This book is an anatomical study containing 149 photographs of the living subject, male and female. Its purpose is to kindle the student's enthusiasm in examining the living body for himself, indeed to divert him from textual descriptions, so that he will learn more quickly and more confidently, by studying the living muscles in action. It is a book not only for medical students, graduates and teachers, but also for artists and for experts in physical training.
