The Upper Limbs in 3D

by Jack Becker, Josepha Sherman

Overview

This volume, packed with clear and vivid 3D anatomical images, explores the shoulders, upper arms, elbows, forearms, and hands. Readers will understand how the muscles of the arm and hand help us to perform complex movements, from throwing a baseball to writing a letter, and how the skeletal structure gives us the support and strength to perform these tasks. A healthy balance of anatomy lesson and fun facts, this book will fascinate students with the complexity of body structures that they may take for granted.
