In the Functional Anatomy online course, you will learn about hundred different skeletal muscles, knowing at the end of the online course the names and locations of many different skeletal muscles in the human body. The online course will also give you a basic knowledge of the origins and insertions of the skeletal muscles, which will help you to identify the functions of the skeletal muscles, i.e. the specialised movement terminology: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, external rotation, supination, pronation, etc. Functional anatomy provides a thorough basis for understanding the functioning of the human body at the level of skeletal muscles, particularly in the level of skeletal
muscles functions. For example, which skeletal muscles form lordosis, which skeletal muscles are
responsible for the flat back, which skeletal muscles form the foot arches (longitudinal and transverse arches), and so on.
