introduced. Fundamental principles and mathematical/physical models for the air and blood flows in the physiological systems and their practical applications will be discussed. Simple computer models with MATLAB will be used in the course.
