Produktbeschreibung

"Even though the gorilla is our closest living relative, information about its anatomy, and particularly its musculature, is scarce. This book is the first photographic and descriptive musculoskeletal atlas of the gorilla. It includes high-quality photographs of musculoskeletal structures from most anatomical regions of the body, along with textual information about the attachments, innervations, and weight of the reported muscles. The atlas is an up-to-date review of the anatomical variations within gorillas as well as an extensive list of the synonyms used in the literature to designate the structures covered in the book. It also contains dissection observations of other primates and vertebrates, which are crucial for examining and understanding the homologies between the muscular structures of gorillas, humans, and other taxa"--

This first photographic Atlas of the Gorilla includes numerous detailed high-quality images of musculoskeletal structures from most anatomical regions of the body along with annotations on the attachments, innervations and weight of reported muscles. Based on original dissections as well as reviews of previously published literature, it provides an updated review of the anatomical variations within gorillas as well as an extensive list of the synonyms used in the literature. Finally, it examines the origin, evolution, and homologies between the muscular structures of gorillas, humans, and other taxa.
