Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

16 notecards = 4 pages (4 cards per page)

Viewing:

muscles of superficial back and pectoral region

front 1

External Intercostals

back 1

O: Inferior border of rib above
I: Superior border of rib below
N: Intercostal nerves
A: Contraction creates inhalation by elevating ribs; relaxation depresses the ribs resulting in exhalation

front 2

Internal Intercostals

back 2

O: Superior border of rib below
I: Inferior border of rib below
N: Intercostal nerves
A: Contraction draws adjacent ribs together during forced exhalation

front 3

External Oblique

back 3

O: Inferior 8 ribs
I: Iliac crest and linea alba
N: Intercostal nerves
A: Compress abdomen and flex vertebral column, laterally flex and rotate vertebral column to the opposite side

front 4

Internal Oblique

back 4

O: Iliac crest, inguinal ligament, and thoracolumbar fascia
I: Cartilage of last four ribs and linea alba
N: Intercostal nerves
A: Compress abdomen and flex vertebral column, laterally flex and rotate vertebral column to the same side

front 5

Transverse Abdominus

back 5

O: Iliac crest, inguinal ligament, lumbar fascia, and cartilages of inferior six ribs
I: Xiphoid process, linea alba, and pubis
N: Intercostal nerves
A Compress abdomen

front 6

Rectus Abdominus

back 6

O: Pubic crest and pubic symphysis
I: Cartilage of 5th-7th ribs and xiphoid process
N: Intercostal nerves
A: Flexes trunk and compresses abdomen

front 7

Quadratus Lumborum

back 7

O: Iliolumbar ligament and iliac crest
I: Inferior border of 12th rib and transverse processes of L1-L4
N: T12 thoracic nerve and nerves of L1-L3
A: Pull the ribs inferior during forces exhalation, extend cerebral column, laterally flex vertebral column

front 8

Diaphragm

back 8

O: Xiphoid process, cartilage of the lower 6 ribs, and lumbar vertebrae
I: Central tendon
N: Phrenic nerve
A: Contraction causes it to flatten and increase vertical dimension of thoracic cavity (inhalation); Relaxation causes it to move superiorly and decrease the vertical dimension of thoracic cavity (exhalation)

front 9

Trapezius

back 9

O: Superior nuchal line of occipital bone, ligamentum nuchae, andspines of C7 and T1-T12
