Upper Body!

Now I have research the whole upper body (minus head and hands). I have used a new technique using drawings made by Brague with a similar image with a real model. The idea is to fill in the drawn image with the correct muscles. The drawing shows great silhouette of the body where muscles overlap and intersect by having a simple line crossing another. This gave me enough information to place all the muscles on the body.

For the Arm muscles there are several section of muscles that I had to learn and locate. First set of muscles were the Triceps with the 3 different sections, being medial, lateral and long head of the triceps. The Extensor muscles that are found on the lateral side when the palm is facing forward and then the Flexors on the medial side which.

The Extensor muscles consist of the Extensor carpi radialis longus, Extensor carpi radialis Brevis, Extensor Digiti Minimi, Extensor Carpi Ulnaris and finally Extensor pollicis brevis and longus. All these muscles form the lateral side of the forearm. A nice fact is that there is a muscle named the Brachioradilais longus runs along side the Extensor carpi radialis longus and appear that they form one muscle that is noticable on everyones arms (labelled 11 in the image above).
