Studying Tips for A&P

Hi!!! So I just joined this website and I'm so happy that I found a place with nursing students like me. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any special tips or tricks when studying for anatomy and physiology. I took both courses and passed with A's but I can barely remember the information I studied. At this moment I am relearning anatomy and physiology and would like to commit it to memory. Any ideas of how i can do this?

    Know everything about inflammation!

    Try to get your head around cellular level physiology and everything else will make more sense.

    Think clinically e.g. why/how does disease A cause symptom X

    Use case studies to solidify your learning

    Use acronyms for cranial nerves etc.

    For complex processes such as renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system draw or find a flow chart and keep practicing drawing it until you can do it from memory

    When running/driving/showering run through things in your head e.g. the path of blood flow from different chambers of the heart through which valves to which arteries to the body to the lungs and back to the heart

    Its so awesome when you learn enough to deduce why a process is happening even if your are unfamiliar with that exact condition

    I would say definitely know how the bodily systems work! Particularly the renal system and cardiovascular system - knowing how they worked were things I found useful during Med-Surg. Knowing the norm and what these systems are supposed to do will alert you to any abnormalities. I find Khan Academy useful for some reminders of A&P - they stimulate visual and auditory learning :) Good luck!
