Fully illustrated with more than 500 drawings, and easy to use, this compact reference provides a complete profile for each muscle, clearly showing its anatomy and physiology, the cell structure, its origin, insertion, nerve supply, and action, the movements that use it, and, where appropriate, exercises that stretch and strengthen it.
The book's distinctive quick-reference format is perfect for science revision study when note-taking in exercise books, and shows students exactly how to locate and identify specific muscles, highlighting the pathology of those that are heavily used and therefore subject to injury in a variety of sports and activities.
Each muscle chapter now includes an overview of the gross anatomy of the body area, to show bony landmarks, cross-sections of muscle layers, and points of attachment, as well as a quick reference and an overview of the nerve pathways that are most relevant. The book also includes a new chapter on the pelvic floor muscles, which are of particular interest to those studying or practicing yoga and Pilates.
While designed for the student and beginning practitioner of anatomy, massage, bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic medicine, physiotherapy, yoga, and Pilates or any other health-related field, this unique student nurse essentials guide is equally useful for athletes, the therapist and anyone interested in the principles and workings of the human body.
