    Anatomy, a subject many students connect a love hate relationship with. At the beginning it often seems hopeless and endless, but studying anatomy is like learning a new language:

    ☞ Learn the anatomical terms first
    What’s the difference between superior & proximal? What does tectum mean? You don’t know? You’d better look it up.

    • Translating latin terms can help you understand things better.
    • Moreover, you have to make sure that you understand the basics: meaning how exactly is the ROM defined? or what’s the difference between the sagittal and frontal plane?
    • The next step is that you learn the different names/parts of the organ or bone with an atlas of anatomy:
      e.g. the radial bone ☞ which part is exactly the Tuberositas radii?

    You’re good at the anatomical terms? Great, let’s move on to Step 2

    ☞ Understand connections of anatomyWhich importance does the tuberositas radii have? Why do we have the Tuba auditiva?

    • Grab an anatomical textbook you like: easy text, clean layout, appealing images.
    • Read it first without using any high lighter. Just read through the text first.
    • Time to get stuff colored: You may want to start your own color code, e.g. all arteries red, clinical relevances green, etc …
    • Take notes, summarize certain paragraphs, look things up in the atlas

    ☞ Say it loudly

    • Get somebody, maybe a friend, to ask you questions e.g Can you tell me the distribution of the A. maxillaris?
      or
    • Explain things loudly to yourself

    ☞ Get to know the dead body (I don’t like the term cadaver)


    Use every minute you can get for studying the human body.
    No book in the world can give you a better understanding of anatomy.


    YOU CAN DO IT!

    As I’m hoping this helped you at little bit, I wish you all the best!
