This is a great site for making flashcards of the cat muscles. It has virtually every photo and label you could imagine. Great resource if you havent' found it already!

Found a couple more websites that have good information on them. The following is one from Saddleback that a professor posted. It is set up as I imagine the lab practical will be. Check it out:

The following is a good site to identify the muscles on a skeleton. It shows origin, insertion and the action. The one below that shows the dissected cat, the human muscle it correlates too, all the above information plus a Quicktime video of the movement.

MUSCLE CONTRACTION TUTORIALS
Here are a few tutorials and videos I found that explain the sliding filament mechanism, among other things.

CAT DISSECTIONS
I found a few videos on Youtube that showed cat dissections. These videos are very informative and the narrator explains as he goes along.

Here's another one that looks like it may have some interesting information. I haven't looked through it yet. Leave a post if you find it helpful.

EXPLORING MUSCLE TISSUE
Although I have already posted a link to this website, this link will get you right to the heart of muscle tissue, specifically skeletal muscle fibers.

INFORMATIVE SITES ON MUSCLES
Moving forward from the skeleton to the muscular system. Here are a few websites I stumbled upon on that look like they may be useful.
