Lost Under the Skin?

March 24, 2010 By 3 Comments

Are you bewildered by anatomy? Do you keep getting lost in the maze of nerves, muscles, tendons, vessels, bones and ligaments?

Never fear, help is at hand in the form of Sam Loman‘s human body ‘subway’ map.

Never get lost again.

    Ha saw this image awhile ago, it's pretty cool. I would hope that no one actually uses this as an anatomy road map though, as this schematic seems to have some abnormal anatomical variations.

    I'd have to agree Aaron! 'Musculetal' is a new word for me too ;-)

    Anatomical variations are a problem for any anatomy guide map -- and why the anonymous surgeon I quoted is correct -- things are never quite where textbooks say they should be! (or it's missing… or there are more of them than there should be…)
