  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

25 notecards = 7 pages (4 cards per page)

back 2

stimulates the secretion of the adrenal cortex hormones
tropic hormone
anterior pituitary

front 3

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

back 3

Female: stimulates development of ovarian follicles and secretion of estrogens
Male: stimulates seminiferous tubules of testes to grow and produce sperm
Tropic hormone
Anterior Pituitary

front 4

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
