muscle
• limb tendons are lost with some missing completely and others small and rudimentary
• the extensor digitorium communis tendon ends are the wrist
• the extensor digiti quinti and carpi ulnaris tendons are reduced
• flexor tendons are more severely affected than extensors
• tail tendons are missing
• short tendons in the trunk are reduced or disrupted while long tendons are missing
• intermuscular tendons including the lateral tendious stripes in the rectus abdominis muscle, subscapularis musclea at the ventral side of the scapula, and the middle tendon of the diaphragm can not be detected
• however, anchoring tendons are normal and mice are mobile
|
behavior/neurological
• mice cannot use their tails
