However, there has been scarce report concerning such muscular bundle. The aim of this study was to examine it anatomically. The slip extended from the ventrolateral trunk to the fascia of brachium. It covered the thoracic mammary glands in female and the adipose mass in male. The nerve supply from the caudal pectoral nerve was expected, although the true innervation was not clearly identified. Moreover, it was suggested that the murine commonly possesses this type of muscle. The anatomical knowledge about this muscular slip will probably diminish the inconveniences during the skin experiment using rats.}, pages = {97--101}, title = {The fine slips of cutaneous muscle extending from the ventrolateral trunk to the brachium in the rat}, volume = {29}, year = {2019} }
