Bones, ligaments, and muscles are the structures that form
levers in the body to create human movement. In simple terms, a
joint (where two or more bones join together) forms the axis (or
fulcrum), and the muscles crossing the joint apply the force to
move a weight or resistance. Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition, is
created expressly for those who will work in physical activity
fields. Ideal for learning structural anatomy and how it affects
movement, the text systematically assembles each component of
the human body from bones and joints to nerves and blood
vessels. Created primarily for those who will work in physical
activity fields, the third edition of Kinetic Anatomy continues
to build on its previous editions to assert itself as the ideal
resource for learning structural anatomy and how it affects
movement. The text gives students a firm concept of
musculoskeletal anatomy by systematically assembling each
component of the human body. Layer by layer, readers will study
bones, ligaments, joints, and muscle
