BIOL 621 - Functional Human Anatomy I

4 Credits
This course provides an in-depth study of regional human gross anatomy, and the function and integration of the neuro-musculoskeletal systems. This course is designed for students enrolled in health profession graduate programs. Emphasis is placed on structures of the upper limb, trunk, pelvis, and lower limb. Course content will be delivered by lecture and virtual study of the human body.

Grade Note(s): A grade of C or better is required to successfully complete this course.
Fees: Additional course fees apply.
Corequisite(s): 1st semester MSOT courses
Course Learning Outcomes:
1. Predict physiological changes due to lesions of select nerves, arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels of the trunk, pelvis, and upper and lower limbs.
2. Predict musculoskeletal deficits in select clinical case scenarios.
3. Compare and contrast normal osteogenesis to select pathological skeletal conditions.
4. Integrate the functions of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, and lymphatic systems.
5. Differentiate types of joints based on their anatomical structure, mechanical function, and limitations.
6. Apply anatomical terminology in regards to body, organ, and structure position.
7. Demonstrate the action of individual skeletal muscles and skeletal muscle groups of the trunk, pelvis, and upper and lower limbs.
8. Describe the physiologic principles of the musculoskeletal system at the microscopic and macroscopic levels to produce human movement and locomotion.
