3.0 out of 5 stars Clarity of display, February 9, 2003

This review is from: Atlas of Skeletal Muscles (Plastic Comb)

Atlas of Skeletal muscles is a basic book on anatomy which clearly illustrates each of the skeletal muscles in line drawing form. Bones to which the muscles attach are highlighted so you can clearly see point of origin and insertion. Small text section beneath or beside each illustration demonstrates Origin, Insertion, Action and connecting nerve.

It's spiral binding allows the book to lay flat when needed for ease of study. A basic, beginner book for students of anatomy, and one which I would reccomend. It was a textbook of mine in Massage Therapy school.

4.0 out of 5 stars Student's Review, March 30, 2006

Me (Toronto, Ont.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Atlas of Skeletal Muscles (Plastic Comb)

I'm currently a student, and when my professor showed me this book I was hooked. It's great for it's simplicity. I can pay 10 bucks for a huge chart that shows me every single muscle in the body all at once. But I need more than that. I need every single muscle's origin, action, insertion and innervations. So I rushed home to order a copy of this book. Knowing that it'll be a great help with my studies!
