Atlas of Skeletal Muscles

This unique atlas is a study guide to the anatomy and actions of human skeletal muscles. It is designed for use by students of anatomy and physiology, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, nursing, physical education, and other health-related fields. This concise, compact reference shows the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of all human skeletal muscles. Students and instructors appreciate this atlas for the simplicity of the line art which helps students learn the main structures without overwhelming them with detailChapter 1 has been completely overhauled--all drawings have been replaced by illustrated-enhanced photos to show the major features of the skeleton|Skeletal views are proportional throughout the book to allow an appreciation of the relative sizes and positions of the muscles|A master numbering system is used so that each structure is labeled with the same number throughout the book|Throughout the text, each skeletal muscle is presented in a large format with detail and accuracy|The origin, insertion, action, and innervation of each skeletal muscle is conveniently listed with its illustration|We've updated the design and added a bit of color to improve the overall look and feel|The second chapter describes the various movements of the body, while the rest of the atlas then goes on to illustrate and describe the skeletal muscles|Each muscle is presented on a separate page with a line drawing. The drawings include the following important features: 1. Bones and cartilage containing muscle attachment sites are shaded. 2. Adjacent structures are shown. 3. Muscle fibers are drawn by direction. 4. Muscle fibers are shown on the undersurface of bone and cartilage as dashed lines. 5. Tendons and aponeuroses are shown
