There is fossil evidence of two other genera which are now extinct. The kangaroo rat, Dipodom.ys ordii richardsoni, is one of the common rodents of western Kansas . According to Hibbard (3, p. 76), "Its range extends northeastward along the Kansas river into Riley County." These animals are easily distinguished from other rodents by their long tail, long hind legs and feet, small hands, fur lined ex- ternal cheek pouches, am their saltating method of locomotion. These rodents are seldom seen by the casual observer, being strictly nocturnal ·and very timid. A good way to observe their activity is to drive by automobile through a pasture at night. It is not un- common to see numbers of them bounding along in front of the head- lights. Not often are the kangaroo rats considered of much economic importance. They build their shallow burrows in gravelly or more fre- quently sandy soil. They seem to thrive best around old sand pits, sand dunes or valley borders. They are chiefly inhabitants of desert country, but may thrive in out of the way places in semi-arid regions. Apparently almost all kinds of seeds are utilized as food by these animals. Woodhouse has reported finding in their cheek pouches great- numbers of seeds of wild sunflowers (Helianthus and Ximenesia) 2 and also hard beans of a legume (Parosela). Goldman has observed them gathering seeds of the common mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa). In an examination of the pockets Goldman found in various specimens the seeds of the rag bush (Gaertheris acanthicarpa), ripening seeds of the desert willow (Chilopsis linearis), seeds of tumble weed (Atriplex expansa), capsules of the common purslane (Portulaca oleracea), seeds of cr~sote0 bush (Covillea tridentata), arrl others. (Bailey, 1, p. 268) From the appearance of their burrow entrances, they must be rather neat •housekeepers". These openings are often strewn with seed husks which have been thrown out from their dens. This writer found the seed hus~s of the sandbur (Cenchrus paudflorus), and the seed pods of the Rocky Mountain bee plant (Cleome serrulata) literally form- ing a carpet of refuse at some of the burrow entrances. One other highly important adaptation of t hese animals to their environment is their ability to live indefinitely without water. The animal is capable of utilizing enough metabolic water to carry on all life processes. Pearse (6, p. 100) has stated that, "Physiology is the key- stone of ecology"; Howell (5, p. 1) has mentioned that, "The internal anatomy of all but a few mammals has been woefully neglected"; and Hall (2, p. 7) 'believes, 11 ••• , that taxonomic characters of consider- able value will be found 'in the musculature when more forms have been studied. 11 These needs form the stimulus for this research. This being an anatomical problem, and not an ecological one, the remainder of the paper shall deal with the animal solely from the 3 point of view of anatomy. The specimens collected for this study were caught in live traps baited with oatmeal. Eight specimens were caught in an old abandoned sand pit twelve miles south of Hays, Kansas. Six of these, four males arxi two females, were measured for total length, length of tail, and length of pes, and preserved in a ten per cent solution of formalin for study. These six specimens were dissected. No muscles requiring microscopy were considered. Not in every case were all the muscles compared but wherever variation was found or any degree of doubt persisted it was checked in all six specimens. An attempt is made to describe the muscular system with extreme thoroughness. The ossesous system is not nearly as intricate and is treated in much less detail. The writer regrets that this subject lends itself only to the technical language of anatomy. Related Studies There has been little work done on the internal anatomy of all but a few of our small mammals. Anatomists have thoroughly treated the cat am the rabbit but have failed to continue with many of our common rodents. Howell (5, p. 1-225) has made a comparative anatomical study, in minute detail, of three common North American rodents, Homodontom.ys, Neotoma, and Teonoma. His work has been used as a basic guide in this research. The same author also made a similar study of the three genera, 4 Allactaga, Dipodom..ys,and Scirtopoda (Howell, 4, p. 377-536). It should be borne in mind that all quotations from the last mentioned works deal with a different species from that of this re- search. Similar studies, but not of rodents, have been made by Hall (2, P• 7-38) of three mustelid mammals, Mephitis, Spilogale, and Martes. In another study Hall has given an account of the muscular · anatomy of the .American badger. Much is yet needed to be done in the field of anatomy befor e it can be said to be adequately explored. MYOLOGY There is slight individual variation in the musculature of all animals, no two animals being exactly alike. It is i mpossible to define some muscles with exactness, especially those arising or inserting within fascia, or muscles which are partly or wholly in- separable from each other. Specimens that have been kept in preser- vative often give a false impression of the true nat ure of t he muscle, because never do the muscles "set" precisely the same. The muscles which are about to follow are grouped f or the sake of convenience only, and do not necessarily constitute group relat- ionship. Muscles of the Head Superficial Facial Musculature 5 Levator labii arises from a considerable area upon the rostrum, mainly the premaxilla. Insertion is into the extreme dorso-cranial fold of the pouch and the mystacial pad. Dilator naris has its origin mostly mediad but deep to the levator labii. Two long tiny tendons develop, the dorsal one insert- ing just dorso-caudad of the nostril, the other extenru.ng to the extreme tip between the nostrils. Orbicularis oculi arises on the maxilla immediately laterad to the suture of the frontal bone. Its fibers circurnvent the eye. The muscle functions as a sphincter, closing the eye. A greater amount of fibers being on the lower lid would indicate it does most of the move- ment in closing the eye. Orbicularis oris has strong tendinous fibers inserting into the margin of the lower lip. Attempts to follow these fibers through the tenuous fascia were unsatisfactory. Depressor nasalis consists of short stout fibers extending between the ventral center of the nostrils and the extreme cranial portion of the upper lip·. Maxillonasolabialis arises from the maxillary deep to the ectal head of the masseter major. Several long tendons extend to insertion upon the ventro-lateral portion of the nostril. Other tendons emanating from what appears to be this same muscle, but is in all likelihood a separate slip, insert into the upper lip. Orbiculoris sacculi lies beneath the skin but external to the pouch at its opening, or in other words in the groove formed by the 6 infolding of the pouch. It appears as a partial continuation of the- ventral sphincter colli profundus, but most of the fibers arise from the pouch i t self, inserting into the mystacial pad.

Abstract: The mammary gland is composed of multiple tubules acinar pockets in which the secretory layer, connective tissue stroma, and fatty tissue all respond to hormonal and systemic influences. These structures are irrigated by three vascular pedicle branches, from the axillary artery, internal mammary artery, and intercostal artery. This vascular anastomotic arrangement forms the anatomical basis of the flaps used in breast reduction techniques. The veins form a strong subdermal network, latticed with the arterial network. The lymph vessels have three well-defined pedicles, skin, glandular and milk ducts that drain into internal, external, and posterior ducts. The understanding of these anatomical structures determines the selection of different pedicles in breast volume reduction and preservation

  • The Supraclavius Muscle Is a Novel Muscular Anomaly Observed in Two Cases of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
    From the Midwestern Vascular Surgical Society The supraclavius muscle is a novel muscular anomaly observed in two cases of thoracic outlet syndrome Payam Salehi, MD, PhD, Wande B. Pratt, MD, Michael F. Joseph, BS, Lauren N. McLaughlin, ACNP, and Robert W. Thompson, MD, St. Louis, Mo Various anomalous muscles and fibrofascial structures have been described in relation to the anatomy of thoracic outlet syndrome. We describe two patients with a previously undescribed muscle anomaly, which originated laterally near the trapezius muscle, coursed across the supraclavicular space deep to the scalene fat pad, and attached obliquely to the superior undersurface of the medial clavicle, which we have termed the “supraclavius” muscle. The significance of the supraclavius muscle is unknown, but its occurrence in patients with thoracic outlet syndrome indicates that it can be associated with narrowing of the anatomic space adjacent to the neurovascular structures. (J Vasc Surg Cases 2015;1:84-6.) Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) refers to a group of by right paraclavicular thoracic outlet decompression for venous uncommon disorders arising from extrinsic compression of TOS.

Introduction. The catheter “pinch-off syndrome” has been described to be secondary to crimping of the catheter between the clavicle and the first rib, as well as entrapment of the catheter at the site of penetration of the subclavius muscle. The lateral insertion technique has been recommended to prevent catheter pinch-off, but it is unknown if this technique can prevent entrapment by the subclavius muscle. We undertook this study to evaluate the anatomical relationship of the subclavius muscle and the subclavian vein. Methods. Twenty-eight adult cadavers were studied on both right and left sides. The adherence between the subclavian vein and subclavius muscle was subjectively assessed and the distance between the two structures was measured in mm.
