lol, no worries, I can't even remember if it's the femur or the humerus that has the greater trochanter vs. tuberosity. In fact I don't remember the names of the bones of the carpus/tarsus all that well... like, at all. So I also had the same fears about my horrible memory. But you know what though, I surprise myself all the time when I'm looking at case studies and/or am in a class that really integrates a lot of material. A majority of the time, I really know my stuff!!! Just know that the important things will come up in multiple classes over and over, and it'll be difficult to actually forget. I mean... when will m. anconeus ever be important? I have yet to find out. And if it comes up again, and in a context that will be important to practice, I'm sure I'll remember it much better this next time around based on said context. So yeah, don't worry if you can't help the cram/purge (then promptly forget) cycle that most of us have for anatomy. A few things I would focus on remembering though, are landmarks on the living animal, radiographic anatomy, palpable organs, and the vessels important for clinical practice (for venipuncture, blood pressure, pulse, etc...). Not knowing that stuff will keep biting you in the donkey. True story. I know from experience.
