Text: Manual of Structural Kinesiology. CW. Thopmson & R.T. Floyd,
15th Edition.
ISBN- 0-07-255891-1
Course
Prerequisites: Biology 101
Course Description : Comprehensive introduction to
the Human skeletal, muscular, nervous, and cardiorespiratory systems with
emphasis on how these systems are involved in the production, control and
modification of human movement
Course Objectives: To provide students with the knowledge and skills to
be able to understand the:
(1) Fundamentals
of Bone and Muscle Physiology
(2) Skeletal
System, both axial and appendicular.
(3) Joint
Classification. Structural and Functional
(4) Systems
of bone and of muscle
identifications
(5) Muscles
that move the bones at major joints, and the nerves innervating them
(6) Describe
how musculoskeletal structures influence human movement
(7) Apply
the knowledge to activities of daily living and exercise
(8) Analyze
selected injury mechanisms and identify abnormalities of the systems
(9) Introduce
movement patterns characteristic of special populations throughout the lifespan
(10) Introduction
to cardio and respiratory systems
(11) Introduce
students to Web Assisted materials related to Anatomy
