Course Description:
A regional in-depth study of human anatomy with major emphasis on functional anatomy. This
will be accomplished though the study of prosected human specimen and surface anatomy.
II.
Relationship to Curriculum Design:
This course adds basic human anatomy, joint biomechanics and functional relationships to provide
a broad foundation of functional anatomy. The knowledge and understanding of basic human
anatomy and functional mechanics will allow students to translate this for use in the assessment
and treatment of their future patients. This course is a prerequisite to a functional understanding of
the human body and how to integrate this basic knowledge of normal anatomy into the evaluation
of patients’ condition.

Teaching/ Learning Experience:
You will be required to participate in all aspects of class discussion and lecture. Class session will focus on
developing an understanding of the human neuromusculoskeletal system both normal anatomy and normal
variants. Lab will present a detailed three-dimensional investigation of human anatomy through prosected
human cadavers. Though cadaver study and surface palpation students will learn the important basics of
human anatomy to further their understanding of the human body and biomechanics.
