AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS CHAPTER, STUDENTS WILL BE
ABLE TO:
Describe the different classifications of
biomedical sensors.
Describe the characteristics that are important
for packaging materials associated with
biomedical sensors.
Calculate the half-cell potentials generated
by different electrodes immersed in an
electrolyte solution.
Describe the electrodes that are used to
record the ECG, EEG, and EMG and those
that are used for intracellular recordings.
Describe how displacement transducers,
airflow transducers, and thermistors are
used to make physical measurements.
Describe how blood gases are measured.
Describe how enzyme-based and microbial
biosensors work and some of their uses.
Explain how optical biosensors work and
describe some of their uses.
