Functional Human Anatomy
Functional human anatomy is a branch of anatomy that seeks to understand how bodily structures are used to accomplish specific tasks. It takes a ‘bottom-up’ approach to understanding how the body works, examining how various physical structures interact with each other in order to support movement, posture and daily activities. Understanding functional human anatomy can help to reveal important pathological processes, inform surgical procedures and design prosthetics, as well as further our understanding of human anatomy and how it is integrated into our daily lives.
