Musculoskeletal Anatomy

О курсе

Explore how the human body moves with Musculoskeletal Anatomy. This course offers a comprehensive study of the human musculoskeletal system. You will explore the functions and structure of bones and joints, including osseous tissue components, bone growth, and common disorders such as fractures, osteoporosis, and arthritis. You’ll learn about muscular tissue properties and muscle contraction mechanisms. The course covers the anatomical features of the axial and appendicular skeletons, major joints, their classifications, and the body's muscles, through both lectures and optional extended reality experiences. This is the first course in the Anatomy course series, an introduction to the major functions of the human body, from the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, to the function of the heart, lungs, and hormonal pathways.
