AN 526 - Functional Anatomy Biomechanics II: Extremities

4.5 Credit(s)

Prerequisites: AN 511 , AN 512 , AN 514 .
This course is a regional exploration of the appendicular system. Bones, muscle attachment and function, vascular and innervation are discussed. Emphasis is on understanding functional based on-attachment and on innervation. Relevant clinical problems are presented. Instruction includes lectures, full dissection of the pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle and extremeties, presentation of prosections, study of the bones and models. Biomechanics II, the study of joint mechanics of the appendicular system is a subset of this course that includes muscle, kinetics and gait analysis.
