1. Mink dissection  Hi!

2. Platysma, Panniculus Carnosum, Facia Facia platysma I’m guessing that’s the panniculus carnosum because it’s the “bacon” and on that side too the white parts are platysma

3. Latissimus Dorsi The whole side of the mink is the latissimus dorsi

4. Pectoralis major Also when you open it, the top is pectoralis major and the bottom is pectoralis minor

5. Pectoralis minor

6. Both pectoralises Major Minor

7. Masseter Somehow some of my pictures got deleted and the masseter was one of them

8. Pharynx Top is pharynx, then is larynx

9. Trachea
