Rabbit Muscular

This document summarizes the muscular system of rabbits, including the origin, insertion, and action of various muscles. It describes muscles of the abdominal wall, chest, neck/throat, upper back/shoulder/neck, arm, thigh, and leg. Key muscles include the external and internal obliques and transverse abdominal muscles which compress the abdomen. Pectoralis major and minor draw the arm toward the chest. Masseter and digastric muscles control jaw movement. Gluteus maximus abducts the thigh. Gastrocnemius and soleus flex the foot.
