Levers work to create movement in the human body
Bones, ligaments, and muscles are the structures that form levers in the body to create human movement. In simple terms, a joint (where two or more bones join together) forms the axis (or fulcrum), and the muscles crossing the joint apply the force to move a weight or resistance.

Peripheral nervous system works to reflexively control the body
The autonomic nervous system has two specific systems within it: the sympathetic (also known as the thoracolumbar system) and parasympathetic (also known as the craniosacral system).

Many ligaments make up knee’s structure
Like all synovial joints, the knee joint has a capsular ligament.

Created primarily for those who will work in physical activity fields, the third edition of Kinetic Anatomy continues to build on its previous editions to assert itself as the ideal resource for learning structural anatomy and how it affects movement. The text gives students a firm concept of musculoskeletal anatomy by systematically assembling each component of the human body. Layer by layer, readers will study bones, ligaments, joints, and muscles on the bones, as well as the nerves and blood vessels that supply these muscles that are essential for movement.
Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition, includes coverage of three major structures that are not often considered when studying the anatomy of movement: the brain, heart, and lungs. As the centerpieces for the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems, these structures are essential to human movement and are highlighted throughout the text where appropriate. In addition, other fundamental features make this resource a valuable tool for learning and teaching human anatomy: - A one-year subscription to Musculoskeletal Anatomy Review, an online anatomy program, provides an interactive forum for reviewing regional structural anatomy.
- A new chapter on the head completes the regional approach followed in the text.
- More information on muscle and motor units helps broaden information on movement potential in selected sport activities.
- Expanded discussion on joint strength and movement and the function of muscles (agonists, antagonists, stabilizers, and synergists), levers, and exercise supports understanding of how the human body is constructed.
- Full-color photos and illustrations enhance the learning experience.
- New Functional Movement Exercises provide students with the opportunity for practical application of their studies by asking them to identify the prime mover, antagonist, fixator, and synergist muscle in a particular movement.
- Hands On exercises throughout the book offer students practice in physically identifying anatomical structures on themselves or on a partner.
Included with each new text is a key code allowing students one-year access to the online anatomy program Musculoskeletal Anatomy Review. This engaging supplement to the text offers a regional review of structural anatomy with exceptionally detailed, high-quality graphic images—the majority provided by Primal Pictures. Students can mouse over muscles and click for muscle identification, and each chapter features a pretest and posttest evaluation to help students pinpoint knowledge gaps and test their retention. The pretest can be taken multiple times and is generated randomly so it will never be the same, but the posttest may be taken only once. Test results can be printed and turned in so instructors have the option to use the tests as a grading tool.
To further facilitate learning, each chapter in the book concludes with a review of the key terms referred to in the chapter, suggested learning activities, and review questions in multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank formats. The answers to the questions are provided at the end of the book. For instructors, a new image bank accompanies the updated instructor guide and test package to aid in delivering the course content.
Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition, is an outstanding introductory resource for those who plan to specialize in any field related to physical activity. Readers will learn what structures are involved in movement and how those structures should function, allowing them to identify problems and correct them to enhance physical activity.

About the Author
Undergraduate students taking an introductory course in structural
anatomy, including those studying exercise science, kinesiology, sports
medicine, or physical education; secondary school students studying
human anatomy; also a reference for professionals requiring knowledge of
anatomy pertaining to human movement.
Robert S. Behnke, HSD, is retired after 39 years of teaching
anatomy, kinesiology, physical education, and athletic training courses.
Behnke has been honored on several occasions for excellence in
teaching—including receiving the Educator of the Year Award from the
National Athletic Trainers' Association. During his 11-year tenure as
chair of the NATA Professional Education Committee, he initiated the
petition to the American Medical Association that led to the national
accreditation process for entry-level athletic training education
programs.
Dr. Behnke spent most of his career at Indiana State University, where
he was a full professor of physical education and athletic training and
director of undergraduate and graduate athletic training programs.
Earlier in his career he spent five years teaching at the secondary
level. He has extensive experience as an athletic trainer, both in high
schools and at the university level, serving as head athletic trainer at
Illinois State University from 1966 to 1969 and the University of
Illinois from 1969 to 1973. He was an athletic trainer at the 1983 World
University Games and for the U.S. men's Olympic basketball trials in
1984. During sabbaticals in 1982 and 1989, he served as an athletic
trainer for boxing, men's field hockey, team handball, ice skating,
roller hockey, gymnastics, judo, and cycling at the United States
Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. He has been in demand as a
speaker and an athletic trainer throughout the United States and
internationally.
These broad experiences enabled Dr. Behnke to understand the needs of
undergraduate students—and to develop an unparalleled grasp of which
pedagogical approaches work and which do not. Kinetic Anatomy is
the culmination of his unique understanding; it should be a staple in
undergraduate courses for years to come.
“The author displays a great deal of knowledge and an even better
understanding of the subject, and is able to present the information
very specifically in a way that is easy to understand.”
