General Information
Term flight muscle ID (Ontology) FBbt:00058881 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Muscle involved in the mechanism of flight. The indirect flight muscles are involved in the deformation of the thoracic terga that bear the wings but are not directly attached to the wing, whereas the direct flight muscles are attached directly to the wing and aid in fine control of its movement. These muscles derive from adepithelial cells associated with the wing disc (Sudarsan et al., 2001; Kozopas and Nusse, 2002).[ FlyBase:FBrf0007735 FlyBase:FBrf0064793 FlyBase:FBrf0098527 FlyBase:FBrf0111704 FlyBase:FBrf0141467 FlyBase:FBrf0144806 ]
