dorsal ventral indirect flight muscle [FBbt_00059069]
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).
