Figure 6. Pectoral and forelimb musculature of Xenopus laevis. Dorsal pectoral musculature shown in right dorsolateral view (A) with M. depressor mandibulae and M. latissimus dorsi transparent, right posterolateral view (B) with right suprascapula transparent, and right dorsolateral view (C) with suprascapula transparent. Ventral pectoral and arm musculature shown in ventral (D) and posterior (E) views. Dorsal view of specimen (F) detailing locations of transverse cross-sections through pectoral musculature (G,H). Arm and forearm musculature in dorsal (I) and ventral (J) views, and transverse cross-sections through the arm (K) and forearm (L), with sections shown in (I) and (J). Main muscles are identified using uppercase abbreviations; muscle slips and non-muscle structures are identified using lowercase abbreviations.
