Memorizing Anatomy - The excellent system to Memorize Human Anatomy
When I was learning at Berkeley, I watched a fair estimate of people drop out. It seemed like the stress of constant study was becoming too much for some. One of the main things most people (myself included) struggled with was memorizing human anatomy. To the median person, it may seem simple, but there are thousands of things to remember -it's in fact one of the most complicated systems in nature. Trying to cram all of this information while juggling the topics of disease and disorders was taking its toll - morning and night study, lectures, research, constant plucking straight through separate books and notes - it never seemed to end.
One night I was on an online forum and I saw a post about mnemonics, and it sounded like the excellent principles to memorize anatomy. Although I always seem to have a hard time saying the word mnemonics out loud, it's a very logical principles in itself. A mnemonic, quite simply, is a memory aid - a principles designed to help you in fact remember information.
By listening to audio recordings of these human anatomy mnemonics, my study time was more than cut in half for one simple reckon - I was thoroughly clear on every aspect of human anatomy, and if I had any doubts, I plainly referred back to simple mnemonic queues which contained the answers I needed. Because I learnt it all straight through audio, it in fact stuck with me --unlike the printed words in books which I could never seem to get a cope on. The recordings kept my unblemished focus, and I was able to pick up many of the mnemonics on the first listen.
Check this out. The way I remember the tribuaries for the internal jugular vein is by memorizing one simple phrase: "Medical Schools Let determined people In". It's not nonsense, it's an easy to remember acronym - and it holds the answers, from inferior to superior:
- Middle thyroid.
- superior thyroid.
- Lingual.
- base facial.
- Pharyngeal.
-.Inferior petrosal sinus.
That's why mnemonics are so effective, in that one easy to remember phrase there is not only memory queues for the answers, but also their order from inferior to superior. I learnt how to memorize human anatomy practically entirely without notes!
