Functional Anatomy

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to investigate the musculoskeletal anatomy of the human body including nerve innervation, vascular anatomy, and function of the neck, trunk, and limbs. Case studies are used to enhance the understanding of human anatomy and interpret movement impairments which will require students to synthesize anatomy, physiology, and human movement as it relates to injury. This course will introduce biomechanical principles as it relates to connective tissue function to explore pathophysiological principles. Laboratory session will reinforce the didactic portion of the course with extensive palpation and landmark recognition. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 206 Corequisite(s): None
