Torso: Research

For this bit of research I drew over the skeletal images from the book. I wanted to break dow the torso and understand the placements of each muscle as for example the Pectoralis muscle is made up of three different heads that all start from different areas of the rib cage and land on different areas of the Humerus. First head derives from the Clavicle and attaches lowest down on the Humerus of the three. Second is the sternal section that attaches in the middle, with the third section of the muscle that attaches to the Abdominal Fasiciuli. These sections overlap and intercept eachother. I will show the result that this causes over real reference.

The Abdominal Muscles are a very interesting set of muscles. The Rectus Abdominis is attaches on the fifth rib with the External Oblique attaching to a big long tenderise sheet called the Abdominal Fasiciuli which go underneath the Rectus Abdominis.

































Here are some great images from the ages that show the construction of the torso. Da Vinci shows the construction well of the Pectoralis muscles.
