Course Description:

Participants will spend an 8-hour day in the lab exploring the anatomy and mechanics of the body with dissected human cadavers. This workshop will lead participants in analyzing the anatomy of bone, muscle, and connective tissues while exploring techniques in mobility and strengthening based on mechanical tissue relationships. Highlighted systems include the Skeletal System, Muscular System, Nervous System, Endocrine System, Cardiovascular System, Respiratory System, and Digestive System. Key areas the course will look at are muscle attachment sites, muscle fiber direction, neural relationships. fascial attachment sites, fascial fiber direction, tissue relationships, common anatomical occurrences, and anomalies.

Course Learning Objectives:

1. Describe and identify anatomical structures of the musculoskeletal system, skeletal system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and digestive system.

2. Recognize how anatomy is involved in human movement.

3. Identify anatomical relationships to pathology and dysfunction.

4. Discuss exercise interventions based on cadaver anatomy findings.

Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Participants will correctly identify anatomical landmarks and tissue locations.

2. Participants will understand anatomical variability in humans.

3. Participants will have deeper insight to nervous system tissue relationships.

4. Participants will recognize muscle fiber direction for the purpose of applying force to the body for an intended purpose.
