Muscles and A Dragon in Flight

Posted by Deanna on July 29, 2011 at 11:23 AM

Muscles

An intact dragon corspe is even rarer than a dragon skeleton, or so some say. A dragon's muscle system is similar to that of a cat's. The most amazing muscles of all are those that help the dragon fly. Because a dragon's bones are so light (which is surprising to me considering how big it is!!), and its muscles so strong, it is able to soar through the sky with relatice ease.
  • Alar pectoral: main flight muscle
  • Alar cleidomastoid: draws wing up and forward
  • Alar deltoid: draws wing up and forward
  • Alar carpi ularnis: allows wings to warp and twist
  • Alar triceps: fold and unfold wings
  • Alar carpi radialus: allows wings to warm and twist 
  • Alar biceps: fold and unfold wings
  • Alar lattisimus dorsai: draws wings up and back


Number 1- Alar pectural
Number 2- Alar lattisimus dorsai
Number 3- Alar deltoid
Number 4- Alar cleidomastoid
Number 5- Alar carpi ulnaris
Number 6- Alar biceps
Number 7- Alar triceps
Number 8- Alar carpi radialus


A Dragon In Flight

The easiest way for a dragon to take flight is to leap from a high place, diving to gain speed. But if that isn't possible, it will leap into the air, snapping its tail downward and pushing off with its hind legs. Once aloft, a dragon can soar for hours with little effort. Usually, if on a high place or on the ground, the dragon will probably start walking at first, then go into a slow to fast run, and finally leaps into the air, then the dragon is in the air!
