"This book is a study guide and reference for the anatomy and actions of human skeletal muscles. It is designed for use by students of anatomy, physical education and health-related fields. It also serves as a compact reference for the practicing professional." - preface.

A full-color atlas of the muscles of the human body, this text provides in-depth coverage of skeletal muscles. An easy-to-understand format organizes the material by body region, moving from head to extremities. For each region, there is an overview of the muscles of the region as a whole, with information on how muscles in that region function together and large drawings of the muscles of that entire region. Then each particular muscle in that region is described with name, the origin of that name, Greek and Latin derivations, pronunciation, attachments, actions, a drawing with an arrow showing the muscle's line of pull, innervation to two levels of detail, and arterial supply to two levels of detail. That overview is followed by a practical, step-by-step guide to palpating that muscle, a group muscle illustration to show the muscle's anatomical relationship to nearby muscles, the methodology for learning muscle actions, and clinically useful information for that muscle. Instructor's resources available.

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.
