They changed External and Internal Obliques to External and Internal Intercostals??

[Flavorflav]

Hmm. They didn't highlight the change, like they did for the others. An oversight, or did they not really mean to change them?

What exactly is the Occipitofrontalis? A couple people I asked said that it's the Frontalis and the Occipitalis combined, but they're on the opposite sides of the head.

The occipitofrontalis or epicranius is a muscle which covers parts of the skull. It consists of two parts or bellies: The occipital belly, near the occipital bone, and the frontal belly, near the frontal bone.

Some sources consider the occipitofrontalis to be a structure consisting of two distinct muscles, the Frontalis and the occipitalis. However, Terminologia Anatomica currently classifies it as a single muscle.

I love being in division B right now. What the heck is the endocrine system?
If anyone has any respiratory questions, my dad, the pulmonologist, can help out.

[49ers]

the endocrine system includes the glands throughout the body. (i.e. pituitary)
I really could use some info on the respiratory system (THANK YOU!)

Is there a difference between the epiglottis and the glottis?

[Anatprof77]

No problem 49ers. Is there anything specific you wanna know?

The epiglottis guards the entrance of the glottis, the opening between the vocal folds.
