Entire Muscular System

Description

Presented as a full-body female myology plate with skin removed, the figure brings anterior torso and limb muscles into clear relief, from the sternocleidomastoid and muscles of facial expression superiorly to the tibialis anterior and intrinsic muscles of the feet inferiorly. Across the shoulder girdle, the deltoid caps the glenohumeral region laterally while pectoralis major spans from the clavicle and sternum to the proximal humerus, with serratus anterior digitations tracking along the lateral ribs. In the trunk, rectus abdominis runs vertically on either side of the linea alba, flanked by the obliques, and the iliopsoas crosses the anterior hip to insert on the lesser trochanter deep to the more superficial thigh compartments. Fiber direction is explicit. A colored overlay indicates mammary tissue superficial to the pectoral fascia. That breast overlay matters in practice because the mammary gland sits anterior to pectoralis major and its fascia, with common surgical planes for mastectomy and implant pocket creation either subglandular or subpectoral, each changing how the pectoralis major is elevated and how animation deformity can occur. Regional relationships also support safe procedural teaching: deltoid thickness and its lateral positioning inform intramuscular injection site selection, while the close superficial course of the facial mimetic muscles underpins botulinum toxin mapping and avoidance of unintended ptosis. Use this plate for gross anatomy and surface anatomy labs when you need students to connect palpable landmarks to underlying muscle bellies, tendons, and compartment boundaries across the entire body. It also fits well in myology chapters, surgical approach overviews (breast, shoulder, anterior hip), and patient-facing education on muscle strain patterns and rehabilitation targets.
