Identical coursesFunctional Anatomy of the Human Locomotor System (B-KUL-I0T97A)
Aims
Students
- understand the structure and function of the human musculoskeletal system;
- can describe the relationship between the exact anatomical structure of the skeleton and the large muscles and its function;
- understand the anatomical substructure of the static and dynamics of the normally functioning body

Activities
3 ects. Functional Anatomy of the Human Locomotor System (B-KUL-I0T97a)
Content
The following subjects will be treated in this educational activity:
• An introduction in which the student is made familiar with the anatomical terminology used.
• A general anatomical part in which concepts on structure of bones, joints and muscles are defined.
• The trunk: in this part the spine, chest, abdomen and pelvis are described.
• The upper limb: in this part the bones, joints, muscles, nerves and irrigation are described.
• The lower limb: in this part the bones, joints, muscles, nerves and irrigation are described.
Course material
The study material consists of a course on 'Functional Anatomy of the Locomotor System" that will be issued at the start of the programme.
As additional equipment is recommended:
- Sobotta, Atlas of Human Anatomy, Elsevier (any edition is good).
- Gray's Anatomy for Students, Elsevier, 2° Edition.
Format: more information
You learn the theory on the basis of slides in PowerPoint that are used during the lectures.
