OTH 506 - Applied Human Anatomy and Physiology

6 Hour(s)

The emphasis of this course is a functional understanding of the location and interrelationship of the body’s structures, as well as fundamental concepts related to the normal function of the human body. The anatomical and physiological basis for human occupation will be examined and applied through the integration of structure and function in content areas most pertinent to the practice of occupational therapy. Content areas will be studied both clinically and regionally, with emphasis on the bones, muscles, vasculature, innervations, and structures for each region. Relevant injuries, clinical applications, and potential occupational dysfunction will be addressed. The potential for disruption to homeostasis as it pertains to occupational dysfunction and to the practice of occupational therapy will be addressed. Topics are integrated into both lecture and laboratory formats.
