Moore and Dalley has a great section on the upper limb.

http://www.visembryo.com/ ...quite a good site for embryology.

Moore and Dalley have a great section on everything, best anatomy book out there by far.

yeh moore and dally is great for explaining things!Weighs a tonne though!Came across a great interactive (FREE) website that demonstrates muscles of the upper limb and what muscles are active during abduction, adduction, flexion etc. of arm, forearm and wrist.
Here's the link.

I'm sure UCD have a subscription to Primal Pictures? Just use that, the animations are a lot nicer and it shows the actual movement of each muscle as well.

This is incredibly useful for testing your origin, insertion, action, supply http://www.getbodysmart.com/ap/muscularsystem/armmuscles/anteriormuscles/pectoralismajor/tutorial.html click quiz at the top and then you have to type it in, and then you can move through the muscles by clicking next at the top!

oh while we are sharing sites etc....recommend you all sign up to this free forum called xenomed. A great forum for med students and doctors with some really good areas for med students. Got loads of sample answered MCQ biochem and physiology questions!

I remember there was a "baby" version of Moore which I felt was a much more accessible textbook than the big version.

Editions and covers have changed since I was dissecting but I *think* this is the current baby edition.

Netter's Atlas is a great aid for those who prefer images to text!
