Image description

Recto: five studies of the muscles of the back and shoulder labelled 1st to 5th, showing a sequence of dissection from superficial to deep. At lower right is one of Leonardo’s ‘thread diagrams’, combining the previous five drawings into a single schematic depiction, with each muscle represented by a cord along its line of action. Leonardo understood that for almost every muscle acting on a vertebra, another acts in the opposite direction, both effecting movement and stabilising the spinal column.
