(Enme/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): Admission to a Graduate Program in Kinesiology. Also known as: (Mechanical Engineering 663) (Medical Science 663)
