Journal Entry
First, the head dissector took the scalpel and removed all the remaining breast tissue from the cat. After this, the dissector started on the left anterior side of the cat's arm. Next, the loose connective tissue on the arm was removed to see the striations of the muscles. As a result, it was visible to see the beginnings and ends of the different muscles. Then, a horizontal incision was cut to separate the distinct muscles. The muscles that were cut, separated, identified, and labeled in chronological order are: pectoantebrachialis, xiphihumeralis, pectoralis major, and the pectoralis minor.
