We will take a closer look and give examples for how muscles are named after their shape, size, muscle fibre orientation, action, and more, so you will become fluent in talking about the different aspects of the muscular system.

Hello Kenhub, I'm not from Usa or Europe. In Turkey 190€ is a considerable amount of money and unfortunately I've met people who'd kill someone for 190€. I think you should set your prices for different regions so more people can benefit your application. Thanks for reading and latin nomenclature :)
