Content Quality
Rating:
Strengths:
The whimsical humor at he beginning ? life without muscles (shows skeleton collapsing). A convenient, accessible reference listing of all muscle of the body
Concerns:
The material could be obtained by using a reference book on muscles. Other than the brief humor at the beginning (what happens when you have no muscles), the presentation is about the same as you could get in a simple textbook. No effort appears to put the muscles together, such as to contrast flexion and extension, etc.
