Thigh/Hindleg (Posterior view, Tummy-side down)

superficial:
biceps femoris: 
deep:
gastrocnemius:


calcaneal (Achilles) tendon:

























deeper:
soleus:
 

Hindleg (Lateral view)

tibialis anterior:

Thigh/Hindleg/Groin (Anterior view, Tummy-side up)

Superficial:

Sartorius:


Gracilis:


Deep:
 
Tensor fascia lata (muscle):


Fascia lata (tendon):
 Fascia lata tendon is the white-ish membrane that is inserted into by the Tensor fascial lata muscle.


I. Deep to Sartorius

Superior to Inferior AND Lateral to Medial:
1. vastus lateralis:
vastus lateralis is "lateral" to rectus femoris.

2. rectus femoris:
rectus femoris is like the "hot dog" between the 2 "buns" vastus medialis and vastus lateralis (underneath tensor fascia lata).
3. vastus medialis:
vastus medialis is "medial" relative to rectus femoris.


II. Deep to Gracilis

Superior to Inferior:
1. pectineus:
Note: Even this BIG cat has a super-tiny pectineus (immediately next to the blue vein).

2. adductor longus: 


3. adductor femoris:
Note: Adductor femoris is in 2 parts as shown above by the probes.

4. semimembranosus:

5. semitendinosus: 

"Tummy"

From superficial to deep (MEDIAL)
1. linea alba:

2. rectus abdominis:
Note: rectus abdominis is deep to the white sheet of Connective Tissue (aponeurosis).


From superificial to deep (LATERAL):
1. external oblique:


2. internal oblique:


3. transversus abdominis: 
 Note: tranversus abdominis was only partially visible (it got stuck to the internal oblique layer). This photo is just a stand-in pretty much for this super-thin deep muscle layer of the abdomen.


Armpit/Underarm/Back

superficial:
latissimus dorsi:
 View 1: "Armpit" region
View 2: "Back" region

deep:
serratus ventralis:
Nickname: "6 pack" of the underarm (analogous muscle is called "serratus anterior" in humans)

Arm/Forearm

superficial:
epitrochlearis:

 
deep:
brachioradialis:

biceps brachii:


triceps brachii:
