 So, in removing this connective tissue, one of the techniques is instead of pinching perpendicular to the surface of the cat, I use a technique where I pinch on using the side of the foreseps and moving in the direction of the tissue so as to remove it. So I'm really just going to start from an area where there seems to be a lot of connective tissue and then proceed working from the anterior down to the posterior. I'll start on the ventral side and then work my way to the dorsal side. Alright, so just as an example of what this tissue looks like, if I can get a close up, you can see right here in the back there is adipose tissue and it's a yellow tissue and it's just fat. And so that is something that has to be removed and it looks like this cat was not very fat. It was rather lean cat so there's not very much adipose tissue but what is there needs to be removed. And then the areola tissue, I can point out later as it becomes a little bit more evident what that tissue is. But the goal of removing the tissue is to reveal the muscle fibers. And so you can tell that the way that these muscle tissues is arranged is in fascicles. And those fascicles are, they end up creating a striped pattern in the muscle. And so that's the level that we want to remove the connective tissue. So as soon as you can see the striped pattern in that muscular tissue, then you can stop removing the connective tissue because if you go beyond that, you'll actually end up destroying the organization of the muscle itself and you'll lose some integrity in your muscle. So I'm just going to try to proceed and again working with the side of the forcep and just removing the connective tissue. You see it comes off relatively easily so I'm just working to remove this connective tissue. And the thing with the loose connective tissue is that it doesn't take much to remove it. You see how easily that comes off. And that's how you know you haven't gotten down to the muscular level which is again another reason why I like to use the side of the forceps as opposed to grabbing like this. Because when I do that I've now got a hold of some muscle and I don't want that. So I just continue to remove this connective tissue and actually we'll get to a point where you can really use your hands. So the hands is another, using your fingers is another way to safeguard against getting too much muscle. So we're just removing this very loose and I'm not having to exert very much strength at all to remove that. And actually I've just revealed some areolar tissue. So if you zoom in into this area right here you can see that it's somewhat spiderwebby. And there's, there'll be another example of that when we get down to the legs. But that's what we want to remove. So as soon as you can see the striping of that muscle tissue that's how you know you've gone as far as you need to go. So what I'm going to do now is just for convenience actually use my blunt tip scissors and cut this areolar tissue off. Now you might mistake this areolar tissue for skin, but it's not skin. This is connective tissue which is very different from epithelial tissue which is what skin is. So this connective tissue is laying over top serving kind of as a boundary between the muscle and the skin and this is what we are going to remove. So in using the scissors what we want to do is hold whatever it is that we're trying to cut with the blunt tip forceps and then use our scissors to cut. We never want to grab whatever the tissue is with our fingers and cut because then we run the risk of cutting our gloves or cutting our fingers. So that's why we use our blunt tip forceps really as our fingers. And so I'm just following along at the point of connection and the other utility of the blunt tip scissors is that you can actually use it to clear it out. Clear this tissue off and disconnect it from the muscle as opposed to if they were fine tip scissors you might end up poking into the muscle. But with the blunt tip because they're rounded it's not going to catch and so I can have a smoother cut. So this is areolar tissue. This is what we're removing so as to reveal the muscle underneath. So I'm just going to continue to remove that tissue so as to clear out the chest area.
