Book VI: 
Neuromusculoskeletal Development and Integration

Home

---

Book VI details the development and integration of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems. It begins with the cranial nerves and proceeds down the nervous system, including anatomical drawings of the upper and lower limbs, cell division/segmentation, and repeated reference to the dermatomes. The book concludes with looks at the double spiral, erect posture, twisting, sitting, squatting, and walking.
