Functional Anatomy

Catalog description

This course reviews the most important features of anatomy including bones, joints, muscles, blood vessels, muscle palpation, and peripheral nerves and connects their relevance to functional movement. Drawing from knowledge of biological and physical sciences, as well as basic neuroscience, the structure, function, and application of basic biomechanical, neuromuscular, and musculoskeletal principles are discussed in relation to everyday activities and occupational performance. In addition, students learn to relate foundational principles covered in the lecture through practical experiences during the cadaver dissection lab.
