Biomeganika

Biomeganika is die studie van die struktuur, funksie en beweging van die meganiese aspekte van biologiese stelsels, op enige vlak vanaf hele organismes tot organe, selle en sel organelle,^[1] met behulp van die metodes van meganika.^[2] Biomeganika is 'n tak van biofisika.

In 2022 gaan berekeningsmeganika veel verder as suiwer meganika, en behels ander fisiese aksies: chemie, hitte- en massa-oordrag, elektriese en magnetiese stimuli en vele ander.

Etimologie

Die woord "Biomeganika" (1899) en die verwante "biomeganiese" (1856) kom van die Ou Grieks βίος bios "lewe" en μηχανική, mēchanikē "megankia", om te verwys na die studie van die meganiese beginsels van lewende organismes, veral hul beweging en struktuur.^[3]
