Understanding muscle connections, insertions, and ligament attachments is essential for mastering human anatomy. Medical students often study models like antique skeletons, which are painted to highlight these key features. These detailed representations help learners visualize how muscles attach to bones, where ligaments connect joints, and how all these structures work together to produce movement and stability. By examining these connections on a physical model, students can gain a clearer un
