If you aren't in school and don't have access to a cadaver lab, I suggest the next best thing-- buying two books: "Color Atlas of Anatomy" by editors Rohen, Yochochi, and Lutjen-Drecoll (excellent photos), and "Atlas of Human Anatomy" by Frank Netter, M.D., probably the best medical illustrator ever. And don't forget to by an actual anatomy textbook...\n\nA systematic approach, including developmental biology, helps. Have fun.

Make sure you spend time in the dissection lab tih the cadavers (assuming you're school still dissects).  Ask the anatomy faculty if they have any graduate students willing to tutor.  We had some who did it for 5 or 10 dollars per hour, and if you do it just once or twice a week every week it will be WELL worth your money.  We would meet with a group of 3 or 4 students, plus the tutor, and go through several cadavers and look at various structures, and he would say "what's this?" then we'd answer and he's say "What's its relationship to______" or he would ask "it lies anterior to ______".  He'd also point to a nerve and ask what is this, what does it innervate, what is the nerve's origin (ie which cranial nerve or spinal nerve, etc), and what are its realtions.\n\nIt was well worth the money!\n\nIf you can't afford this, take a classmate who has a decent understanding up to the lab with you and do the exact samething on your own. -- it's just nice to have the tutor because you spend less time ruffling through manuals and diagrams or looking for particular structures-- whereas the grad students often know what's commonly tested and knows where to look for it.  This technique, if you combine labtime with the quizzing over relations, functions and innervation, will help both your practical and written test score.\n\n\nI assume you are meaning gross anatomy.  As for hisology or microstructure... Couldn't help ya, I struggled with that.  Where are you in med school?

To study effectively. The following points will help.\n1. Make sure that you have a time table.\n2. determine which subject you are lacking in and give more time to it.\n3. Try to learn things practically and logically, in this way you will not have to cram the subjects. \n4. Try to revise the subjects/topics before going to sleep which you studied in the day.\n5. Make you studt room look like a study room i.e there should be no disturbance from outside.\n6. Contact your teachers in case of any difficulty without any inhibition. For this you will have to make good rapport with the teachers.\n7. For learning formulas of physics, mathematics write them a 100 times initially and then repeat them after 2/4 days.\n8. Take your own tests by preparing question papers based on previous exams.\n9. Give yourself a good reward when you achieve what you wanted.\n10. AND FINALLY BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF.\n\nGOOD LUCK

play my favorite music (not too loud)\nread and try to understand the subject (english)\nfor history read it like it was a story and memorize the imortant things sucha as dates or referneces like which one happened first, etc.\nfor math and science i just do a lot of problems to practice, since i love math and science i don't see studying as an obligation, but the best way to study is to practice.

first thing is that you should develop interest in what you are studying. If we like what we are doing, we naturally tend to do it with concentration.\n\nOrganise your time well. Keep some time for play, TV, internet. Carefully divide your day into air-tight compartments. Dont think of other things when you are doing something.\n\nChoose a good (studious) friend circle. You will be inspired to study well when everyone around you studies well.\n\nAnd finally have a long term goal and always keep that in your mind. That will drive you to study well. \n\nYou can also try meditation techniques

In order for you to be able to read the minisus you are going to have to study anatamy and all of the bones and ligaments.

Like others have answered, knowledge of anatomy and physiology is important for targeting--knowing where to hit and how to cause appropriate pain and/or damage, but there's also more to it.\n\nThe more you know about anatomy and physiology, the better you will be able to train and coach as well as deal with injuries (which will happen in the martial arts, at least if you're doing it right). If you know how your body works, you will get a better idea of how you should train and how you should not (e.g. what will cause your body more harm than good). This will also help you to train others if you are an instructor. Also, knowing your body will allow you to know how to avoid injuries and to deal with them effectively if they occur.

Study for human Biology today and then take an hour break.\n\nThen study for geography.  Geography is pretty simple, you have to use flash cards and then put yourself in front of a blank map and go at it. Keep quizzing yourself with those blank maps/flash cards.\n\nBiology... It's very important that you understand the chemical processes in biology as well as the technological names. So I would recommend putting the names of flash cards and reviewing the chemical processes once or twice just to hammer it in. This really helps if you make an outline!!!

OK so this is what i do to get motivated..think about all that you could do if you know all these things that you need to study..i mean if you wanted to be a nurse for example...you could would need to study all sorts of anatomy books and ect....and if you studied you would be able to learned how to save people and heal them..or if you were to be a teacher you would have to study in order to help others to read and write and all that stuff...so think about what you could do in your life with the things your studying! that always works for me.

Well, you can try to have a time table to arrange between your work & play so that u will not miss out any of your homework. Your homework must be done for it helps you to understand better. You must also revise in a quiet and comfortable environment in order to learn more. If you don't know about something you can refer to your teacher or somebody that can help you. You must also exercise and relax between your study time. This makes you healthier thus you will be able to learn and understand easily. Don't give yourself too much stress. Try something with your ability. Slowly you will improve. You must have your target so that you can work hard towards it. It's only my opinion and there might be better ideas on how to study. Good luck;p

The best way is to study at least 12 minutes a day from day one of the class. \n\nTake good notes. Make index cards for vocabulary words. Study the reviews at the end of each chapter.

The longest answer that's precise?  Mmm, almost a contradiction in terms, friend.  :)\n\nAnatomy is the study of what is where in a organism's body, so human anatomy studies where you find the tissues and organs in the human body, and how they are put together.\n\nPhysiology, on the other hand, is the study of how an organism and its parts function, be that function mechanical, structural, or chemical.  It's this field of study that gives rise to so many specialties in medicine.  For example, endocrinologists are familiar with how the major glands produce hormones that regulate different processes in other parts of the human body, orthopaedists know how the bones, skeletal muscles, and ligaments of the human body work together and how to help it heal best after serious injury, cardiologists know how the heart and blood vessles work together to move blood around the body and what can be signs of a malfunctioning circulatory system, and oncologists are intimately involved in the molecular biology of out-of-control cancers.\n\nIt's ironic that a human 'physiologist' had been defined as a person who studies how the human body moves from one place to another, as locomotion is just one function the human body performs day in and day out. But, I suppose a title along the lines of 'human biomechanist' is a bit of a mouthful to say often.\n\nA person can know the anatomy of the human body, and easily NOT know the physiologies in it, but I believe it's impossible  to know of the physiologies and NOT know the anatomy of the body, because often the location of a organ or tissue has a bearing on the function that organ or tissue has inside the human body.\n\nThough in today's reality, it's not easy to know JUST the anatomy of the human body, as some of the physiology is usually taught side-by-side with anatomy.  For example, "teeth are located in the mouth, attached to the upper and lower jaws, and they are used to chew your food."  A bit of third-grade science I've had reinforced over the years again and again, all the way up to human anatomy and physiology class in college.  the message stayed the same, but got more complicated; "from mid-front to back, you have two incisors, which helps to cut food, then a cuspid, which is useful in tearing meat, followed by two bicuspids and three molars which help grind the food into a managable and easily swallowed paste.  These teeth are attached to both upper and lower mandibles in bilateral symmetry in the human mouth, which is the entrance to the human digestive tract."  :)

first of all,  u shouldn't have taken up a subject which involves something that u are not able to do.you know what, parents didn't allow me to study medicine for this very reason. but now there is only one way and that is to face it. for you i think u should be courageous and not think that u are dissecting a living being. just focus on what u are going to learn by dissecting the creature.just recollect all that u studied about the creature and view its parts.if u really want to learn something then u have to face all the problems that u encounter and continue the process of learning without moving a step back!\nall the best for your studies :)

The best way to learn biochemistry is thoroughly read HARPER and Lippincot once. They will allow you to make your concept. There are many clinical manifestations which can be very easily understood by looking at the flow-diagrams in Lippincot.\n\nAfter you study Biochemistry once in these books, just go for a small book to revise your concepts or just make your own notes from Harper and lippincot and revise them.\nI tried this and got really nice marks in my exam.\nthe most important things to memorize in bio-chem are the cycles of the metabolisms i.e of CHO, proteins, Lipids etc

Reading and understanding is very important. Different things work for different people. Some are visual and some like to listen while others just read. The method differs from subject to subject. Like maths it's helpful to practise, learn the rules and make summaries or mind maps.\nAsking questions while you study helps a lot and underlining the key words. The method that, to me, applies to many subjects is using mind maps. They are very handy and you can do it in your own style- using colors and symbols pictures or whatever suites. Tables is a goo method for subjects like biology. And some people like to study by recording things and playing it back to them. So there isn't a general best way- it differs from person to person so you have to find out yourself, but as i said mind maps work for me.\nDon't forget to drink plenty of water and eat healthy so you can concentrate better on studying- just thought I'd let you know.
