The shoulder muscle on side/top

long stretch of muscle, could be above or below pectoralis major

Pectoralis Major (Anterior shoulder and chest)

Under or above the pectoantebrachialis, triangle shape, have to feel for it

Pectoralis minor (Anterior shoulder and chest)

Under the Pectoralis Major

External Oblique (Abdominal Muscles)

The flap of skin that was cat on the side

Rectus abdominis (abdominal muscles)

the middle line of the stomach

Sartorius (saar·taw·ree·is) (Anterior hind limb muscles)

Right leg, the thigh chunk of it

Gracilis (gruh·si·luhs) look for video how to pronounce,, (Anterior hind limb muscles)

Near inner but more outer thigh like near private area

Semitendenosus (sem-i-ten-di-no-sus) (Anterior hind limb muscles)

cuff of like thigh but for cat but still on it but not exactly inside

Tibialis anteror (Anterior hind limb muscles)

think of shin/tibia bone but for cat, just select the middle

Bicep femoris (feh-MOR-iss) (Posterior Hind limb Muscles)

middle of thigh (shows outer part of leg), use the one that is not cut or you can use the cut side depends

Gastrocnemius (gas-trok-NEE-mee-us) (Posterior Hind limb Muscles)

Use the side that has hole, think of the fibula, the calf of the cat

Vastus lateralis (hindlimb superficial or deep muscle)

cat’s right leg but when looking at it, it will be my left, think of long muscle above the knee like the side of the humerous part lateral away from the middle

Clavotrapezius (Posterior shoulder and back muscles)

The neck muscle on the side, bar, muscle that goes down from neck to side

Acromiodeltoid (Posterior shoulder and back muscles)

below the clavotrapezius, the left side of it, when cat is on its side, left side up, right side down, above spinodeltoid

Acromeotrapezius (Posterior shoulder and back muscles)

beneath the clavotrapezius and the right side to the acromiodletoid

Spinodeltoid (Posterior shoulder and back muscles)

Beneath the acromiodeltoid, right above the armpit of cat

Spinotrapezius (Posterior shoulder and back muscles)

under the acromeotrapezius, look for the dark ball

Latissimus dorsi (luh·ti·suh·muhs dor·see) (Posterior shoulder and back muscles)

The flap of skin on the side of the belly, maybe uncut side"? its just the side as the posterior shoulder and back muscles

Brachioradialis (brah-kee-oh-ray-dee-AH-luhs) (Posterior forelimb muscles)

outer arm, point to the more outer thing that links to the bicep, the curve

Extensor carpi radialis brevis (ik-STEN-ser KAR-pi ray-dee-AH-lis BREH-vis) (Posterior forelimb muscles)

point to the midde of the outer arm where the dip is at

Extensor carpi ulnaris (Posterior forelimb muscles)

the outer stretch of skin the pinky side

Triceps brachii long head (brey-kee-eye) (Posterior forelimb muscles)

The bottom of the arm, below the tricep bracii lateral head

Triceps brachii lateral head (Posterior forelimb muscles)

the long elbow part bewlow the brachioradialis, extensor carpi ulnaris and radialis brevis

Epitrochelaris (EP-i-TRO-CLE-AR-is) (Anterior forelimb muscles)

think of chicken wing flap, the small kidney on the arm flap

Palmaris longus (Anterior forelimb muscles)

The middle part of arm facing upwards

Flexor carpi ulnaris (Anterior forelimb muscles)

point slightly above the elbow

Flexor carpi radialis (Anterior forelimb muscles)

between the outer flap and muscle sticking out from the top

Digastric (Neck muscles)

open the flaps of skin on the neck and think of the upside down V shape

Mylohyoid (neck muscles)

the white circular dot is the mylohyoid?

Masseter (neck muscle)

Find the ball in the back

sternohyoid (STER-no-HY-oid) (neck muscle)

the middle part where its in pair, pick one of them, just do the right side

Sternomastoid (neck muscle)

above the cleidomastoid, look for v

Cleidomastoid (neck muscle)

below the sternomastoid, look for another v or flap of skin

Internal oblique (abdominal muscles)

the cut side, the side, dark

Transverse abdominis (abdominal muscles)

The right side of theinternal oblique, lift the flap of skin

Intercostals (chest muscles)

The rib area, have to lift flap of skin

Bicep brachii (anterior forelimb)

under the flap, next to 2 promininent lined muscles to the left of it

Teres major (shouldera dn back)

below it is the infraspinatus and so think of above the ball

Teres minor (shoulder and back)

to the right of the infraspinatus, like middle part of the elbow?

Infraspinatus (in-fra-spy-NAY-tus) (shoulder and bakc)

dark ball in the shoulder below the teres major and to the left of the teres minor

Supraspinatus (soo-pruh-spahy-NAY-tus) (shoudler and back)

below the infraspinatus

Serratus anterior ( shoulder and back deep muscle)

Think of fan shape

Vastus medialis (hindlimb deep muscle)

most inner part towards the groin, the tibia part but just towards the groin

Plantaris (Hindlimb deep muscle)

the part of the fibia away, lateral from the midline, use the cut side

Soleus (so-lee-us) (Hindlimb deep muscle) l

look at the cut part of the leg, the side closer to the midline

Abductor femoris (Hindlimb deep muscle)

innermost part where the skin is cut
