Synopsis

For many, it is a challenging task to remember the functional anatomy of muscles. This text addresses this by using an interactive learning approach where the reader is required to shade or highlight the muscles where indicated on skeletal outlines. An introduction shows the reader how to make the most of this book, and following on from this is a general chapter on muscles and movement. In subsequent chapters each muscle is detailed and placed in the context of the joint over which it operates. This practical book is intended to be of use for learning and revision, as well as a source of reference for practitioners.
