The Myology section is dedicated to the study of the human muscular system, from its development to complex biomechanics. Here we break down not only the origins and insertions of muscles, but also critical topographical structures essential for clinical practice.
The material covers all body regions. You will study the superficial and deep muscles of the back, chest, and abdomen, including the diaphragm and the internal topography of the anterior abdominal wall. The musculature of the head and neck is covered in detail (facial muscles, muscles of mastication, triangles of the neck), along with the anatomy of the upper and lower extremities—from the shoulder girdle to the short extensors of the toes. Special attention is paid to fascial nodes: palmar tendon sheaths, aponeuroses, and fasciae.
In practical classes and exams, topography is tested most rigorously. Pay special attention to the inguinal canal, the rectus sheath, the triangles of the neck, the contents of the cubital fossa, and the canals of the lower extremity. Understanding these structures is your foundation for a successful transition to topographical anatomy and operative surgery.
