Oh, are you struggling with learning anatomy? We got the ★ Ultimate Anatomy Study Guide ★ to help you kick some gluteus maximus in any topic. Completely free. Download yours today: khub.me/jnk1m
In this video tutorial we will take a look at how the names of the muscles of the human body are derived. Learning and understanding the terminology and definition of anatomical terms is one of the most basic skills every student needs to acquire, so they can describe and discuss anatomical issues in lectures and courses with other students or lecturers in a precise fashion.
We will take a closer look and give examples for how muscles are named after their shape, size, muscle fibre orientation, action, and more, so you will become fluent in talking about the different aspects of the muscular system.

Hello Kenhub, I'm not from Usa or Europe. In Turkey 190€ is a considerable amount of money and unfortunately I've met people who'd kill someone for 190€. I think you should set your prices for different regions so more people can benefit your application. Thanks for reading and latin nomenclature :)
