Muscle Anatomy

Here is an easy to use, ready reference of every muscle in your body.

Origin, insertion, action, nerve supply, and arterial blood supply is conveniently listed for each and every muscle.

From the home page you can select an alphabetical list of muscles in each major body region (head and neck, back, thorax, abdomen, etc).

Search muscles by name, action, origin, insertion, nerve or blood supply. Or just browse the list in it's entirety.

Create a favorites list of muscles you look up most often, need to remember for a test, or refer to when working with patients.

After several years of teaching anatomy and studying muscles as a medical student, I compiled this list. It is the most comprehensive list of muscles and related info that I have seen in any one place.

The idea for this app was born while dissecting cadavers with other medical and physical therapy students. Finding origin and insertion info always seemed to involve searching through various charts in multiple atlases and texts. I hope that this app will contribute to an easier muscle data search for beginners, students and professionals.
