Joe Muscolino's The Muscular System Manual: The Skeletal Muscles of
the Human Body, 4th Edition is an atlas of the muscles of the human
body. This approachable, yet detailed, musculoskeletal anatomy
manual provides both beginner and advanced students with a thorough
understanding of skeletal muscles in a compartmentalized,
customizable layout. Each muscle spread shows the individual muscle
drawn over a photo of the human body, with an arrow to indicate the
line of pull of the muscle, and explains: the muscle name, the
origin of that name, Greek and Latin derivations, pronunciation,
attachments, actions, eccentric contraction function, isometric
contraction function, innervation to two levels of detail with
predominant levels in bold, and arterial supply to two levels of
detail. This new edition also features robust Evolve resources, an
updated art program, and new chapter review and critical thinking
questions that encourage you to apply what you have learned to
prepare for practice. UNIQUE! Overlay art, consisting of over 380
full-color anatomical illustrations of muscles, bones, and
ligaments drawn over photographs, helps identify the positions of
muscles and bones in the human body. UNIQUE! Electronic Muscle and
Bone Review Program features a base photograph with a skeleton
drawn in and a list of every muscle for each major region of the
body so students can choose any combination of muscles and place
them onto the illustration - allowing them to see not only the
muscle attachments, but also the relationship among the muscles of
the region. Complete muscle coverage in an easy-to-understand
layout makes this text appropriate for novices to anatomy, as well
as intermediate and advanced students. Content organized by body
region and includes information on how muscles in that region
function together and large drawings of the muscles of that region
so you can go directly to the topic you are studying. Covers the
methodology for each muscle with information for learning muscle
actions to explain the reasoning behind each action - and encourage
you to learn and not just memorize. A four-color, student-friendly
design with sections clearly boxed throughout and checkboxes that
help you keep track of what you need to learn and what you have
mastered. Customizable format, with checkboxes and numbered lists
in each muscle layout, presents basic muscle information for the
beginning student in bold type and more advanced information in
regular type. Palpation boxes include bulleted steps instructing
how to palpate each muscle so you can apply this assessment skill
in practice. Evolve website for instructors includes TEACH
Resources, a Test Bank, and an image collection so instructors can
easily access all of the materials they need to teach their course
in one place - and track through the course management system
provided via Evolve. Evolve website for students includes access to
audio of the author reading aloud muscle names, attachments, and
actions for the muscles covered in the book, labeling exercises,
and more to enrich your learning experience. NEW! Chapter
objectives summarize key points and give you a framework for what
to expect as you read through each chapter. NEW! End-of-chapter
review questions further reinforce material once you have read and
studied the chapter. NEW! A critical thinking question at the end
of each chapter engages you with the material and challenges you to
apply information to real-world scenarios. NEW! Video clips
demonstrating joint actions on Evolve bring to life the material
presented in the Basic Kinesiology Terminology chapter, with live
action video of the joint actions. NEW and UPDATED! Bony landmarks
and more muscles added to the muscle program on Evolve so you can
not only see even more muscle combinations, but also see the bony
landmarks labeled for the region. UPDATED! Upgraded line drawings
enhance your comprehension of each topic presented through visual
representation.
