Muscles of neck, shoulder, and thorax (posterior view)

Labeled version:

Labeled:

Muscles of the posterior aspect of the right leg; Muscles of the posterior aspect of the right hip and thigh.

 
Labeled:

Superficial muscles of the body (Posterior view)

Labeled:

Arnie's muscles:

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:

Shoulder/Upper Chest

From superior to inferior:
1. clavodeltoid:

2.  pectoantebrachialis:

3. pectoralis major:

4. pectoralis minor:

5. xiphihumeralis:

masseter

No pic - Just know it's the only muscle that we need to know in the cat's face! The masseter helps "elevate" the mandible (i.e. closes the lower jaw).
