RE: Help with A&P Questions please
Hi Sonne13, I can recommend a really good book called 'The concise book of muscles' by Chris Jarmey. It was the best money I have spent , it gives you good clear pictures, origin,insertion,action, nerve,basic functional movement. for most of the muscles I needed to learn for the ITEC A&P.
in answer to a couiple of questions. muscle used when coughing is transversus abdominis. muscle when turning a door handle or screwdriver. supinator. or turning a doorknob.pronator teres.
Good luck in your exams. I taking my final A&P tomoro morning....help!!!!

Hi Andrea,
Thank you very much for your help. This book sounds fantastic - will try to get it today - thanks again.
And good luck with your A&P this morning. Will be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed. Let us know how you got along.
Good luck!
Son:)
RE: Help with A&P Questions please
Hi Sonne13,
I too would recommend that book that Andrea has mentioned - it lists a lot of the everyday actions of muscles and has excellent diagrams.
The book that we were given for studying for the ITEC A & P Diploma is by Louise Tucker and is an Introductory Guide to A & P. The answers to most of your questions can be found in there. That is the book that most of the ITEC questions come from.
Practice lots of past papers that you can find on this site as most of the questions keep getting repeated. I had seen practically all of my questions at some point on the past papers listed here when I came to sit my exam.
Good luck
Tranquillity
