Volume 1 - Upper Extremity
Volume 1 puts your understanding of the upper extremity on a firm foundation. It has three sections: 1) the shoulder, 2) the arm and forearm, 3) the hand. Each section shows first the bones and the movements they can make, then the joints and the ligaments that limit their movements, and then the muscles and the movements they produce. Once these major structures are understood, the blood vessels and nerves are added to the picture.
The section on the shoulder includes structures that are essential to the upper extremity, but that are often taught as parts of either the trunk or the neck. These include the muscles that move the scapula, the brachial plexus, and the subclavian blood vessels.
