Answer to Question 1

The Physiome Project is an international project seeking to create mathematical models of human organsdigital models of every system and anatomical feature of the human body. It has created a virtual heart using mathematical equations to simulate the processes of the heart, and it has been used in studies of irregular heartbeats. A draft of the lungs and skeletal system has been finished. The project is currently working on the digestive system and a database of cellular functions. In the future, the project hopes to model the nervous, endocrine, immune, sensory, skin, kidneyurinary, and reproductive systems. Utilizing these mathematical models, the project hopes to find treatments for conditions such as arthritis and autoimmune disorders. These mathematical models will not only allow the testing of drugs but also enable medical engineers to fashion customized implants and surgeons to perform dry runs of surgeries. The use of these models is still far from reality. Computer-assisted drug trials are not a replacement for actual clinical trials; they are a tool for making the trials more effective.
