TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Overview Anatomical and Physiological Fundamentals of Human Motion A1 - Hamilton, Nancy A1 - Weimar, Wendi A1 - Luttgens, Kathryn PY - 2008 T2 - Kinesiology: Scientific Basis of Human Motion, 11e AB - Where does anatomy end and kinesiology begin? In truth, there is no answer because the question itself is not valid. One might as well ask, “Where does the study of words end and the writing of compositions (or articles, or books) begin?” or “Where does the study of building materials end and the designing and erecting of buildings begin?” Just as words are the elements used in all writing, whether creative, factual, or expository, and just as bricks, wood, cement, metal, and glass are some of the elements used in building, so bones, joints, muscles, connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves are the vital elements of human motion. They are the essential elements used in batting a baseball, passing and carrying a football, shooting a basketball into the basket—in fact, in all running, walking, jumping, throwing, striking, catching, and swimming; likewise, one finds them in keyboarding, manual labor, painting, sewing, knitting, and so forth, almost without end.
