(KNES/MDSC 663) Advanced Muscle Mechanics and Physiology

3 credits · Graduate Programs

A look at problems associated within muscle mechanics and contractility. Also the use of muscle mechanics as a scientific discipline to critically learn and evaluate the scientific process. Basic anatomy and physiology of muscle contraction including the cross-bridge theory, and the force-length, force-velocity and force-time relationships of actively and passively contracting muscles will also be covered. Prerequisite(s): Consent of the Department. Antirequisite(s): Credit for Mechanical Engineering 663 and either Kinesiology 663 or Medical Science 663 will not be allowed.
