Human Musculoskeletal System

The Human Musculoskeletal System is a complex organ system that provides humans with the ability to move, support, and protect their bodies. Coursera's Human Musculoskeletal System catalogue teaches you the fundamental components of this system, including bones, muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments, as well as their interconnected functions. You'll learn to identify and describe the various bones and muscles, understand the mechanics of joint movement, analyze the role of connective tissues, and explain how the system works together to facilitate human locomotion and stability. Mastering this knowledge is essential for professionals in fields such as medicine, physical therapy, sports science, and ergonomics, empowering you to address musculoskeletal disorders, improve physical performance, and contribute to advancements in human health and mobility.
