Exploring Cat Muscular Anatomy Through Dissection

What is the primary purpose of conducting a cat dissection?

• To isolate the muscles in the cat

• To study the cat's skeletal system

• To examine the cat's digestive system

• To observe the cat's nervous system

Which of the following is NOT part of the protective equipment needed for the dissection?

• Lab coat

• Gloves

• Goggles

• Face mask

What type of connective tissue is described as 'spider Webby' and needs to be removed to reveal muscle fibers?

• Cartilage

• Dense regular connective tissue

• Areolar tissue

• Adipose tissue

Why is it important to use the side of the forceps instead of pinching perpendicular to the surface?

• To avoid damaging the muscle fibers

• To prevent the forceps from breaking

• To make the process faster

• To remove more tissue at once

What is the main goal of removing connective tissue during the dissection?

• To expose the cat's bones

• To reveal the muscle fibers

• To find the cat's organs

• To clean the cat's skin

Which muscle is identified by its striped pattern and is located in the chest?

• Triceps brachii

• Biceps brachii

• Latissimus dorsi

• Pectoralis major

What is the correct method to isolate the pectoralis minor muscle?

• Cutting perpendicular to the muscle fibers

• Cutting parallel to the orientation of the muscle fibers

• Cutting along the point of insertion

• Cutting along the point of origin

Which muscle group is revealed by bisecting the Sartorius muscle in the leg?

• Hamstrings

• Quadriceps

• Calf muscles

• Gluteal muscles

What is the primary function of the erector spinae muscles?

• Assisting in breathing

• Supporting the abdominal organs

• Maintaining posture

• Facilitating arm movement

Which muscle is located along the shoulder blade and is part of the trapezius group?

• Clavo trapezius

• Acromo trapezius
