Your goal is to create a miniature model of the body showing the location of the muscles of the body. Using your labs, color sheets and flash cards as a reference, you will cut out muscles from the colored sheets of paper and add them to your “Poster”. It is important that you place them in the correct places on the body, attaching them to the proper condyles, etc. You will label the muscles and then list the actions in the margins of your papers. Take care to get the correct lengths, widths, and shapes as you cut out your muscles. Also be sure to note the “layering order” of muscles so you place them down correctly.
