ANAT10140 Anatomy for Sports Science II

Academic Year 2020/2021

This module examines the anatomy of the cardiorespiratory system and is designed for Sports Scientists. In addition the clinical anatomy of the head, neck and vertebral column is covered. Some important information about the central nervous system will be addressed. Ideally this module should be studied after Anatomy for Sports Science I.
