This flashcard set features the muscles of the shoulder and arm. I hope you find it helpful as you study muscle identification and their actions in lab. All muscle model photographs by Rob Swatski (2009-2010). Visit my iTunes U site for Anatomy podcasts and PDF files of all of my anatomy photo visual guides!
