The software allows the visualization of details of internal and external anatomy of this ray-finned fish. Lie on your back with your legs in Lotus. This anatomy can be seen in almost any fish cooked in a restaurant or pictured in a book. Muscle anatomy fish muscle is different from animal muscle lacks tendinous system muscle cells are parallel longitudinal connected to myocommate bundle of parallel muscle cells- myotomes myocommata- oblique or plow like pattern ideally suited for flexing muscle movements white and dark brown or reddish tissues reddish color-.
