MUSCULAR SYSTEM - COLOUR IN TASK

Use the information presented in this and the previous web links to complete the Muscular System Colour In Task.

You are to cover all major muscle groups and major muscles used in human movement.

You are to locate, download and print the most suitable diagrams, (unlabled), of both the Posterior (back) and Anterior (front) views of the human body.

Colour code all major muscle groups and major muscles and lable either using a key or by using arrows.

This task has been developed to reinforce the learning and to assist us to commit to memory the major muscle groups and muscles in the human body that are use for movement.
