Created primarily for those who will work in physical activity
fields, the third edition of Kinetic Anatomy continues to building
on its previous editions to assert itself as the ideal resource for
learning structural anatomy and how it affects movement. The text
gives students a firm concept of musculoskeletal anatomy by
systematically assembling each component of the human body. Layer
by layer, readers will study bones, ligaments, joints, and muscles
on the bones, as well as the nerves and blood vessels that supply
these muscles that are essential for movement.
Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition, includes coverage of three major
structures that are not often considered when studying the anatomy
of movement: the brain, heart, and lungs. As the centerpieces for
the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems, these
structures are essential to human movement and are highlighted
throughout the text where appropriate. In addition, other
fundamental features make this resource a valuable tool for
learning and teaching human anatomy:
- A one-year subscription to Musculoskeletal Anatomy Review, an
online anatomy program, provides an interactive forum for reviewing
regional structural anatomy.
- A new chapter on the head completes the regional approach
followed in the text.
- More information on muscle and motor units helps broaden
information on movement potential in selected sport activities.
- Expanded discussion on joint strength and movement and the
function of muscles (agonists, antagonists, stabilizers, and
synergists), levers, and exercise supports understanding of how the
human body is constructed.
- Full-color photos and illustrations enhance the learning
experience.
- New Functional Movement Exercises provide students with the
opportunity for practical application of their studies by asking
them to identify the prime mover, antagonist, fixator, and
synergist muscle in a particular movement.
- Hands On exercises throughout the book offer students practice
in physically identifying anatomical structures on themselves or on
a partner.
Included with each new text is a key code allowing students
one-year access to the online anatomy program Musculoskeletal
Anatomy Review. This engaging supplement to the text offers a
regional review of structural anatomy with exceptionally detailed,
high-quality graphic images--the majority provided by Primal
Pictures. Students can mouse over muscles and click for muscle
identification, and each chapter features a pretest and posttest
evaluation to help students pinpoint knowledge gaps and test their
retention. The pretest can be taken multiple times and is generated
randomly so it will never be the same, but the posttest may be
taken only once. Test results can be printed and turned in so
instructors have the option to use the tests as a grading tool.
To further facilitate learning, each chapter in the book
concludes with a review of the key terms referred to in the
chapter, suggested learning activities, and review questions in
multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank formats. The answers to the
questions are provided at the end of the book. For instructors, a
new image bank accompanies the updated instructor guide and test
package to aid in delivering the course content.
Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition, is an outstanding introductory
resource for those who plan to specialize in any field related to
physical activity. Readers will learn what structures are involved
in movement and how those structures should function, allowing them
to identify problems and correct them to enhance physical
activity.
