HUMAN HEAD ANATOMY

Study Human Anatomy Skill #1 - Use your book. I know this may seem determined but go photocopy your images from the book and remove the labels. Make as many copies as you can without the labels. Now go straight through and place all the labels back in from memory. This will help to reinforce your memory because we as humans learn best by what we do, not what we see.

Study Human Anatomy Skill #2 - Don't just read your book. Read and Re-read your notes, book, and anyone else you can get your hands on. Rewrite notes. With anatomy you have to be a optic learner, it's not adequate to just know the names; you have to know locations relative to the body. Let's say we are studying the bone matrix, the scapula for instance is the shoulder blade. What if you were to see it face of the skeleton? Would you know what is was then?

Study Human Anatomy Skill #3 - Learn terminology early. This is a given but for many first time anatomist, the teacher may sound like he's speaking a different language which may be fantastic at first. But with a puny institution you will find that the names of ligaments or muscles certainly give you hints of its origins. For example Flexor Digitorum Profundus   is the major muscle that flexes the fingers.  Therefore, you may already know what Flexor Digitorum Superficialis does, it's the same action, but this weaker muscle lies closer to the face of the forearm.   

These are just some examples of a few things you can do to increase your holding when you are studying.
