How does the human trapezius muscle differ from the cat's?
Humans have a single large trapezius muscle, but the cat has three sperate muscles- the clavotrapezius, acroliotrapezius, and spinotrapezius- that together perdorm a similar function.
How does the deltoid differ?
The deltoid muscle in a cat does not connect directly to its skeletal frame, whereas, in a human, it does.
How do the extent and orientation of the human gluteus muscles differ from their relative positions in the cat?
In humans, it is a large fleshy muscle. In the cat, it is only 1.3 cm wide by 5 cm long.
Explain these differences in cat and human muscles in terms of differences in function.
*Have not found the answer*
The human rectus abdominis is definitely divided by four transverse tendons (tendinous intersections). These tendons are absent or difficult to identify in the cat. How do these tendons affect the human upright posture?
