MInk Muscles contrast to Humans

Well allthough I have seen the similarities between the Mink's muscles and the human muscles, I have also notice a couple of differences. Mink's muscles are more delecate than the human muscle. While cutting the layers of skin, I accidently cut some parts of muscles off, and I was surprised to see how easily muscle pieces came off. I also have knowledge that minks have more muscles than the human body, even though Mink's bodies are not as large. Minks. alao have a difference in the cheek area as to our cheeks. I have viewed the human smooth cheek muscle and observed that Mink's cheeks are not made of smooth muscle at all. Unless, it is because of the deteroiration of the Mink.

Topic of My Choice

   We'll, anatomy and physiology has been pretty good so far, especially the fact that I am accustomed to the recommended class requirements.

He taught me all types of muscles and how to locate and identify which is which. For instance, how the calf's consist of the gastrocenimus, solues, and fibularis longus. Or at the thigh, there is the satori us, abductor magnus, adductor longus, and rectus femoris. There are plenty more, however I would really like to dissect an animal an actually use tongs to stretch them and take a look

Blog 11 The Muscle Song

Hearing the muscle song was pretty familiar to me because I have heard a few of the names sung. For instance I have always know that the Latisimis Dorsi was reffering to the back location. Plus I have heard of the these muscles when I disected a frog my freshman year. I would not mind creating a song about anything having to do with anatomy or physiology. However I would make a rhyming, beat boxing tune. I learned that the deltoids help you lift your arm. the sternomastoids help you to rotate your neck, while the pectorals are attached to your humerus and sternum.
