Comparative anatomy

·       Extensor caudae lateralis – this muscle, along with the abductor caudae group, is present in primates with mobile tails. It is absent in apes and humans.

·       Ischial callosities – paired, externally visible, fatty sitting pads on the ischium of old world monkeys and gibbons. They are absent in humans and great apes.

·       Levator scapulae muscle – in Macaques this muscle is actually 2 different muscles termed atlantoscapularis anterior  and  atlantoscapularis posterior. In humans and apes, the atlantoscapularis muscles along with the upper cervical portion of serratus anterior (absent as a distinct muscles in humans) are collectively referred to as levator scapulae.

·       Rhomboid muscles – in both macaques and some great apes (oranguatans) the rhomboid muscles are comprised of 3 parts: capitis, lending extra support to the head, cervical, and thoracic. In macaques the thoracic part is quite extensive, originating as low as T7. In apes, the cervical and thoracic parts are often fused. In humans, the muscle consists of 2 usually distinct parts: the rhomboid minor and more inferior rhomboid major.

Comparative anatomy

·       Sternocleidomastoid complex: in macaques this complex is represented by 3 distinct mucles: the sterno-mastoid, cleido-mastoid, and cleido-occipital. In apes and humans, the complex is typically referred to as a single sternocleidomastoid muscle with separate clavicular and sterna origins, which fuse to insert superiorly on the mastoid process. Confusion exists, however, as the muscle is sometimes described for humans as being comprised of 4 parts:sterno-mastoid, sterno-occipital, cleido-mastoid, and cleido-occipital. Some of the confusion may be related to the variable presence of the cleido-occipital portion of the complex in humans.

·       Atlanto-clavicularis: a muscle present in both apes and most other mammals, but lost in humans. It runs from the transverse process of the atlas to the outer portion of the clavicle. Functionally, its presence may have to do with stabilizing the shoulder during extension at the gleno-humeral joint.

o   Why might humans not possess such a muscle?

·       Infrahyoid muscles (sterno-thyroid, sterno-hyoid, thyro-hyoid, and omohyoid): in humans, the omohyoid is frequently intersected by an intermediate tendon, dividing the muscle into superior and inferior bellies. This arrangement is frequently absent in other primates, especially monkeys. The other muscles are basically the same across higher primates, although it should be noted that a considerable amount of intra-specific variation exists in their arrangement and structure.

·       Temporalis muscle: this muscle has been quite conservative in primate evolution as a muscle of mastication. What should be noted, however, is its relative difference in size across primates. Specifically, the extent of its origin from the cranial vault.

o   How are masticatory function, muscle surface attachment, and brain size related to the presence or absence of a sagittal crest?

Comparative anatomy

·       Panniculus Carnosus: this muscle is present in prosimians, monkeys, and other mammals, but lost in hominids. The muscle arises from the superficial fascia of the thigh, lower back and gluteal regions to insert with pect. major into the humerus. The muscle tenses the skin covering the trunk and may aid pect. major.

·       Pectoralis Abdominalis: usually absent as a distince muscle in hominoids, this muscle arises from the rectus abdominis sheath to insert with pect. major into the humerus. It aids the pect. major.

·       Coracobrachialis profundus: muscle present in prosimians and monkeys. Lying deep to the coracobrachilis medius, it arises from the coracoids process to insert onto the surgical neck of the humerus. It is a medial rotator of the humerus.

·       Dorsoepitrochlearis: an accessory muscle to the triceps complex, this muscle is common in prosimians and monkeys, less common in non-human apes and rare in humans. It arises from the lattisimus dorsi muscle (near its insertion into the humerus) to insert onto either the olecranon process of the ulna (in monkeys) or the medial epicondyle of the humerus (brachiating apes). Its action on the upper limb depends on its insertion.

Comparative anatomy

·       Rectus abdominis: the main difference between this muscle in OW monkeys and hominoids is the superior extent of its insertion. In monkeys, the muscle inserts as high as the 1st costal cartilage.

·       Pyramidis: this muscle is only variably present in monkeys, apes and humans. When present, this small muscle originates on the superior borders of the pubic bones to insert superiorly into the linea alba. The major difference between macaques and hominoids is in the innervations of this muscle. In macaques it is innervated by the lower thoracic interocstals and ventral rami of the upper lumbar plexus. In hominoids it is by a branch off the 12th thoracic nerve.

·       Quadrates lumborum: in OW monkeys, this muscle has a more extensive insertion onto the last 3 ribs. In humans it only reaches as high as the last rib.

Comparative Anatomy

·       Levator ani: in monkeys, because they possess tails, the 2 muscles that comprise the levator ani are termed iliocaudalis and pubocaudalis because they insert onto caudal vertebrae. In the tailless apes and humans, the homologous muscles are termed iliococcygeus and pubococcygeus, and insert around the rectum. Thus, in monkeys the levator ani is principally a flexor and abductor of the tail and has little effect on the rectum.

·       Coccygeus: this muscle is present in monkeys, apes, and humans, however, in monkeys it is called ischiocaudalis, and it lies deep to levator ani. Together with levator ani this muscle helps form the soft tissue sling, which supports the pelvic viscera.

·       Levator penis: smallmuscle present in monkeys that inserts onto the dorsum of the penis.

·       Superficial and deep perineal muscles: these muscles are present in man, but rarely occur in other primates. They run transversely from ischium to ischium.

·       Psoas major: differences are seen among monkeys, apes, and humans in the superior extent of the origin. Whereas in the monkey the origin includes the bodies, discs and transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae, in apes and humans this extends to the last thoracic. In apes it can extend as high as the last rib.

·       Psoas minor: the human and ape differ from the monkey in origin, insertion and innervations. In humans and apes the insertion extends slightly higher on the vertebrae. In the monkey it inserts onto the region of the iliopubic eminence, as opposed to the arcuate line. Finally, the innervation in the monkey is slightly more extensive, employing multiple branches of the upper lumbar nerves.

Comparative Anatomy

 

·       Tensor facia lata: the origin differs in monkeys and humans, in that in humans the origin is confined to the anterior superior iliac spine. It is interesting to note that the TFL and iliotibial tract are absent in Pongo.

·       Piriformis: the origin differs between monkeys and hominoids. In hominoids, the origin is more extensive including the ilium.

·       Obturator internus: possibly a matter of convention, but in hominoids the nerve is simply called the nerve to obturator internus, while in monkeys it is called the pubo-ischiofemoral. More importantly, because of human’s unique posture, this muscle changes from an abductor to an adductor of the thigh.

·       Gemelli: in the monkey this is one muscle. In hominoids, the muscle is comprised of 2 distinct muscles, each with their own innervations.

·       Quadrates femoris: in monkeys, this muscle is an abductor of the thigh. In humans, it is an adductor.

·       Gluteus maximus: in humans and chimps, the origin is much more extensive and broad than in the monkey, where it is restricted to the transverse processes of the upper caudal vertebrae and a small portion of the sacrum. The insertion in chimps is also more extensive, attaching inferiorly almost to the knee. Also, in humans the muscle is primarily an extensor, as opposed to an abductor.

Comparative Anatomy

 

·       Contrahentes: absent in great apes and man, this muscle is found in the 3rd layer, originating from a common aponeurotic tendon attached to the sheath of the peroneus longus tendon and tarsal ligament over the 3rd cuneiform. It inserts into the basal phalanges of toes II (lateral) and IV and V (medial). It’s function is to adduct the toes toward the 3rd axial digit, as in the hand.
