Muscles

Master Muscle List
"This list represents a quick and easy reference for accessing information on the origin, insertion, nerve supply, and action of a given muscle." Created by the Loyola University Medical Education Network.
Muscle Atlas
The Musculoskeletal Atlas contains more than 80 anatomical images of upper and lower extremities. Please see the Copyright statement for information regarding academic and education usage of these images.
Musculosekeletal MRI
"MRI is particularly well suited for the medical evaluation of the musculoskeletal (MSK) system including the knee, shoulder, ankle, wrist and elbow. Injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament, meniscus and rotator cuff tears are all easily diagnosed when there is a firm understanding and knowledge of human anatomy. It includes a very simplified approach to the mri imaging sequences and the thought process behind why we use those sequences. Images are stacked for scrolling so that they can be viewed in the same way a radiologist would view them while evaluating a patient."
