    The document provides instructions and questions for a dissection exercise of a fetal pig's muscles. It includes: 1. Directions to prepare a carboglycerine solution for muscle preservation and a time allotment of 4 hours for the dissection. 2. Questions about differences between human and pig muscle anatomy and function related to humans' upright posture, such as humans having a single large trapezius muscle versus pigs' three separate muscles, and the human sartorius producing both knee flexion and hip rotation versus the pig sartorius' actions. 3. An explanation that the human rectus abdominis' tendinous intersections support the abdominal wall and prevent visceral organs from becoming pendulous during

    Dissection Review
    Many human muscles are modified from those of the pig (or any quadruped) as a result of
    the requirements of an upright posture. The following questions refer to these differences.
    1. How does the human trapezius muscle differ from the pigs?
    Humans have one large single trapezius muscle, but the pig has three separate muscles
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    the clavotrapezius, the acromiotrapezius, and the spinotrapezius.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________

    2. How does the deltoid differ?


    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    the deltoid muscle of a pig is a thin band in humans it is thick and fleshy.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________

    3. How does the extent and orientation of the human sartorious muscle differ from its relative position in the pig?
    The human satorius is a thin straplike muscle running obliquely across the anterior thigh. The pig's
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    flat, and covers most of the anterolateral thigh. Its course is oblique, but appears less so because

    4. Explain the differences in terms of differences in function.


    The pig sartorius acts to adduct the thigh and flex the hip. Upon contraction, the human sartorius
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    produces flexion at the knee and lateral rotation of the hip.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________

    5. The human rectus abdominis is definitely divided by four transverse tendons (tendinous
    intersections). These tendons are absent or difficult to identify in the pig. How do these
    tendons affect the human upright posture?
    These tendons support the abdominal muscular wall so that the viscera are not allowed to become
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    pendulous in the upright posture of humans.
