Anatomy & Physiology I.. how did you study?

[ChervRN]

For all of those who have taken Anatomy and Phys...I'm interested in knowing what method you used to study....(ie; flashcards, study-group, etc)....

I keep hearing how "hard" this class is and I'm assuming it's simply all the terminology and memorization.....so I'd like to know which way to approach it, in order to do my best. My school offers an optional coloring book....and I don't know how useful something like that would be....and don't wanna purchase it if it's not something that would work well.

so I'd appreciate any study tips anyone has to offer!! thanks!!

I recorded my lectures, made my own flash cards and also used these:

And this (great for the lab practicals!)

I also had a study group, which for me, helped more than anything else!

Oh, one more thing that was very helpful was youtube beleive it or not! When we were doing cellular respiration, I was having a hard time with it, but I looke it up on youtube and there is a series from Professor Fink which was awesome! You can also look up cat dissections and all sorts of helpful stuff. I ended up with an A- on both A&P I & II. Good luck!
