Photographic and Descriptive Musculoskeletal Atlas of Orangutans : With Notes on the Attachments, Variations, Innervations, Function and Synonymy and Weight of the Muscles

Orangutans, together with chimpanzees and gorillas, are our closest living relatives. Photographic and Descriptive Musculoskeletal Atlas of Orangutans, the first photographic and descriptive musculoskeletal atlas of the genus Pongo, adopts the same format as the photographic atlases of Gorilla, Pan and Hylobates previously published by the same authors. These four books are part of a series of monographs that will set out the comparative and phylogenetic context of the gross anatomy and evolutionary history of the soft tissue morphology of modern humans and their closest relatives. The present Content: Introduction and aims -- Methodology and material -- Head and neck musculature -- Mandibular musculature -- Hyoid musculature -- Branchial musculature -- Hypobranchial musculature -- Extra-ocular musculature -- Pectoral and upper limb musculature -- Trunk and back musculature -- Diaphragmatic and abdominal musculature -- Perineal, coccygeal and anal musculature -- Pelvic and lower limb musculature -- Appendix I: Literature including information about the muscles of orangutans -- Appendix II: Literature cited, not including information about the muscles of orangutans.
