OCOM 6010 - Musculoskeletal System
This five-week musculoskeletal course gives students a strong foundation in the anatomical and physiological sciences relating to skeletal muscle and bone tissue, as competency in these areas is directly applicable to many medical disciplines: particularly, orthopedics, radiology, rheumatology and rehabilitation medicine. The course focuses on acute injury in terms of basic bone and cartilage histology; pathology of bone, including acute inflammation and cell death; membrane transport and action potential generation of excitable tissues; radiological imaging of the limbs and back; muscle pain and weakness in terms of the underlying physiological mechanisms that regulate muscle forces; pathologic processes that cause pain and weakness; joint pain with respect to limb muscle, anatomy and histology; chronic inflammation and the immune system; and back pain in relation to biomechanics, treatment and rehabilitation medicine.
