If you want to learn the details anatomy of animal scapula, then go to the general anatomy section. That guide will help you to understand the scapular anatomy easily and help you to differentiate the cat scapula from others.” The most anterior of the trapezius muscles, it is also the largest. Its fibers run obliquely to the ventral surface. Its origin is the superior nuchal line and median dorsal line and its insertion is the clavicle. Its action is to draw the clavicle dorsally and towards the head. The first metacarpal contains the first digit that is very short and can not reach the level of the second metacarpophalangeal joint. Proximally, metacarpal I articulate with the first carpal and laterally with the second metacarpal bone.

Cats' feces are comparatively dry and their urine is highly concentrated, both of which are adaptations to allow cats to retain as much water as possible. [38] Their kidneys are so efficient, they can survive on a diet consisting only of meat, with no additional water. [43] Spinotrapezius, also called thoracic trapezius, is the most posterior of the three. It is triangular shaped. Posterior to the acromiotrapezius and overlaps latissimus dorsi on the front. Its origin is the neural spines of the thoracic vertebrae and its insertion is the scapular fascia. Its action is to draw the scapula to the dorsal and caudal region.

This technique can be useful when attempting to treat or move an uncooperative cat; however, since an adult cat is heavier than a kitten, a pet cat should never be carried by the scruff, but should instead have its weight supported at the rump and hind legs, and at the chest and front paws. [ original research?] A pronounced primordial pouch in a male Tabby mix Primordial pouches [ edit ] Usually, the average amount of bones in a cat’s body is around 230-245. This will depend on several factors, including cat breed and gender and simply genetic differences. You will find narrow interosseous spaces that extend throughout the length of the bones. Other osteological features of the radius and ulna bones of a cat are similar to other animals. From the cat radius bone, you might identify the following osteological features. Did you know that cats have 244 bones in their body? Humans only have 206. This diagram of a feline skeleton shows you where all of your cat’s bones are located. A – cervical bones, B – thoracic bones, C – lumbar bones, D – sacral bones, E – tail bones, 1 – cranium, 2 – mandible, 3 – scapula, 4 – sternum, 5 – humerus, 6 – radius, 7 – phalangeals, 8 – metacarpals, 9 – carpal bones , 10 – ulna, 11 – ribs, 12 – patella, 13 – tibia, 14 – metatarsals, 15 – tarsal bones, 16 – fibula, 17 – femur The humerus bone of a cat is comparatively long and less twisted. It is the most robust bone in the cat skeleton and posses a round head. You will find a supracondylar foramen on the distomedial aspect of the cat humerus bone. But in some cat species, this supracondylar foramen may absent. The median nerve and brachial artery pass through this supracondylar foramen.

Allow me to introduce Felis silvestris catus the domestic cat. This specimen is an articulated mounted skeleton of a cat found in the museum alongside several different non-domestic Felis skulls for comparison. Syufy F.

It is underneath the clavotrapezius. Its origin is the superior nuchal line, and its insertion is at the scapula. Action draws scapula cranially.Cats possess rather loose skin; this allows them to turn and confront a predator or another cat in a fight, even when it has a grip on them. This is also an advantage for veterinary purposes, as it simplifies injections. [ 13] In fact, the lives of cats with kidney failure can sometimes be extended for years by the regular injection of large volumes of fluid subcutaneously, which serves as an alternative to dialysis.

The intermedioradial is the largest carpal of the cats’ forepaws, and it locates on the medial aspect of the proximal row. This carpal represents the fusion of the radial carpal with the center and intermediate carpal bones.

The deltoid muscles lie just lateral to the trapezius muscles, originating from several fibers spanning the clavicle and scapula, converging to insert at the humerus. Anatomically, there are only two deltoids in the cat, the acromiodeltoid and the spinodeltoid. However, to conform to human anatomy standards, the clavobrachialis is now also considered a deltoid and is commonly referred to as the clavodeltoid.Cat Digestive System is integral to the absorption of nutrients". http://www.cat-health-detective.com/cat-digestive-system.html. Retrieved 23 March 2018. The head of these metacarpal bones of the cat’s forepaw possesses a roller-like dorsal part. You will also find dorsal sesamoid fossae in each metacarpal of the cat paws. You will also find two sesamoid fossae in each metacarpal bone at their proximal part of the palmar aspect. Phalanges of the cat’s forepaw These muscles form the strong ligaments and tendons, important structures in the cat’s front paw. The cranial superficial antebrachial branches of the radial, median and ulnar arteries supply the front paw of the cats. Now, let’s discuss the specific skeleton (bones) from the forepaw of the cats. Carpal bones of the paw

But the femur of a cat is the strongest bone in a cat’s body. Conclusion Fraser, Andrew F. (2012). Feline Behaviour and Welfare. Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International. p.107. ISBN 978-1-78064-121-8. Free-roaming cats that are neutered have lower cortisol levels and less aggressive behavior than cats that are unneutered. There seems to be a relationship between stress and aggression with neutering status, possible evolutionary instinctual drive. [50] See also [ edit ] The caudofemoralis is a muscle found in the pelvic limb. [29] The Caudofemoralis acts to flex the tail laterally to its respective side when the pelvic limb is bearing weight. When the pelvic limb is lifted off the ground, contraction of the caudofemoralis causes the limb to abduct and the shank to extend by extending the hip joint.

Identifying osteological characteristics of hindlimb bones of cat (ox coxae, femur, tibia, and fibula, tarsal, metatarsal bone, and phalanges) Pectoantebrachialis muscle is just one-half inch wide and is the most superficial in the pectoral muscles. Its origin is the manubrium of the sternum, and its insertion is in a flat tendon on the fascia of the proximal end of the ulna. Its action is to draw the arm towards the chest. There is no human equivalent. Pectoralis major
