KH 4300 - Neuromuscular Physiology and Plasticity

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: Completed KH 3650 with a grade of “C” or higher.
Description
This course is a detailed study of the structure and function of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems. In addition, students learn the physiology of movement and fatigue, and neuromuscular adaptations to strength and endurance training, disuse, injury, and aging. Finally, students learn the etiology and functional consequence of numerous neuromuscular diseases, e.g. muscular dystrophy, central core disease, malignant hyperthermia, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
