Auxiliary synovial structures for the brachial biceps and brachial musclesat the elbow joint in dogs and cats compared to wolf, tiger and cougar Part II: cats (Felis silvestris f. catus), tiger (Panthera tigris) and cougar (Felis concolor)

Forelimbs of thirteen cats were examined in order to describe auxiliary syn ovial structures for the brachial biceps and brachial muscles at the level of the elbow joint. In addition findings were compared to results obtained in two tigers and one cougar. A constant synovial bursa - the bicipitoradia l bursa - was found between the tendon of insertion of the brachial biceps muscle and the radius in all cats investigated. Another constant bursa was observed between the merged tendon of insertion of the brachial and the cle idobrachial muscles and the tendon of the brachial biceps muscle.
