FROM THE FOREWORD
Art anatomy is the understanding of the architecture and construction of the human figure. It consists of, first, the bones which form the foundation of man, in common with all mammals. Second, the muscles which when contracted move the framework or skeleton. Third, the action which such movement assumes.
Each of the above three are again broken down in this fashion. The individual bones of the skeleton varies greatly in length, breadth, thickness and curvature. This governs proportion.
