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

8 notecards = 2 pages (4 cards per page)

Motor neurons whose cell bodies are within the spinal cord are called ________ neurons.

  1. postganglionic
  2. preganglionic
  3. lower motor
  4. upper motor
  5. somesthetic

back 6

front 7

the basal nuclei

  1. provide the background patterns of movement involved in voluntary motor activities.
  2. exert direct control over lower motor neurons
  3. initiate conscious motor activity
  4. act as gatekeeper, filtering out unnecessary sensorimotor activity
  5. activate spinal reflexes

back 7

provide the background patterns of movement involved in voluntary motor activities.
