This illustrated medical stock image was originally published in Bouglé: Le corpus humain et grandeur naturelle: planches coloriées et superposées, avec texte explicatif. It depicts a male figure with skin removed exposing the bodies musculature. Some portions of the musculature are left out to reveal additional detail.

This picture depicts the muscular structure of a male human body. On seeing the specimen, I could first make out that it is basically for anatomical reason that we dissect a body in this manner while studying medicine. It is seen here that it some parts they have removed more muscles to show the inner muscles below it. The human body is basically a skeletal structure with internal organs, which are covered with muscles. It has a very clear overlapping pattern and in some places the bones are exposed. The upper and lower extremities are very clearly visible. It is clearly seen in the figure that the joints are the places where the muscles flare up or meet to form one a single structure. The neck region is dissected properly but the head region is left out .So the proper brain case is intact. Thus particular specimen is of great help to those who want to study, do research and want a detailed study of human musculature. By observing this we can also think that we should donate our body for a good cause and help enrich mankind. I somehow feel sympathetic towards the specimen but again if thought in a good realistic way we should feel happy for the person whose body has been dissected to show the musculature pattern of a human body. Keep up the good work.
