13. ABSTRACT
~~The Angora goat (Capra Ijircus) has been the main experimental animal used bv the Biophysics
Division for many years. Knowledge of goat anatomy is important during both the plail., ,:g and experimental
stages of projects. Because no readily usable information on goat anatomy isavailable, a series of reports on
the subject is being prepared. The first in the series described the skeletal anatomy. The second in the series
described the anatomy of serial cross sections. The present report, Part III, Myology, describes the muscles
on superficial and deep dissection of the head, neck, and pector and pelvic limbs. Part IV, Internal Organs,
which will describe the major organs and its structures, is near *mpletion.

I. INTRODUCTION.
The Angora goat (Capra hircus) has been the main experimental animal u- d by the
Biophysics Division, Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, for many years. Knowledge of goat anatomy is
important during both the planning and experimental stages of projects. Because no readily usable
information on goat anatomy is available, a series of reports on the subject is being prepared. The
first in the series I described the skeletal anatomy. The second in the series2 described the cross
sections of the Angora goat. The present report concerns the muscles on superficial and deep
dissection of the head, neck, and pectoral and pelvic limbs of the Angora goat. Part IV, Internal
Organs, which will describe the structures'of each organ, is near completion.
Three castrated Angora goats were used for dissecting purposes. Each goat was
anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium. The goat was then suspended in a metal frame by ropes
attached to the horns, tail, and nuchal ligaments with its feet just touching the floor of the frame
2
(figure 1). This was done so that the goat would not be distorted.
7
'The goat was then exsanguinated through a polyethylene cannula (0.106-inch ID)
placed in the carotid artery. The body was perfused with 12,000 ml of formalin solution passing
through a gravity flow system from a stand 10 feet above the floor. This fluid was allowed to flow
slowly through the system until the exiting fluid had a distinct odor of formalin.
The goat remained in the frame at room temperature until the next day. At that time
the animal was dissected. After the skin was removed, each muscle was dissectc,l and drawn. A total
of 26 drawings was made while the dissection was taking place (figures 2 through 27).
The nomenclature prescribed in Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria3 was used for labeling
the drawings. The anatomy books of Sisson and Grossman4 and May 5 and the excellent book by
Miller et a. 6 were also used as references during preparation of this atlas.
