DISCLAIMER: You will see that in this quizlet I define many muscles as parallel muscles. There is no such thing as parallel muscles, and if by any chance they do exist, we have not studied them in this class. I use the term parallel muscles to refer to those that have an exact same muscle on the other side, and count as the same muscle. For example; the externals obliques. You have this muscle on both outer sides of your stomach (left and right), but the image in this quizlet only shows one side. This is because if I wanted to insert my own photos for this quizlet I needed premium, so I only could upload from quizlet photos, many of which only had one side.
