Addressing the functional anatomy of muscles, this work uses an interactive learning approach in which the reader is required to shade or highlight the muscles where indicated on skeletal outlines. A general chapter on muscle and movement is followed by others in which each muscle is detailed and placed in the context of the joint over which it operates. Features of the text include practical exercises and muscle tests to demonstrate the function of each muscle, learning instructions and discussion points for use when studying with a colleague, and translations of the Latin names.
