My heart lies in physics (3 lectures)

  • Basics of pressure and fluid flow Video
  • Ohm’s law of fluid flow, branching in the circulatory system Video
  • Big view of pulsatile flow of blood in the body and measuring blood pressure, cardiac cycle Video: In this lecture I also demonstrated arterial oscillations of the artery which is also an experiment in Lab-1 at PhysLab. Here are the slides that I used. The images in these slides are all taken from internet sources.

Homework 1

 

 

 

 

 

Spark of life (6 lectures)

  • Basics of electricity, charge, capacitance, currents, potentials Video
  • Potential across the cell membrane and action potential Video
  • Action potential, nerve conduction, sodium and potassium channels Video. I also demonstrated charging and discharging of a capacitor and the meaning of time constant. This idea will come in later.
  • Integrate-and-fire model of a neuron Video
  • Hodgkin and Hucxley model of a firing neuron Video
  • Physics of the ECG Video. I also demonstrated the acquisition of the ECG signal in class.

 

 

 

 

 

Quantum aspects in life (4 lectures)

  • Essentials of quantum mechanics of biology Video
  • How magnetoreception works in birds: part 1 (Video) and part 2 (Video)
  • Quantum sniffing

PhysLab

Preparing an institutional and national platform for student-driven experimental research in physics.
