Equine Functional Anatomy & Biomechanics

Overview

This course delves into the study of anatomy and biomechanics as they relate to movement and function. Throughout the course, you will learn about the typical structure and organization of the musculoskeletal system, which is essential for proper function, particularly during motion. Functional anatomy of muscles and muscle groups will be thoroughly described, including details such as their origins, insertions, innervation, vascular supply, and the actions they are responsible for. By the end of the course, you will be able to analyze the structural biomechanics of movement.

Learning outcomes
