Explore how the human body moves with Musculoskeletal Anatomy. This course offers a comprehensive study of the human musculoskeletal system. You will explore the functions and structure of bones and joints, including osseous tissue components, bone growth, and common disorders such as fractures, osteoporosis, and arthritis. You’ll learn about muscular tissue properties and muscle contraction mechanisms. The course covers the anatomical features of the axial and appendicular skeletons, major joints, their classifications, and the body's muscles, through both lectures and optional extended reality experiences. This is the first course in the Anatomy course series, an introduction to the major functions of the human body, from the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, to the function of the heart, lungs, and hormonal pathways.
Professor Alsup is an amazing anatomy professor. She is charismatic and very knowledgable. Almost at no point at any time was my attention away from the content. Well done! Great job UMICH!
This course was very thorough although I am not a medical major, I found it very beneficial for my own knowledge and understanding of my body's musculoskeletal and integumentary systems.
The explanations are very clear and easy to understand. The only flaw is that you should speak a little bit more louder. However, the overall of this course is excellent .
Fantastic Course. Can be a little fast paced regarding the information that is discussed in the video lectures, but if you take your time it is absolutely an incredible anatomy course.
i applaud the mastery on the subject matter of Ms. Kathleen. Her presentation made the difficult concepts seems understandable to us in the non-medical field.
Very unformative and very easy to learn. In so many things, i learned a lot and even received the accurate informations.Thanks Courseera and Michigan univ. for this course.
Great in depth course! I went from knowing hardly anything to learning so much! I have discovered that the more I learn the more things there are to learn.
I give you a give Star cause you are a great and good course and I have more information to know to this topic thank you so much and also thank you to a professor here thank you ma'am God bless
Very thorough and yet concise explanation of anatomy basics, including bones, joints, muscles overview, and skin. By far the best health course I have ever taken on this platform. I really enjoyed it!
Great course, lots of information! While the professor was extremely knowledgeable, the course did get a little tedious with all of the pure memorization.
I am very pleased with the initial course in this specialization. The four-week duration is perfect for the amount of weekly hours I could put in. I expect to start the next course right away.
The assessments covers a very long session however I enjoyed the overall session except the long time run of assessment. Usually assessment is taking more than an hour...

i had 3 issues with this course :
1- the instructor's way of teaching is kinda boring.
2-the MCQs do not match with the instructor's video
3-cadivers are really ill defined
4-subtitles had many fatal mistakes and weren't reviewed and change when reported
I thoroughly appreciate the class being presented with a high level of technical professionalism. I thought the professor was excellent, and I look forward to continuing my studies.

This course would benefit from a competent instructional design professional. Pedagogically, this is a course that simply lists anatomical parts. There is no synthesis of information which would help the student truly understand and retain knowledge of anatomy. The lectures often don't match the tests and are clearly not in the order they were made.
the visuals are not very helpful, since the cadaveric images lack detail and contrast to truly be educational.
The video lectures either should be done by professional actors or lecturers that are engaging and aware of camera angles (showing bones which are invisible at the given angle and then testing on it is poor pedagogical practice).
Overall, the information is presented in often too detailed or insufficiently detailed fashion, which leaves one with more questions than answers.
Its an entry level course, but its actually very well created and organized. I liked it very much. Im on medical school and enrolled to refresh my memory and it helped a lot
I am so thankful for this course, it was to the point and well informed.
I am a very visual learner and I had a lot of trouble following along with everything and accurately labeling. Especially during the bone section it would be better to have diagrams rather than pointing to a bone. All the diagrams used were from a real cadaver which was interesting to see however, since there were so many things it was hard to distinguish completely and it would have been perfect if there was also a drawn example to compare it too; it would also have helped for the students so they can easily draw it. Finally, every section was well organized but I think having the overall view and placement in the body would've helped to fully process all the information.
Excelente contenido y excelente profesor. Además de tener contenido muy completo es muy fácil de estudiar y la información es exacta (sin tanta paja). LO RECOMIENDO TOTALMENTE.
Excellent class! Great coverage of important material, clear presentations and images and fair quizzes. It would be nice to have PDF downloads of the presentation slides.
Well compiled course for understanding the topics as well as enabling the readers to make contribution.
The instructor was very good and gave very organized lectures. The slides and visuals were very helpful in understanding exactly what the instructor was talking about.
Assalaamu Alikum:) I had a very good experience of this course. Dr.kathleen Alain is an amazing lecturer Maa Shaa Allah. Thank you so much for the certificate Inn Shaa Allah it will surely help me alot in future.
Puedo decir que fue exelénte las explicaciones que se daba acerca de cada tema, así mismo al momento de explicar las partes lo hacia de forma que era comprensible y los ejemplos eran muy útiles.
Very interesting topic, and the explanations are very clear. I missed some more advanced graphics for some lessons, not just the body
the level of this course was more scientific than cousrse i had taken it in my university
very informative and thorough. Great info provided.
Great explanations, useful graphics, great teacher.
great refresher course. very clear language.
Great review course.
Excellent!
