How I learned A&P

Published

To all of you who are extremely worried about A&P.. I was the exact same way. I thought to myself there's no way ill ever make it. Guess what? I made an A in A&PI and II. I even exempted the finals in both classes. So to all of you.... dont worry its going to be fine. As far as memorizing the bones, muscles, veins, brain, etc... I loved it!!! It was actually pretty easy when you look at the bones closley and study them over and over. One thing i did was look at my body (such as my leg) and feel around and think real hard about where everything is located. The femur is the easiest one :chuckle

as far as the tibia and fibula goes, just look at your leg and hold the bone up to your leg and place it where it needs to go. I remember doing this with the fibula, cause at the bottom of the fibula it sorta comes to a point (which is on the outside of the leg or shall i say lateral) and it connects with the tibia perfectly if you just adjust it and study it. The brain is easy too. I was also really interested in it. I think you just have to want it. You have to like it.

Now, on my test we had essay questions where we would write steps in blood clotting etc... That was memorization.

you can do just listen and tape record if you can.

Thanks for sharing and those are great ideas about drawing the bones yourself. I bet that does help.
