Flexor tarsi interior
Adductor longus
a tripartite fan-shaped muscle lying in the middle of the chest region
Pectoralis epicoracidea
Pectoralis sternalis
Pectoralis abdominis
Pectoralis muscle
a thin sheet of muscle crossing transversely the half of the jaw
Mylohyoid
Geniohyoid
External oblique
Temporalis
a large muscle obliquely traversing the lateral abdominal wall
Depressor mandibulae

Internal oblique
Latissimus dorsi
the middle part, whose belly is concealed by a small pocket like muscle, the cutaneous pectoralis.
Pectoralis sternalis
Rectus abdominis
Pectoralis epicoracidea
Pectoralis abdominis
a short muscle lying beneath the more dorsal part of the external oblique
External oblique
Temporalis
Internal oblique
Cucullaris
thick sheet of muscle crossing obliquely from the sternum to the proximal end of the radio-ulna. The distal end is covered by the scapulohumeralis muscle.
Sternoradialis
Mylohyoid
Geniohyoid
Sartorius
a very large (the largest) muscle with three heads covering the lateral side of the thigh, visible both ventrally and dorsally. Only one head, the vastus internus (medialis), is visible on the ventral aspect.
Triceps femoris
Gracilis minor
Adductor magnus
Tibialis anticus
the last and almost an independent muscle
Pectoralis epicoracidea
Pectoralis abdominis
Transversus abdominis
Pectoralis muscle
foremost muscle on the anterior side of the shank
Extensor cruris
Tibialis anticus
Biceps femoris/ Iliofiburalis
Triceps femoris
foremost part, next to Sternoradialis
Pectoralis sternalis
Pectoralis
Pectoralis epicoracidea
Pectoralis abdominis
a thin layer beneath the internal oblique muscle
Transversus abdominis
Pectoralis abdominis
Rectus abdominis
Abdominis
is the stout muscle lying between the Sartorius
Adductor longus
Tibialis anticus
Adductor magnus
Gracilis minor
a long, narrow muscle extending like a band along the medial surface of the thigh
Triceps femoris
Sartorius
Adductor longus
Flexor tarsi anterior
a thick muscle passing obliquely over the distal part of the Sternoradialis.
Triceps brachii
Scapulohumeralis or deltoideus
triceps femoris
Adductor magnus
a small slender muscle lying on the proximal half of the tibio-fibula, partially covered by the tibialis anticus.
Flexor tarsi anterior
Gracilis minor
Externsor
Extensor cruris
a large muscle lying at the posterior side of the upper arm; it is visible both ventrally and dorsally
Coccygeo-iliacus
Triceps brachii
Sartorius
Coccygeo-sacralis
a large flat muscle forming the posterior half of the medial surface of the thigh
Gracilis minor
Gracilis major
Iliolumbaris
Extensor cruris
a thin sheet of muscle crossing longitudinally the tip of the jaw from the hyoid. It lies underneath the mylohyoid, which must be deflected in order to see the muscle.
Vastus externus
Mylohyoid
Geniohyoid
Extensor
a much thinner muscle adhering to the posterior margin of the gracilis major, both have the same origin, insertion and action.
Adductor magnus
Rectus abdominis
Gracilis major
Gracilis minor
a slender muscle lying between the vastus internus and the Sartorius
Adductor magnus
Adductor longus
Adductor
longus
