Study Notes
Cat Muscles Identification
- Gluteus Medius: Located on the lateral surface of the pelvis; important for hip abduction.
- Gluteus Maximus: The largest muscle of the gluteal group; essential for hip extension and outward rotation.
- Caudofemoralis: Found in the tail region; assists with tail movement and hip extension.
- Gastrocnemius: Major calf muscle; contributes to knee flexion and plantarflexion of the foot.
- Soleus: Positioned beneath the gastrocnemius; plays a crucial role in standing and walking.
- Semitendinosus: Part of the hamstring group; aids in hip extension and knee flexion.
- Semimembranosus: Another hamstring muscle; supports hip extension and knee flexion.
- Biceps Femoris: Largest hamstring muscle with two parts; involved in knee flexion and lateral rotation.
- Sartorius: Longest muscle in the body; aids in hip and knee flexion, allowing cross-legged sitting.
- Gracilis: Medial thigh muscle; assists in hip adduction and flexion.
- Tensor Fascia Lata: Muscle located on the outer thigh; stabilizes the hip and knee during movement.
- Iliotibial Band: Connective tissue along the outer thigh; provides stability to the knee.
- Rectus Femoris: One of the quadriceps; essential for hip flexion and knee extension.
- Adductor Femoris: Important for hip adduction; located in the inner thigh.
- Adductor Longus: Also assists with hip adduction and is located anteriorly in the thigh.
- Pectineus: Located in the upper part of the thigh; aids in hip flexion and adduction.
- Vastus Lateralis: Largest component of the quadriceps; involved in knee extension.
- Vastus Medialis: Medial muscle of the quadriceps; contributes to knee stability and extension.
- Vastus Intermedius: Situated beneath the rectus femoris; helps in knee extension.
- Rectus Abdominis: Known as the abdominal muscle; vital for trunk flexion and posture.
- External Abdominal Oblique: Superficial muscle aiding in trunk rotation and flexion.
- Internal Abdominal Oblique: Lies beneath the external oblique; supports abdominal compression.
- Pectoantebrachialis: Muscle in the chest; helps in adduction of the forelimb.
- Transversus Abdominis: Deepest abdominal muscle; crucial for core stability.
- Pectoralis Major: Major chest muscle; essential for shoulder movement and adduction.
- External Intercostals: Muscles between the ribs; assist in inhalation by expanding the thoracic cavity.
- Internal Intercostals: Located beneath the external intercostals; involved in forced exhalation.
- Latissimus Dorsi: Large back muscle; responsible for arm extension, adduction, and rotation.
- Clavotrapezius: Upper muscle of the trapezius group; aids in elevating and retracting the scapula.
- Clavodeltoid: Located in the shoulder; assists in arm abduction and flexion.
- Acromiotrapezius: Central muscle of the trapezius group; stabilizes the scapula.
- Acromiodeltoid: Part of the deltoid group; assists in arm abduction.
- Spinotrapezius: Lower trapezius muscle; aids in retracting the scapula.
- Spinodeltoid: Muscle located behind the shoulder; involved in arm movement.
- Levator Scapulae Ventralis: Elevates the scapula; contributes to neck and shoulder movement.
- Supraspinatus: Located above the spine of the scapula; involved in shoulder abduction.
- Infraspinatus: Positioned below the spine of the scapula; assists in lateral rotation of the arm.
- Subscapularis: Internal rotator of the shoulder; located on the anterior side of the scapula.
- Teres Major: Located near the latissimus dorsi; aids in arm rotation and adduction.
- Rhomboideus: Muscle between the scapula and spine; retracts and stabilizes the scapula.
- Serratus Ventralis: Important for scapular movement; helps in protraction and upward rotation.
- Triceps Brachii Long Head: Largest head of the triceps; assists in elbow extension.
- Triceps Brachii Lateral Head: Situated on the outer aspect of the arm; aids in elbow extension.
- Biceps Brachii: Prominent upper arm muscle; important for elbow flexion and forearm supination.
- Brachialis: Located beneath the biceps; primarily responsible for elbow flexion.
- Xiphihumeralis: A muscle in the chest; assists in the movement of the forelimb.
