This course examines the gross as well as microscopic structural properties and the physiological function of skeletal muscle. Students will gain in-depth knowledge about not only normal muscle function, but also about the adaptability and plasticity of skeletal muscle under different environmental circumstances. The comparative biology of structure and function of skeletal muscle will be covered; also the relationship between muscle structure and function as it relates to human health-related issues will be examined and discussed. This course is for undergraduate as well as graduate students and will benefit those interested in health care-related fields (e.g. pre-physical therapy, pre-medicine) as well as students interested in the basic functioning of skeletal muscle.
