Systems Pathology: Skeletal Muscle
About
These notes are a fairly comprehensive collection of information to complement the lectures and labs delivered in VPM 2210 and 2220, Systems Pathology I and II, on the topic of skeletal muscle. Although all of the information is useful, certain areas will have been emphasized in lecture, let the areas focussed on in lectures and lab guide your studying. There are a few rare conditions that are not discussed in these notes, and you are encouraged to read through the relevant chapters in the textbooks recommended below.
The notes are available online at http://russfraser.ca/course-materials/muscle/, as a PDF on this site (icon to the left, underneath the image) or on Moodle. Please feel free to provide feedback, whether on content, style, or typos!
