Key benefits described in the supplied copy
The following information belongs to the supplied description of The Muscular System Manual, 5th Edition, not verified content for this product:
- Approachable, detailed skeletal-muscle study: Described as an atlas of the muscles of the human body, with complete muscle coverage in an easy-to-understand, compartmentalized, customizable layout designed to build a thorough understanding of skeletal muscles.
- Comprehensive muscle-action reference: The supplied copy calls it the most comprehensive atlas of muscle actions available and the only text listing and describing all open-chain standard mover actions, all closed-chain reverse mover actions, eccentric contraction functions, and isometric stabilization functions—with all actions fully referenced in one convenient table.
- Visualize anatomy in context: More than 380 full-color overlay illustrations show muscles, bones, and ligaments drawn over photographs to help identify muscle and bone positions in the human body.
- Study by body region and understand the reasoning: Regional organization combines large muscle drawings with explanations of how muscles function together, making it easier to find the topic being studied. Methodology coverage for each muscle explains the reasoning behind its actions, encouraging understanding rather than memorization.
- Explore muscle relationships interactively: The unique Electronic Muscle and Bone Review Program on the Evolve companion website uses a base photograph with a skeleton drawn in and a list of every muscle for each major body region. Users can select and place any combination of muscles onto the illustration to examine attachments and relationships among muscles, helping clarify complex anatomy and prepare for practice.
- Reinforce learning with online resources: The supplied copy describes robust Evolve companion resources, including more than 100 video clips, an interactive muscle program, and other resources. Instructional videos identified as new simulate the classroom experience and reinforce book content.
Who this is for
The listed kinesiology title is for readers seeking a book on the mechanics and pathomechanics of human movement. The separate muscular-system description states that its atlas is suitable for anatomy novices, intermediate learners, and advanced users; that suitability statement has not been verified for this listing.
