How to study for an anatomy exam?

Try to relate these things to something that you enjoy in your life.
For example. if you enjoy working out, relate the muscles and tendons to the motion of the exercise.
Say you really like to do bicep curls, you can relate muscles and tendons in the arm to that (such as biceps brachii, brachioradialis (for between supination and pronation), brachialis) and then remember the tendons that connect to these muscles, the bones those tendons attach to, and i suppose the nerves that connect to those as well.

That is my way. I like to relate them to things that I do almost everyday, such as leg muscles to walk, muscles used to breathe, etc.
Good luck.

flash cards - electronic program or paper ones you make yourself.

Our son and his wife have done this all through medical school - with stellar results.

Find a study-buddy and draw on each other! Not only does it make the study more fun, but you'll have to really think about where you're drawing things. We all drew all over each other in medschool. ;-) And if you need to learn movements, turn it into a dance with lyrics... rhyme wherever you can. The sillier the better as you can remember it more easily then. Good luck! x

e.g. spinal reflexes:
'1....2... buckle my shoe'    (S1,2 ankle reflex)
3...4... kick the door' (L3,4 knee reflex)
5...6... pick up sticks (C5,6 brachoradialis reflex... bend your arms like you're doing a biceps curl)
7...8... shut the gate (C7,8 triceps reflex... straighten your arm as if you're shoving a gate shut with your back to it).

Get the idea?

Flashcards don't really work in this area of study. I always draw pictures and use a lot of different colors. I make up stories and use mnemonic, take quizzes online, make charts that fold over or hide certain categories to test myself. But the best way I found to study for a test is to get with a small group, preferably in a study room with a white board and take turns teaching each other different sections. Once you can teach it, you know it. Good Luck!
