Anatomy-What I need to Learn in School?

[prenurse]

I have just started (as I've already said before) I am going into my second semester....... taking sociology and psychology,

I have a semester or 2 before I get to anatomy and physiology

AT home I have a few books (of my own) about anatomy and it's VERY OVER WHELMING!!

I want to know will we be learning ALL OF THAT? Do we learn a overall understanding of where all parts and bones and muscles are and what they are named? Or do we learn EVERY SINGLE bone and NAME? I am a perfectionist so I can trying to read ahead and get books BEFORE the classes start to maybe get a jump start. But I don't want to read TOO much and confuss myself.

Give me some pointers or maybe some insight on what's in the future

Thanks so much for any replies. Prenurse:cool:

Something a friend of mine did while we were in A&P was (don't laugh too hard!) stand in front of a mirror with no clothes on and use a grease pencil to write whatever system we were on in detail. She said it really came in handy on the exams because it was her own body that she used. She pulled an A so something must have worked!! LOL!! I preferred the internet and "normal" study methods, but thought that this might work for someone else!
