How to learn anatomy?

This semester is Cardio-Respiratory & Locomotor Systems for me

Locomotor means both muscles and bones. I think humans have around 600 muscles and 200 bones. The first step to get to know them better is learning their names (or giving them). That's a lot of work!











Happy: when you know what the question wants, and you give the right answer.












Again: still getting them right.












Not so happy: When you get almost everything wrong.


Active learning is fun because of anticipation on your part. You make an active guess. If you get it right, you proceed. If not, you fix it up (I think it's retained better in our heads too), and then still proceed.

Thanks to Dr Jenny Hayes (and Dr Chris Briggs) for the lectures, pracs and other lessons.

MCQ3 (once again, 15 questions in 15 minutes), here I go!
