How to learn all muscles with quizzes and labeled diagrams
So, you want to learn about human muscle anatomy. But where to start?! The number of muscles of the body is estimated to be around 600, so there’s certainly a lot to cover.
A good way to get started is to learn using a regional approach. For example, starting by learning the muscles of the upper extremity, then the muscles of the lower extremity, and so on. Keep reading to discover our favorite tools for learning this topic.

Human body muscle diagrams
Muscle diagrams are a great way to get an overview of all of the muscles within a body region. Studying these is an ideal first step before moving onto the more advanced practices of muscle labeling and quizzes.
If you're looking for a speedy way to learn muscle anatomy, look no further than our anatomy crash courses.
Let’s take a look at how you can use muscle diagrams for maximum benefit.
Labeled diagram
View the muscles of the upper and lower extremity in the diagrams below. Use the location, shape and surrounding structures to help you memorize each muscle. Once you’re feeling confident, it’s time to test yourself.
