Drowning in Anatomy

I'm taking A&P for the second time. The first time I took it in person and failed with a 73, I basically fell apart when it came to studying the brain/spinal cord. This semester I'm taking A&P online and I expected it to be a little easier considering everything would be review, and I would just have to really work at getting the brain/spinal cord down.

I was wrong.

For my second week, we have online assignments where we are looking at cadavers and being asked to identify parts of the eye, muscles, bones, tissues, veins, cranial nerves. It says we are covering the appendicular skeleton right now in all our handouts so I don't know why our quizzes/assignments are showing me the picture of a cadavers arm and asking me to identify the vein/artery I'm seeing.

I honestly thought it was a glitch in the system where we were being asked questions from all the possible questions for the semester instead of just the chapters we were on, so I emailed my professor asking. He said that it was okay...

So now I need to somehow learn all of this stuff, and fast. I'm so overwhelmed and don't know where to begin because it seems like nothing in my whole lab book is off limits. Has anyone else taken anatomy online before? What helped you study??

Thanks!!!

    memorizing all that info - I suggest you try Quizlet for the anatomy memorization part. Try and study in a quite area .. and another tip talk to yourself when you are trying to memorize.... always memorize parts that are connected together... this will make it easier for you to recall the info you memorized...

    Good luck!

    Used to be great for matching games and interactive studying. It's been quite a few years since I've used it, but it can't hurt to check it out.
