Adult Muscle

Any muscle cell (FBbt:00005074) that is part of some tergopleural muscle (FBbt:00058907).

Has been classified as an indirect flight muscle (Dickinson and Tu, 1997, although authors say this is arbitrary - it does not connect to a wing sclerite, but does insert within the wing hinge. Classified as a tension muscle by Wisser and Nachtigall (1984). Trimarchi and Schneiderman, 1994 state that this is a single muscle bundle in D. melanogaster, but dorsal and ventral parts are referred to as tergopleural 1 and 2, respectively by O'Sullivan et al., 2018.
