General Information
Term dorsal ventral indirect flight muscle ID (Ontology) FBbt:00059069 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Indirect flight muscle that extends dorsoventrally, medial to the dorsal longitudinal muscles (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). It connects the dorsal region of the mesothoracic tergum and the ventrolateral margin of the mesothoracic phragma (Williams and Williams, 1943). There are seven of these on each side, each with a single muscle cell (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). These vertical muscles function to elevate the wings by drawing down on the scutum (Miller, 1950).[ FlyBase:FBrf0006004 FlyBase:FBrf0007735 FlyBase:FBrf0064793 FlyBase:FBrf0098527 ]
Also Known As"dorsal ventral muscle" ; "DVM" ; "wDVM"
