Feline Anatomy and Muscle Functions

The video tutorial covers the anatomy of cat muscles, focusing on different regions such as the head, neck, dorsal and ventral trunk, forelimbs, and hind limbs. It highlights the differences in anatomical positions between cats and humans due to their different modes of locomotion. The tutorial also compares specific muscles in cats and humans, such as the masseter, sternomastoid, and serratus ventralis. The learning objectives include identifying cat muscles by region and understanding the differences between cat and human muscles.

What is the main difference in anatomical position between cats and humans?

• Cats have a ventral dorsum, while humans have a dorsal dorsum.

• Cats and humans have the same anatomical position.

• Cats have a posterior dorsum, while humans have a superior dorsum.

• Cats have a superior dorsum, while humans have a posterior dorsum.
