Muscular System Study Chart

The muscular system is the anatomical system of any species that allows it to move. In vertebrates, the nervous system generally controls the muscular system (although in some cases a muscle can completely control itself, such as the cardiac muscle). There are considered to be three different types of muscles, each with its own unique characteristics (they are the skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles and smooth muscles). Approximately 639 different skeletal muscles exist in the human body (now that’s a lot of muscles!) This muscular system chart features complete, labeled illustrations of the human muscular system, including three views for most sections. Illustrated by award-winning medical illustrator Vince Perez, the chart is LOADED with beautiful diagrams, and is clearly and concisely labeled for easy identification. Great for any nursing or medical student, this chart can also be used in the gym, at home or anywhere else you need detailed anatomical information on the muscles!
