After a fun summer teaching gross anatomy, it dawned on me the number of muscles that seem to be appearing less and less in cadavers. I know of 5 muscles, all starting with the letter P, that are some of the most common (or should I say least common) muscles to be missing in a cadaver. However, I got to thinking?.. (bad thing for the end of summer)

1) Why are these muscles disappearing? I know evolution? by why?
2) Are there other muscles?

Gray's Anatomy gives the percentages of people who lack certain muscles, generally based on publications by people who have dissected a lot of cadavers and kept records.
