Anatomy of Biomechanics

Course Code

CR_EBMEC_8

Course Fee

€1300* includes course notes and exam fee

This programme covers the anatomical basis of the biomechanics of selected major body systems: the musculoskeletal, nervous and circulatory. The main emphasis is on living, functional anatomy. There will be continual reference to clinical conditions. Course delivery will be through interactive lectures and tutorials, combined with study of anatomical models.

Course Content

Introduction: Anatomical terminology and organisation of skeletal, muscular, nervous and cardiovascular tissues.
Joints: Classification by form; relationships of form to function; examples from limb joints.
Muscle: Muscle types; skeletal muscle types; structure-function relationships; innervation.
Nervous system: Organisation of brain and spinal cord; somatotopic organisation in the central nervous system; the production of movement.
Limbs: Muscle groups and patterns of muscle organisation; functional anatomy of the principal joints (hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist).
Trunk, head and neck: Basic body plan; body wall – skeleton, muscles, innervation; organisation and distribution of cardiovascular components; blood supply to heart and brain; heart – morphology and function; coronary circulation; anatomy of stroke.
Vertebral column and pelvis: structure – function relationships, including force transmission.

Duration

Three Days.
