About This Book
This series of brilliant photographs shows the dissection of the cat musculature. It is designed for use in conjunction with the third edition of Hyman's Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, edited by Marvalee Wake, although it can be used with other textbooks. Every possible step has been taken to make the photographs easy to interpret and to follow. Reference indications to the Wake texts are included, and also concise data on the origin, insertion, and action of each muscle. The scale is such that in most cases no more than five muscles are shown per photograph, thus simplifying the task of visualizing the individual muscles. An invaluable aid for every student of cat anatomy.

CAT MUSCULATURE: A PHOTOGRAPHIC ATLAS
This guide coincides with the organization of the material in Hyman's Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, third edition, edited by Marvalee Wake. Information on the origins, insertions, and actions of the muscles are also from Wake. Numbers following the names of individual muscles refer to plates in this atlas.
Pectoral Girdle and Forelimb Muscles
Superficial Chest Muscles (pages 355 and 356 in Wake)

Action: Draws arm towards chest
Pectoralis major 2, 15
Origin: Sternum and median ventral raphe
Insertion: Pectoral ridge on ventral side of humerus
Action: Draws arm towards chest
Pectoralis minor 2, 15
Origin: Sternum
Insertion: Ventral side of humerus, distal to pectoralis major
Action: Drawn arm toward chest
Xiphihumeralis 2, 15

Action: Draws clavicle dorsad and craniad
Levator scapulae ventralis 3
Origin: Transverse process of atlas and occipital bone
Insertion: Metacromion process of scapula and neighboring fascia
Action: Draws scapula craniad
