EXPLANATION OF THE FRONTISPIECE 



A STUDY IN THE ANATOMY OF THE HUMAN BODY 



(Intended for Reference and Review Exercises.) 



Presenting Important Muscles, Arteries, Veins, Nerves, and also- a Few Organs of 

 the Chest and Abdomen. (Front view.) 



The frontispiece is a representation of the human body. The skin has 

 been removed. The bones and muscles that make up the front wall of 

 the chest and the muscles and fatty tissue that compose the front of the 

 abdomen have also been removed. 



On the left side of the figure (except chest and abdomen) only the skin 

 and fascia have been removed, showing the large veins of the head and neck 

 and also the principal superficial veins and nerves of the upper and lower 

 limbs. The outline of the tibia is also shown. 



On the right side of the figure (except chest and abdomen) a few large 

 muscles have been removed from the limbs, exposing other large muscles 

 and also important arteries, veins, and nerves. The arrangement of the 

 fascia about both knees is also shown. 



1. The muscles and tendons shown in the figure should be studied in 

 connection with the text of Chapter III. Compare muscles and tendons 

 of figure with those shown in Figs. 38, p. 49; 39, p. 50; 40, p. 51 ; and 

 42, p. 52. Note the display of tendons on right forearm, the palm of right 

 hand, the front of right leg, and the top of right foot. 



2. The arteries, represented in the figure, should be compared with 

 those in Figs. 83, p. 135; 84, p. 137; 85, p. 139; 91, p. 147; 92, p. 149; 

 97, p. 156; and 99, p. 158. 



3. Compare the veins in the figure with Figs. 84, p. 137, and 96, p. 155. 



4. The nerves should be studied in connection with the text of Chapter X. 

 Compare the superficial nerves in the figure with those shown in Figs. 142, 

 p. 226 ; 143, p. 227 ; 145, p. 231 ; 146, p. 232 ; 147, p. 235 ; and 148, p. 237. 



5. The heart and lungs and their great vessels, as shown in the thoracic 

 cavity, should be studied in connection with Chapters VII and VIII. 

 Compare with Figs. 83, p. 135 ; 84^.137; 85^.139; 89^.145; 92^.149; 

 100, p. 162; and 102, p. 164.

 various organs have been removed, exposing only the kidneys and great
