Description
SOBOTTA TABLES OF MUSCLES, JOINTS AND NERVES 4TH ED
Book Summary
This fourth edition of the Sobotta tables is an essential didactic tool for the study of human anatomy. In a single, practical, spiral-bound volume, the reader will find a comprehensive and systematized compilation of information on muscles, joints, and nerves. Organized by body region, the content is supported by schematic illustrations that facilitate the understanding of the location and function of each structure. Updated with the latest from the 25th edition of the Sobotta Atlas of Human Anatomy, this table workbook is a quick and effective reference resource for students and professionals.
What is it about?
The book presents the study of three fundamental anatomical systems in a structured and consistent manner. For muscles, each entry includes a colored drawing of the muscle in question and consistently details its origin (O), insertion (I), and function (F). In the case of joints, the name, type, and movements allowed are specified, accompanied by illustrations with axes and planes for a clear biomechanical understanding. Nerves are addressed in two ways: cranial nerves are grouped in a final section, while the others are integrated into their corresponding body region (for example, the nerves of the brachial plexus in the upper limb), distinguishing between their motor and sensory innervation. The work is organized into five main regions: head, neck, trunk, upper limb, and lower limb, and uses bold type to highlight the most relevant anatomical terms.
Main Topics
- Muscle anatomy: origin, insertion, and function by body region.
- Classification and biomechanics of joints: type, axes, and planes of movement.
- Anatomy of the peripheral nervous system: motor and sensory innervation.
- Detailed study of the cranial nerves.
- Topographic organization of the human body into head, neck, trunk, and extremities.
Who is it recommended for?
This book is aimed at students of medicine, physical therapy, nursing, sports science, and any health science discipline that requires solid knowledge of musculoskeletal and neurological anatomy. It is also a quick and effective reference tool for healthcare professionals who need to review or verify specific anatomical data in their daily clinical practice.
