Volume 3 puts your understanding of the musculoskeletal anatomy
of the trunk on a firm foundation. It has four sections: 1) the
spine2) the thorax3) the abdomen4) the pelvis
Section 1 shows the vertebral column, the paraspinous muscles,
and the spinal cord. Section 2 shows the thorax as the structure
that contains the heart and lungs, including the dynamic anatomy of
respiratory movement. Sections 3 and 4 show the musculoskeletal
anatomy of the abdomen and pelvis, as the upper and lower parts of
the "container" for the abdominal and pelvic viscera. Sections 2, 3
and 4 also show the major blood vessels and nerves of their
respective regions.(The internal organs of the thorax, abdomen and
pelvis are shown in Volume 6.)
