Week 2:Article Evaluation of Cat Anatomy.

Based on the article, anatomical aspects of a cat was demonstrated based on the explanation of the paws, mouth, ears, and other anatomical parts. The distraction was based on the temperature and heart rate found in the article. Temperature and heart rate is important, however does not play a role in the anatomy of a cat.

There are content gaps based on the eyes not being explained or even thought upon was missing even though cats have eyes which have functions of their own. Also, more expansion of the ears based on the sense of hearing. The henry's pocket is talked about however the function is not explained based on the unknown function in a cats ear. Based on the talk page, the aspect of the comparison of a humans oral temperature compared to a cat's rectal temperature.

There are no forms of plagiarism, however many articles were used in the creation of the article. Each factoid was in connection to the references used. This article contains 37 articles with reference connection in all based on reading the article. There were underrepresentation of cats ears in general with the lack of connection of the eyes. Every anatomical part has explanations of functions however content gaps were established based on no eye section and comparison of temperatures of humans and cats.

The sources demonstrates accuracy when it comes to learning new information of cats and their anatomy. I have 2 male cats and the way they move their bodies is amazing. My boys go in and out of small spaces with ease based on the structure of their bodies. There is a gap based on the whiskers, and they allow cats to feel their space and see if they can fit into said space. The article should explore the idea of the eyes and whiskers based on the anatomy of a cat.

Week 3: Group Discussion based on Plagiarism/Copyright.

1.Blog posts are based on a opinion and no information is cited at all depending on the blogger. Press releases are on a particular topic, and is solely based on one person ideas. This demonstrates one persons motive into the situation and no evidence to back it up. For example, movie stars being divorced or pregnant with no evidence to show this for itself. It can be the truth or pure fallacy without evidence to back it up. Its all about the views and not the truth.

2.There is no evidence, but the bias is apparent. It will appeal to others as a idea but there could be underlying mysteries to the company itself.

3. Plagiarism is making someone else's work as your own and not taking the time to create or paraphrase as your own. Copy right is not asking for permission and used it as yours even though it is not.

4. Putting ideas into your own. Taking notes of the article in your sandbox and allow time to makes the changes possible. Also making sentences the same structurally and reread the article to make your mind not need a thesaurus. On the other hand, research the topic more in depth to get a better understanding so the resort plagiarizing or copyrighting is in the back burner so to speak.

Week 3: Individual Assignment Due Friday.

Based on reading, sections of the articles have citations however, in the description of the muscles in a cat's anatomy the citations were not place. This made it confusing to me as a reader based on the assumption of most people who are not in the science field know what a trapezius is for example. Possible citations based on the actual skeletal and muscular structure would allow more clarification. Also, at times it feels like you are reading outside of a science journal based on cats.

Through reading many references, there is more to be desired content wise. Cats are majestic animals and the Wikipedia page does not give the full detail of a cat.

In the end, there is more information to be desired especially when it comes to cats themselves as majestic creatures. There is more to be added to explain the true nature of cats themselves to humans. Also, I am a proud kitty owner of 2 boys and hopefully a girl soon more to follow.

Feedback: Discussion and Adding to an Article

• Your discussion notes are great and I hope they will come in useful as you start to make your own edits.
• Regarding your comments on the cat musculature section, I can absolutely see that better citations are needed AND there should probably be additional links to other muscles (e.g. deltoid) that are explained in other pages.
• You say that you looked at many references and that there is more to be desired...but you do not say what that is. Remember that part of the assignment here is to propose an actual edit. You start of great pointing out specific issues, and you begin to suggest a fix, but getting more specific, even if it is for a small thing is the point here.
• I am excited that you are very enthusiastic about cats. I think that is great motivation to perhaps do something here that will help others understand cats better by showcasing with evidence their traits.
• As you work through your assignment in finding articles, I encourage you to consider other pages that are good resources for this one.
• Remember to "sign" your work after submission. Even though this is your sandbox and you do not need to do it, get into the habit as it is an expectation of good faith practice when contributing to articles or talk pages.Osquaesitor (talk) 17:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Week 4: Editing Wikipedia Due Friday at Midnight.

Cat Anatomy: As discussed about last week, the article demonstrates Cat Anatomy. There is more aspects of a cat that lack to be expressed especially how amazing their eyes are. I have 2 male cats at home and cats are the most majestic animals. Domesticated cats are the most independent and loving animals. They just do their own thing and therefore I have chosen Cats as the main topic.

• Association: Dogs- Dogs and cats are used interchangeably as domesticated animals. Dogs and cats are mammals and their anatomy is larger based on their size and weight distribution. Same with Cat Anatomy, most of the language looks like it was retrieved through a science textbook. I would suggest the scientific terminology with a alternate explanation or a diagram. This would help keep the confusion at bay and allow dogs anatomy to be expressed.

• Association: Rabbit- Rabbits are chordates in which belong with cats and dogs. What I suggest as part of the editing process is to file each section into their own section to make it less confusing when trying to read the article. Rabbit anatomy is under the section called Biology and that is a wide spectrum and needs to be shrunken down.

• Association: Polar Bear- Polar bears have no section based on anatomy and just on physical characteristics which is not the same. A addition of their musculature is important based on their survival and would be helpful to add in the end. Also their fur is amazing and is not expresses and should be based on their name polar bear.

Mammals: Mammals have the present mammary glands that are used to give milk to their offspring. The classification of mammals are shown as Linnaeus but there is also another classification that was never heard of. There anatomy is more easier to read however more anatomical parts should be added and explained.

• Association: Leopards- does not have a section for their anatomy its just the characteristics. Characteristics and anatomical features are completely different and should be explored.

• Association: Wolves- Needs a anatomical section and not being placed in the description based on their size and morphology of the wolf itself. Wolves are mammals and these animals intersect.

• Association: Cheetahs- Description based however need more explanation and as certain sections to break up the article to make it more cohesive throughout.

Cyclostomes: There is no anatomical structure of the cyclostomes and need to be added/explored. The article only records the hagfish and lampreys as possible kin and there are no more in the phylogenetic tree which should be expanded if there is more.

• Associated: Hagfish-There is a description of the anatomy based on the 5 synapomorphies. The commercial use is very random and the article would do without it.

• Associated: Lamprey- Based on the article, distribution was part of the article and should be cut out for the article to make sense.
• no more association based on this group these 2 species are the only animals associated in this section of cyclostomes.
• ≈≈≈≈

Group Assignment: Find your sources

What can we add to the article?

1. Format the muscle section in a way that is less confusing and chunky to the reader because it can become overwhelming.
2. Skeletal needs more information because it seems to be cut short and there is more to discuss.
3. introduction needs more information and can not be just one sentence.
4. add more information to the Henry's pocket and not to assume.
5. Claws section is mostly plagiarized and needs to be paraphrased.
6. Citations need to be throughout the article especially if 37 are shown as references especially in the legs and skin section.
7. Make sure the links can still be demonstrated even today for modern users.
8. The formatting is very overwhelming and needs to be changed/improved
9. It leads to the need for more information that is not expressed.

Week 6: Draft For Group Page

Based on the reading the skeletal section, the list is endless and me as a reader got completely lost during reading the anatomical terms.

sections based on each muscle of the cats anatomy would be helpful especially to help the section be more easier to read based on the article at hand.

• Cats have muscles close or similar to humans as well. Cats have joints and tendons to allow them to move from place to place.
• Cats have skeletal and smooth muscle in which allows movement and posture with biological functions as well.
• Allow the abdominal muscles to be incorporated in their own section such as the abdominal muscles and incorporate the muscles and the location. This would allow the section to be less intimidating and more interesting to the reader.
• Squish the sections together and allow them to be weaned out a little more and smaller sections allows less confusion.
• Section is demonstrated below.
• Feline muscles allow voluntary and involuntary motion of the cats. Cats can not push themselves and move in specific directions.

Abdominal Muscles:

Comprises of the tranversus abdominals and rectus abdominus.

"This muscle's origin is the lumbodorsal fascia and ribs. Its insertion is at the pubis and linea alba (via aponeurosis), and its action is the compression of abdominal contents. It also laterally flexes and rotates the vertebral column"

Section edit: the muscle is located in the lumbodorsal fascia and ribs and main function is the abdominal compression. This muscle also laterally flexes and rotation of the vertebral column.

"This muscle is the innermost abdominal muscle. Its origin is the second sheet of the lumbodorsal fascia and the pelvic girdle and its insertion is the linea alba. Its action is the compression of the abdomen".

Edit: Innermost muscle in the abdomen and origin is the second sheet of the lumbodorsal fascia. The function is abdominal compression demonstrated in the transverse abdominals.

Deltoids correction:

combination on the deltoids and not separated sections.

"The deltoid muscles lie just lateral to the trapezius muscles, originating from several fibers spanning the clavicle and scapula, converging to insert at the humerus. Anatomically, there are only two deltoids in the cat, the acromiodeltoid and the spinodeltoid. However, to conform to human anatomy standards, the clavobrachialis is now also considered a deltoid and is commonly referred to as the clavodeltoid."

"The acromiodeltoid is the shortest of the deltoid muscles. It lies lateral to (to the side of) the clavodeltoid, and in a more husky cat it can only be seen by lifting or reflecting the clavodeltoid. It originates at the acromion process and inserts at the deltoid ridge. When contracted, it raises and rotates the humerus outward."

"A stout and short muscle lying posterior to the acromiodeltoid. It lies along the lower border of the scapula, and it passes through the upper arm, across the upper end of muscles of the upper arm. It originates at the spine of the scapula and inserts at the deltoid ridge. Its action is to raise and rotate the humerus outward."

Correction:

The deltoid muscles containing acromiodeltoid and spinodeltoid both found in cats is lateral to the trapezius muscles. The deltoid originates from the converging of the humerus, clavicle, and scapula. Acromiodeltoid is the shortest deltoid muscle and inserted at the deltoid ridge and allows raising and rotating the humerus when contracted. Spinodeltoid is posterior to the acriminodeltoid and originated in the spine and allows the same rotation as the acriminodeltoid by rotation and raising of the hummerus.

Less chunky and more easier to read.

Head and Integument:

Head and the neck can be made into on paragraph and words need to change such as very powerful is not professional in the eyes of the reader when reading the article.

References need to be made based on the features shown because others may not know in grave derail about the anatomical parts.

The integument of cats allow them to shake their skin and allow the skin to be stretch throughout the entire body.

Neck and Back:

This section needs to be structured in a way which is less step by step.

Rhonbodius section needs to be inclusive of the capitis into the section allow.

Rhomboideus and rhombodieus capitis allows the neural spine in connection of the cranium and allows the scapula to be dorsal and drawn cranially as a edited version. Splenius is the structure in connection of the cats deep muscle structure and allows the raising and lowering of the head. Then in control of breathing based on the contraction and depress of the ribs during breath is caused by the Serratus ventralis and Dorsalis. A new set of muscles allows the interconnection and is main function of respiratory muscles which pull the ribs back and forth called the intercoastal muscles. Based on the pelvic limbs, cats have a tail that is laterally to allow the balance needed for balancing weight. The pelvic limb is abducted and the shank allows the joint ot extend and flex which is based on the Caudofemoralis.

Pectoral:

Pectroalbrachius is the muscles based on the activate the pectoral muscles. Pectoralis major and minor allows the drawing of the arm to the chest and in origin to the sternum. Pectoralis minor is larger then major, however allows the tipping of the scapula and elevation of the ribs. Last anatomical part is Xiphihumeralis which is only found in cats and allows the insertion of the humerus in relation to the sternum.

Trapezius:

In a domestic cat, there are 3 thin and flat muscles that shield the back and the neck in which pull the scapula toward the mid-dorsal line. The 3 main trapezius muscles are called the clavotrapezius, Acromiotrapezus, and lastly the spinotrapezius. Clavotrapezius is the anterior and largest muscle and draws the clavical dorsally and towards the skull. Acromiotrapezuis and spinotrapezius covers the dorsal and lateral surfaces and draws the scapula to be dorsal and holds the scapula together. Spinotrapezius is the most posterior and draes the scapula to the dorsal and caudal region of the domestic cat.

Comments:

Each section needed to be condensed and allow more to be shown. condensing allows a easier flow and read to the reader.

Check List for Future Draft.

• Elaborate more abou the anatomical nature of the muscles and a construct.
• change the wording of sentences to make the sentences make more sense and add some references to bulk up the information and not make it too overwhelming to the reader.
• Change the wordiness of the sentences to make them more unique.
• Reword sentences that seem more wordy than usual and connect the incomplete sentences.
• fix grammatical changes in the sentence structure.
• Add reference based on the structure of the pectoral muscles.
• Add a new image when it comes to the anatomy section look up anatomical cat images to add in there.
• Add sources into the wiki page ASAP.

Draft:

Skeletal Musculature:

Cats have many skeletal muscles in their anatomy s containing 9 true ribs and a total of 13 pairs of ribs in a cat alone. A domestic cat ribs are curved and turned to assume their twisted appearance. Their nine true ribs are not attached away from the sternum by their cartilage and the last 4 are attached separately from the sternum. In discussion of the sphenoid bones are represented in 2 forms: Cranial or caudal as the spheniod and presphenoid in a adult cat. A kitten contains three sphenoid muscles which are fused together to create a joint sphenoid bone. The sphenoid has a central body which has 2 so called wings attached to the central bone.

Cats have 5 major parts in their skeletal musculature system which include:

• Spine
• Skull
• Ribs
• Fore limbs

• Hind limbs

If a domestic cat is injured the injury may not be shown due to the urge to hide in a corner or under a bed which is serious if not taken extreme care of. Vets give cats a musculature exam to see the cause of the problem from the forelimbs, hindlimbs, and even the hip joints which can be a source based on a traumatic event.

Anatomical structures which are common joint in a domestic cat include:

• Pelvis
• Shoulder
• Stifle and patella

Joints and tendons are a union of two or more bones and they connect via connective tissue called ligaments and tendons. Ligaments attach bone to bone and tendons are bone to muscle attachments attachments are ball and socket or hinge attachments of ligaments and tendons on a domestic cat.

The skeletal muscles in a cat allows the voluntary motion for the muscles to allow movement and tendons are held on to the bones and their movement in general. Skeletal muscles are striated and fused together by parallel fusion.

Muscles:

Muscles use a lot of a energy and contains glycogen in which is converted to glucose when muscles contract and thus older cats with muscle disease will experience muscle weakness and each muscle has a specific function which are dependent to the placement on the body in the support a cats motion and movement.

Gross anatomy of a domestic Cat:

Pennate muscles are the muscle fibers that are placed in a angle to allow force and movement. The anatomy based on the cells have myofibrilis containing sarcomeres which contain myosin and actin. Endomysium is found in each muscle fiber which is the perimysium into small groups called fassicles. Each muscle contains muscle fibers called spindles which connects to the central nervous system.

Musculature of a domestic cats tail:

Is made of 20 sections of caudal vertebrae and enclosed by a versatile musculature of various segments that allows these said functions:

• Move tail from side to side
• Draw in to the anus or hind legs

The caudal vertebrae is made of the lumbar and sacral region of the spine and the muscles are attached via tendons.

The function of the tail include:

• Tail held erect for the full length- for a greeting to fellow cat or human.
• Tail curves gently meaning at peace.
• Tail raised slightly-growing interest in a object.
• Tail lowered or between the hindlegs- meaning defeat or submissiveness.
• Tail held still but tip twitching- mild irritation.
• Tail at one side- sexual invitation
• For balance.
• Mesmerize prey when swishes so they can distract prey so they will move. Domestic cats can not see still prey so the swishing tail and move. This allows the cat to see the prey and attack for food resource.

Skeletal Muscles contain 3 types of Joints:

• Synovial Joints- joints found in a female which allows most movement in the legs. A synovial capsule allows the lubrication when functioning. Older cats are at risk for arthritis due to lack of lubrication from the synovial capsule.
• Cartilaginous Joints- composed of thick cartilage disks that are found in cats and during infancy they can risk injury if not matured.
• Fibrous Joints- they are found in the jaws and mandible due to no flexibility.

Cats in connection to Humans:

The cats anatomy is very similar to a human body based on these connections.

• A human has 206 however domestic cats have 290 bones which have 517 separate muscles.
• The 500 muscles allows jumping, leaping, and sprint.
• Very agile when it comes to running and jumping.
• Cats use their tails to maintain balance and many bones are found in the tail.

Cats have many muscles in their skeletal and muscular system which includes:

• External and internal abdominal oblique.
• Transversus and Rectus Abdominals.
• Deltoids including the acrominoid and sphenoid deltoid.
• Pectoral muscles.
• Head and neck.
• Also the integument.

All the muscles above have a distinct function in correlation to movement and overall motion for the cats destination from point A to point B.

Other systems Cats contain:

• Gastric system
• Circulatory system
• Respiratory system
• Urinary system
• Reproductive system.

Hi Ashley, nice to see you again tooCindydaily (talk) 16:55, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
