Mr. Lusto, meet Porky the Pig

This is our pig before we attacked it. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 		 You can see the thymus gland easily under the sternohyoid muscle in this picture.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 		 A good view of the mylohyoid which elevates the hyoid bone and base of tongue while swallowing. 
 
 
 
 
 
 		 These are the neck and throat muscles. The sternocephalic is a thick but narrow muscle extending obliquely form the mastoid process tot eh sternum along the neck. The mylohyoid muscle parallels the bottom aspect of the chin. The Diagastric runs vertically next to the mylohyoid.  The superficial pectoral us a thin flat band of muscle that arises from the sternum just anterior to the posterior deep pectoral. 
 
 
 
 

 

The superficial pectoral's action is to draw the scapula forward and inferiorly. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 		 Muscles of the Hind limb which include the Gastrocnemius (largest muscle of the shank), Peroneus Longus (lateral surface of the tibia), and the Peroneus Tertius (anterior side of the tibia). The Peroneus muscles are long thins muscles that arise form the proximal to the distal femur and run to tarsal insertions.  Another view of the hind limb muscles including the tensor fasciae latae. This muscle is wide and thin at its superior end where it originates on the iliac crest and narrows to a long tendon that inserts in at the fascia latae. Its action is to tighten the fascia latae.
 		 A view of the thigh muscles showing the gluteus medius and Iliacus. The gluteus medius is a thick muscle lying posterior and deep to the tensor fascia latae. 
 
 
 
 
 

This shows the triceps brachii both long and lateral heads. This muscle is a large fleshy muscle covering the posterior aspect and most of the side of the humerus.  This is a good view of the jugular vein under the sternocephalic which drains the head.
 
 		 This picture includes triceps brachii. This muscle arises from three heads which originate from the humerus and scapula and insert jointly in to the olecranon process of the ulna.  Another picture of the neck muscles now including the sternohyoid. This muscle is a narrow strap-like band united to its partner that runs along the midline of the ventral aspect of the neck.
