Revised and updated! A user-friendly illustrated guidebook to human anatomy, written for students and practitioners
This concise, pocket-sized book is a full-color revision and is an excellent resource for therapists; science students; and practitioners of anatomy and physiology, pathology, massage, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, nursing, and physiotherapy. This convenient learning companion is perfect as an on-the-go reference or as part of your home library.
The Pocket Atlas of Human Anatomy interweaves text and images in a user-friendly and accessible way. Images have been modified from the previous edition to improve the visual aspect of this highly reliable tool for learning bones, muscles, nerves, the cell, and all major body systems.
A final chapter by Thomas W. Myers outlines a key part of his Anatomy Trains model of human anatomy: myofascial meridians. This chapter presents a map of how tracks of fascial fabric wind longitudinally through series of muscles. This new approach to structural patterning has far-reaching implications for effective movement training and manual therapy treatment.
The appendixes illustrate cutaneous nerve supply and dermatomes (appendix 1); the major skeletal muscles, including detailed charts of the main muscles involved in movement (appendix 2); and the remaining body systems (appendix 3).
