head: the upper part of the body of a vertebrate, containing the brain and the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and jaws.
tendon: Â a flexible tissue attaching a muscle to a bone. does not rip. fascia: Â a thin sheath of tissue attaching a muscle or other organ.
insertion: the attachment of a muscle tendon to a movable bone.
fascicle: the compartments that contain bundle of muscle cells.
origin: the attachment of a muscle tendon to a stationary bone.
perimysium: sheath of connective tissue that covers fascicles.
muscular system: organ system made up of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. the muscular system takes care of movement, maintaining posture, and regulating temperature.
endomysium: connective tissue wrapping that surrounds each individual muscle cells/fibers.
epimysium: Â dense irregular tissue surrounding the skeletal muscle
superficial fascia: aka hypodermis. thin layer of fatty connective tissue in the body.Â
1b.) prime mover: aka agonist. a muscle that has the major responsibility for making a certain movement. antagonist muscles oppose or reverse a particular movement. antagonist helps regulate action of prime mover by contracting slightly to provide some resistance to prevent overshooting the mark; prime mover and antagonists are located on opposite sides of joint. synergists help prime movers by adding a little extra force to their movement or reducing unnecessary movements that might occur as prime mover contracts also known as âjoint stabilizersâ.
1c.) Â muscular movements are controlled by the nervous system, which controls the # of muscle fibers it stimulates for a particular movement. small movements require only a few muscle fibers to be used. powerful movements cause many muscle cells to be used. the nervous system must predict how big and powerful a movement needs to be & must send the appropriate nerve impulses down to the muscle fibers at that area of the muscle. (i hope the last sentence made sense.)
1d.) if one doesnât name the muscles, you can not tell whether which muscle is which. most of the names of muscles are from either greek or latin word, thatâs why there are word roots that explain what muscle is what. sometimes the root hints of the action of what that muscle does.
to observe the different muscles and compare the akitoâs and a human beingâs muscles.
day 2: neck/throat muscles
put on the appropriate equipment, which includes the mask, gloves, and apron. one (out of two partners) grabbed the dissection book, from the back-right of the room facing the board. turned the page to the neck/throat muscle section and leave it on the side of the table. one (out of two partners) grab the assigned cat from the feline freezer to the table area where usually the tasks of dissection are performed. we carefully opened the lid of the box. took out the toolbox and checked if there are enough tools, just in case. slowly removed the cat from the plastic bag on the lid, while keeping all of the liquids in the same bag. closed the bag and kept the cat on top of the lid. Â grabbed the scalpels and cut in the middle of the neck of the cat really slowly. knowing the muscles are in layers, check how deep the scalpel went through. kept cutting until went a little farther than should have. used the teaser needle, the bent one, to move the skin layer (which is thick) on the side. used the forceps to open up to have a better view of the catâs neckâs muscles. observed and took pictures of the muscles. used the dissection book to clarify which muscle is which. put the cat back in the bag, made sure the bag is closed and does not have any leaks. cleaned up the lid and tools and the table area where we worked. put the tool box inside and then closed the lid. put the box with the tools and the cat back in the fridge of the dead felines.

Â found each chest muscle and divided each muscle with the scalpel. observed and took pictures of the muscles. used the dissection book to clarify which muscle is which. put the cat back in the bag, made sure the bag is closed and does not have any leaks. cleaned up the lid and tools and the table area where we worked. put the tool box inside and then closed the lid. put the box with the tools and the cat back in the fridge of the dead felines.Â

day: i lost count because i was missing too long and my account managed to get hacked. new link will come soon as soon everything goes out well.

humans and cats have similar neck/throat muscles, not all muscles are the same since cats have six throat muscles and humans have fourteen different muscles on the outside. they both contain a masseter muscle, digastric muscle, mylohyoid muscle, sternohyoid muscle, sternothyroid muscle, and sternocleidomastoid. they have cartilage going from the middle of the throat and under, there is cartilage. the differences are that the humanâs neck/throat muscles connect to the hyoid bone and a catâs throat muscle does not connect to the hyoid bone at the top.
cats and humans have similar muscles like the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor. though the pectoralis minor is very huge, in size, on the cat, and smaller on the human. major is very small, in size, on the cat and bigger on the human chest. the human chest does not include the pectoantebrachialis and xiphihumeralis like the cat chest; though the human chest has more muscles on the superficial layer.
humans have the rectus abdominis, external oblique, latissimus dorsi, internal oblique, and transverse abdominis. cats have that and linea alba, which humans do not have. humans, they have more muscles including the rectus sheath, serratus anterior, external and internal intercostal.
during the day that the abdomen muscles were being observed, the mistake of cutting in the linea alba. later to be discovered that the cut was supposed to be in between of the linea alba and external oblique. The mistake of the huge cut that made it deep into the intestines made a small ruckus and caused to mess up the lab portion that was being worked on, so to fix that mistake, the cut was forced to close by 4 pairs of forceps.
i felt uncomfortable starting out my year with cutting a cat, but this is what it takes to pass highschool. honestly, this is not the first worst think iâve ever experienced. cutting into the cat was stressful yet very exciting in its own twisted way. i have fun doing this with a partner like sarah hoac. iâm not a book-kind of learner. iâm more of a hands on learner which i recently found out through these lab projects. i appreciate the fact that hoac also saw that i am a hands-on person and she lets me cut the cat and talks while iâm doing it so i will understand whatâs going on. i feel bad for relying on her because on day one and two i could tell she didnât like this whole idea of cutting the cat. the first three or four days just felt like complete chaos. i think it was the third day we cut way too deep and mrs. carey closed the gap with forceps. though overall, i really appreciate hoac for understanding the book. when working on the back, i realized hoac and i cut the wrong side but we continued going because it still worked out well.Â
later on, i went to a different country, which is the country i was born in. i tried buying tickets before but they didnât accept my paperwork until i have become 18. there was an 80% i couldnât come back but the 20% kept me going for years. the timing of the trip was awful because itâs a school week which almost drove me nuts. i spent some days in couple cafes to contact sarah and see what was going on. overall, my situation got bad.
once i came back, i had a new partner which wasnât bad since sheâs really pretty and very smart. i was kind of relieved i had someone to catch up with, though my timing these couple months isnât great since my wifi got shut of for weeks so the editing my blog thing only happened in school and a friendsâ houses.Â
emily murphy, my new part-time partner, came back and we worked on the cat as much as possible. i personally still donât understand the arms and legs but I kind of get the estimated area and where they are, i guess. (i donât know how to word this.) it was a new cat that we worked with, and i really wish i was faster when it came to this but i have to find other ways to learn.Â
i apologize iâm doing not so great but itâll change. iâm having a hard time right now but you canât succeed without failing. (this sounds like a diary entry now haha, sorry.)
