Dive into the world of Functional Anatomy with the Second Edition, where dynamic visuals and engaging kinesthetic exercises make learning about the human body’s structures an exciting journey. From bones and ligaments to both superficial and deep muscles, this comprehensive guide offers a thorough exploration of different body regions and layers.
Inside the book, you’ll find detailed muscle profiles that delineate origin, insertion, and innervation points, paired with clear step-by-step instructions for effective palpation techniques. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how structures facilitate movement, including joint motion and techniques for assessing passive and resisted range of motion.
Each region culminates in a clear connection between structure and function, illustrating how they work together to support both daily activities and sports movements.
Every new print copy comes with Navigate Advantage Access, unlocking a suite of interactive resources such as a complete eBook, writable PDF workbook, engaging videos, informative animations, flashcards, an audio glossary, and a comprehensive Anatomy & Physiology Review Module.
Plus, the new digital workbook offers an innovative writable PDF format paired with updated flashcards, providing additional exercises and self-testing opportunities. The enhanced online Anatomy & Physiology Review Module serves as an interactive study tool, enabling students to delve deeper into human anatomy while testing their knowledge.
With “Try This!” activities and Chapter Review Questions, key kinesthetic concepts are highlighted, ensuring concepts are reinforced effectively. The Second Edition expands on ligaments and their functions, arthrokinematics, and the complexity of nerve anatomy, including both motor and sensory distributions. Key new content explores the brachial plexus anatomy and its pathway from the spine to the upper extremities, making this edition a must-have for anyone interested in understanding functional anatomy in depth.
