3D: Abbreviation for three-dimensional. This term is an adjective that describes something that has characteristics that can be described in his three dimensions: height, width, and length.
bio engineer: A person who applies engineering to solve problems in biology and systems that use living things.
blood vessels: A tubular structure that carries blood to tissues and organs.
cardiovascular system: An adjective that refers to something that affects or is part of the heart or the system of blood vessels and arteries that carry blood to the heart and other body tissues.
cell: (in biology) the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. They are usually too small to see with the naked eye and consist of a watery fluid surrounded by a membrane or wall. Depending on their size, animals are made up of thousands to trillions of cells.
development: (in biology) The growth of an organism from conception to adulthood. They often change in chemical nature, size, and sometimes even shape. (In engineering) The growth or change of something from an idea to a prototype.
size: A descriptive characteristic of something that can be measured, such as length, width, or time.
engineer: A person who uses science and mathematics to solve problems. As a verb, “engineering” means to design a device, material, or process that solves some problem or unmet need.
field: Research fields such as: Her field of research is biology. It is also a term used to describe any real-world environment in which some kind of research is conducted, such as the ocean, forest, mountaintop, or street. This is the opposite of artificial environments such as laboratories.
gel: A sticky or viscous substance that flows like a thick liquid.
limbs: (in physiology) an arm or leg. (In botany) A large structural part of a tree that branches off from the trunk.
Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering: A person trained in a field of research that uses physics to study motion and the properties of materials to design, build, and test devices.
nutrients: vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, or proteins that plants, animals, and other living things need as part of their food to survive.
organ: (in biology) different parts of an organism that perform one or more specific functions. For example, the ovaries are the organs that make eggs, the brain is the organ that understands nerve signals, and the roots of plants are the organs that take in nutrients and water.
PhD: (also known as doctoral degree) A type of advanced degree awarded by a university for work that creates new knowledge, usually after 5 to 6 years of study. A student is only eligible to begin this type of graduate study after first completing a university degree (usually a program that requires her four years of study).
organization: Made of cells, the various types of substances that make up animals, plants, and fungi. Cells within tissues function as units to perform specific functions in living organisms. For example, different organs in the human body are often made from many different types of tissue.
human tissue engineering: The field of research that transforms cells and other biologically active molecules into living, working tissues. Much of its use is focused in medicine, where the goal is to create new tissue to replace or repair damaged tissue, sometimes including entire organs. Examples include artificial skin and artificial cartilage.
transplant: (in medicine) To replace an organ, tissue, or cell with that of another organism. This is also a term used to describe the material being moved.
ultraviolet light: A type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 10 nanometers to 380 nanometers. The wavelength is shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays.
