The Muscular System Manual: A Comprehensive Guide to the Skeletal Muscles of the Human Body

By Joseph E. Muscolino DC

A Comprehensive Atlas of the Muscles of the Human Body

The Muscular System Manual: The Skeletal Muscles of the Human Body, 5th Edition is an approachable, yet detailed guide that provides a thorough understanding of skeletal muscles in a compartmentalized, customizable layout. This is the only text that lists and describes all open-chain standard mover actions and all closed-chain reverse mover actions, as well as eccentric contraction and isometric stabilization functions! All actions are fully referenced in one convenient table.

Unique Features:

Electronic Muscle and Bone Review Program – This unique program features a base photograph with a skeleton drawn in and a list of every muscle for each major region of the body. This allows you to choose any combination of muscles and place them onto the illustration, helping you understand not only the muscle attachments but also the relationship among the muscles of the region.

Overlay Art – Consisting of more than 380 full-color anatomical illustrations of muscles, bones, and ligaments drawn over photographs, this helps identify the positions of muscles and bones in the human body.

Organization by Body Region – Content is organized by body region and includes information on how muscles in that region function together with large drawings of the muscles of that region. This makes it easy for you to go directly to the topic you are studying.

Complete Muscle Coverage – This text provides complete muscle coverage in an easy-to-understand layout, making it appropriate for novices to anatomy, as well as intermediate and advanced users.

Methodology for Each Muscle – Coverage of the methodology for each muscle provides information for learning muscle actions to explain the reasoning behind each action – and encourage you to learn and not just memorize.

Robust Online Resources – The companion Evolve website features more than 100 video clips and an interactive muscle program, among other resources, to help you better understand the content.

New Instructional Videos – These videos on Evolve simulate the classroom experience and reinforce book content.
