Cat Muscles - epitrochlearis (there is NO human equivalent)

The probe is pointing to a flap we made by cutting a piece of the upper arm/proximal end of the humerus.

Description of epitrochlearis - is a broad, flat, and extremely THIN muscle that has its origin (a tendon) on the latissimus dorsi and inserts into the ulna.

Function of the epitrochlearis - extends the forelimb (radius & ulna) of the cat.
