PREREQUISITES: A215, P215 (Human Physiology), C105-106, C483, or
equivalent.
Study of skeletal muscle structure, theory of contraction, mechanics,
and energetics. Basis for muscle fatigue, adaptation strategies,
hormonal regulation of muscle structure-function, and disorders of
voluntary muscle are covered. Topics also include comparative view of
cardiac and smooth muscle structure-function.
