Title | Unpublished paper, 'The pectoral group of muscles' by Bertram Windle |
Date | 1888 |
Description | Windle aims to explain the morphology of the pectoral group of muscles, based on the dissection of over fifty mammals, and on descriptions of others in various journals. He finds that a portion of the lateral sheet of muscle, pushed outwards in the form of a cone by the growth of the anterior limb-bud, which belongs to the ventral region, may be divided by radial lines of fission into three segments, namely, an anterior or manubrial, a mesial or gladiolar, and a posterior or abdominal.
