The Lymphatic System


Hello, i am currently on the Lymphatic system! First just want to say thanks for everyone's help, i got a 88.8% on my last exam!

Does anyone have any good hints/helpful websites on the lymphatic system and also the digestive system?

Thanks so much!

Ok, this is going to sound silly, but it really helped me. I got As on both my Lymphatic and Digestive system tests after studying this way.

I drew little cartoony pictures of the different cells like Macrophages, T cells, B cells, etc...and wrote their names right on them (T cells were shaped like a letter T, etc..) and drew them eating what they eat or doing what they do...like swallowing a bacteria or making antibodies. The little pics popped into my head during the test! I used colored markers, because colors aid in memory retention. They don't have to be artist quality, just funny or unique enought for you to remember them.

Same thing for digestive...for linguinal lipase I drew a tongue shaped thing eating a stick of butter (digesting lipids)!

My notes now look like a childrens' book, but I KNOW these things now and hopefully will not forget them once the semester is over.

This trick works for many things...in chemistry, I drew "Bufferman", a stick figure superhero carrying buckets of H+ and OH- to aid in his quest to alter pH levels. That was in high school 20 years ago and I still remember him.

Good luck!

Someone once Sent me this link http://www.innerbody.com/. Being that I've completed my A and P already, I have only glanced at it, but it may help.
