An Illustrated Atlas of the Skeletal Muscles, Fourth Edition is designed as a functional reference, supplement, and study guide for students and health professionals with a broad diversity of interests in the normal structure and function of skeletal-muscular systems.

The Study Guide and Workbook provides a significant review and reinforcement tool to aid students in mastering their knowledge of the human skeleton, articulations, body motions, and the innervations and actions of individual and functional groups of muscles. Designed to accompany An Illustrated Atlas of the Skeletal Muscles 3rd edition by Bowden/Bowden as an additional study tool, it also provides all health professions and life science students an effective self-study guide on these topics.

A concise reference, this text covers the origin, insertion, action and innervation of each human skeletal muscle. Over 240 illustrations are included, many updated for this edition.

The 7th edition includes changes reflecting modern understanding, terminology and teaching of the musculoskeletal system. There are changes on 42 different pages including many new or enhanced notes on function and 20 new descriptions or explanations of anatomical relationships. All muscle illustrations are new.

A user-friendly illustrated guide to all the major skeletal muscles, written for students and practitioners. This concise, pocket-sized guide is a full-color, on-the-go reference for students and practitioners of anatomy, massage, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, nursing, and physiotherapy. Easy to use and fully illustrated with more than 500 drawings, it provides a complete profile for each muscle, clearly showing its origin, insertion, nerve supply, blood supply, and action. Each muscle drawing is accompanied by a unique inset of the relevant attachments, which (along with the precise text) paints a complete picture from which to learn.
