Muscles that we will study in the cat dissection Below are listed the muscles you must be able to identify on the cat lab practical exam following dissection. Completing the chart will help to identify them on your cat as you dissect. You are required to know the origins, insertions and actions of these muscles. To get ready for dissection you should complete the chart including the origins, insertions and actions for each muscle. Also, cut and paste a picture of the dissected muscle onto the chart (find this on the web). This is independent work; while documents will look similar, no two documents should be the same. The chart is due on Wednesday December 1st by class. Also, bring a printed copy for use when we dissect, after Christmas. Go to these websites for information and pictures, you will need to use more than one to get all your information and pictures. http://www.saddleback.edu/faculty/charrison/smmuscles.html http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/ap/cat_dissect/cat_demo/index.html http://bio.bd.psu.edu/cat/Muscular_System/index.htm http://homes.bio.psu.edu/people/faculty/strauss/anatomy/musc/muscular.htm Muscle Origin Insertion Action Muscle Origin Insertion radial tuberosity Action Biceps brachii coracoid process, supraglenoid tubercle flexes elbow, supinates forearm Biceps femoris ischial tuberosity and femur tibia and fibula extends thigh, flexes knee Brachialis distal anterior humerus coronoid process of ulna flexes forearm Muscle Origin Insertion Action Compresses abdominal contents, assists in flexion and rotation of vertebral column Plantar flexes the foot External obliques Lower eight ribs Linea alba, aponeurosis of the external abdominal oblique Gastrocnemius Lateral and medial condyle of the femur calcaneus Gluteus maximus Posterior ilium, sacrum, and coccyx Iliotibial tract, fluteal tuberosity of femur Extends and laterally rotates hip Muscle Origin Insertion Action Gracilis Inferior ramus and body of the pubis Medial surface of tibia Adducts thigh at hip; flexes leg at knee Infraspinatus Infraspinous fossa of scapula Greater tubercle of the humerus Laterally rotates arm Internal obliques Lumbodorsal fascia, iliac crest Linea alba, aponeurosis of internal oblique Same as external oblique Latissimus dorsi Lumbodorsal fascia via thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, ilium Intertuburcular groove of the humerus Extends, adducts, and medially rotates arm Muscle Origin Insertion Action Masseter Zygomatic arch mandible Elevates mandible Pectoantebrachialis (not found in humans) Manubrium of sternum Fascia of forearm Adducts forelimb Pectoralis major Sternum.
