heart was invented by Dr. Robert Jarvik and Dr. Willem Kolff. This bioengineered device called
the Jarvik-7 was successfully implanted in a human in 1982. Picture 01

Select the choice below that most accurately describes this special
type of device.
a. | This is an example of medical technology produced for humans. | b. | This device is a
synthetic product designed to sustain life. | c. | This is an example of assistive bioengineering
technology. | d. | This is an example of adaptive bioengineering
technology. |

Highly skilled heart surgeons recently installed an
artificial heart in a man at a local hospital in
the city of Nashville. This is an example of
bioengineering.
Which of the following choices
correctly identifies this type of bioengineering?
a. | Replacing a person’s heart with a blood-pumping device is adaptive
bioengineering. | b. | Open-heart surgery is a short-term fix that is only temporary, so it is adaptive
bioengineering. | c. | Surgery does not change people physically, so it is assistive. | d. | It takes many years
of training to become a heart surgeon. So this is assistive. |

We have studied two types of bioengineering:
adaptive and assistive.
Which choice below BEST describes an example of adaptive
engineering?
a. | hearing aids worn in the ear canal, because a disability is
overcome | b. | walking canes made from lightweight aluminum, because mobility is increased
| c. | vision corrected by laser surgery, because a permanent change is
made | d. | automobile tires made from recycled material, because resources are conserved

product |

Research has resulted in the invention of a great variety of bioengineering
products.
Which is the best example of an assistive bioengineered product shown
below?
a. | a pesticide produced from the compounds of a plant | b. | a computer program
that helps a paralyzed person control a wheelchair | c. | a bacterium that generates oil byproducts in
the presence of sunlight | d. | a rosebush that is
bred to have roses of a particular color |

Mr. Thomas was driving too fast on a rainy night, and his car skidded off the
road. His car rolled over, and his right arm was severely crushed. Therefore emergency room surgeons
had to amputate this arm. However, later he was given an artificial arm that he strapped to his body
which enabled him to hold items like cups in his right hand. Image 01

This
narrative includes two different examples of bioengineering. Select the answer choice below
that correctly identifies these two examples from this story. a. | 1) The surgery that removed his injured arm was adaptive bioengineering.
2) The
artificial arm that he received was assistive bioengineering. | b. | 1) Adaptive
bioengineering involves a long-term change brought about by surgery.
2) Assistive bioengineering
is a short-term help that doe not change your body. | c. | 1) A cause and effect investigation was
conducted by the police about the wreck.
2) The prosthetic arm was an example of assistive and
adaptive bioengineering. | d. | 1) Mr. Thomas’ surgery was assistive
bioengineering because his body was changed.
2) His new artificial arm was an example of adaptive
bioengineering. |

At a nearby hospital, in some cases doctors can do
surgery to restore sight to people that were blind. This is an example of bioengineering.
Select the choice below that correctly identifies this type of bioengineering.
a. | Surgery does not change people physically, so it is assistive. | b. | Using medical
technology to restore vision to the blind is adaptive bioengineering. | c. | Eye surgery is a
short-term fix that is only temporary, so it is adaptive bioengineering. | d. | Only highly
qualified doctors can repair visual impairments. This makes it
assistive. |

Adaptive and assistive bioengineered products are
very common in the modern world.
Differentiate
between adaptive and assistive bioengineering.
a. | In assistive bioengineering you permanently change something about a person’s
body
In adaptive bioengineering you help a person but it is temporary. | b. | Assistive
technologies are developed to help organisms without changing them.
Adaptive technologies help
organisms and permanently change them in some way. | c. | Adaptive examples: Band-Aid, hearing aids,
ankle brace etc.
Assistive examples: open heart surgery, spinal fusion, face lift, etc.
| d. | With assistive bioengineering the patient is healed or cured within 6 to 12
months.
With adaptive bioengineering the patient is healed or cured within 4 to 16 weeks.

In comics and movies there is a nocturnal vigilante called Batman that stalks
evil doers in the night.
Batman does not
have any kind of superpower. Instead he wears a lightly armored suit which protects him from bullets,
and he uses infrared devices to allow him to see in the dark. Although Batman is a fictional
character, in reality we actually have bullet-proof vests and night vision devices like
this.
Are these kind of technology items assistive or adaptive? a. | The Batman suit permanently gives him super-strength. So it is
assistive. | b. | They are temporary aids, but they do not change the body. So they are
assistive. | c. | By day he is Bruce Wayne, but at night he is Batman. This change is
adaptive. | d. | Batman’s armored suit is assistive, but the infrared devices are
adaptive. |
