Discipline: | Human Anatomy | Subject Definition: | Anatomy; Movement | NLM Class: | QS 4 | LC Class: | QP301 | Abstract: | Dynatomy: Dynamic Human Anatomy With Web Resource" brings to life the wonders of human movement and applied anatomy. The book is for students of human performance who have completed an introductory human anatomy course and need a strong text in functional anatomy. The entertaining and easy-to-understand text considers fundamental movements--including posture, walking, running, jumping, throwing, kicking, and lifting--together with selected exercise and sport movements. The emphasis of "Dynatomy "is on dynamic muscular motions rather than structural anatomy. Students benefit from a discussion of simple and complex human movements combined with an analysis of the muscles in motion. The text also introduces the muscle control formula and explains how students can use it to identify the ways in which muscles contract during various examples of human movement. Part I presents an overview of the anatomical foundations of movement and the essential requirements for movement control. Part II examines dynamic movements and basic mechanics, muscular function, fundamental movements, and specialized movements. The book is packed with features that will deepen students' appreciation of human movement: - A 5-month online subscription to "Interactive Functional Anatomy" provides an engaging method for reviewing structural anatomy. This web-based software features models derived from MRI scan data that can be rotated and allow for layers of anatomy to be visually removed, which will help students fully understand the movements of functional anatomy. ... The animations can be played and rotated, and all visible structures can be labeled. There are more than 70 examples of muscular function, including lateral flexion and rotation of the trunk, respiration, opening and closing of the lips, elevation and depression of the TMJ, and contraction of the pelvic floor. |
