Muscles ~ Anatomical vs Functional Units: Learn Integral Anatomy with Gil Hedley

https://www.gilhedley.com In this video, we clarify an important (but not always understood) difference between anatomical units and functional units. Anatomical units are the conventional names of muscles, which are based on how anatomists have historically cut and divvied up the muscles of the body. Functional units, however, reflect how the nervous system innervates specific muscle groups.

By understanding the difference between anatomical and functional units, you will both clarify your understanding of integral anatomy as well as the relationship between the nervous system and your muscles ~
