Does anyone else study like this for anatomy?

^ I don't know what this kind of studying is called or if it even has a name but does anyone know where to find a repository of diagrams like this for arteries and nerves in different regions of the body? I find this is the only way I can really get the stuff down because I am a very visual learner but I can't draw well, so these types of things are at least helpful in that you know what things connect to each other, and the relative places where they branch.

I would use netters atlas to see great illustrations and get a good grasp of where things are (it helped me and I'm a visual learner as well)... Also Rohen's atlas is good for seeing what it'll actually look like, since it uses real cadavers instead of just illustrations.

Other than that it's just plain repetition and time spent in the lab that'll get you through it. There's also a website through suny downstate (google it) that can quiz you.

I simply drew that type of diagram myself from the unit course pack for the nerves, arteries and veins.. I went through the first time and drew the diagram on a white board simply using arrows connecting labels for the various vessels. In one color would be the path of the nerve/vessel and all the branches, another color would list other structures traveling with the target vessel (such as listing the nerves accompanying the brachial artery through the arm), another color would be labeling which structures re inner acted/supplied by it, another color labeling where it was passing through/branching, etc. This required no better artistic skills than being able to draw a semi straight line. After drawing it out once from the notes, I re drew it a few times from memory until I could draw the entire thing without looking anything up.

The point is, a diagram like this isn't something you really need to find pre drawn out or you, it takes no artistic ability to do effectively, and is very good for getting everything memorized.

there are a few tutors at my school who created great visuals, tons of them were like this for anatomy. ask around and get involved in a tutor group!

I'd second what has been said.

Check out an atlas like Netter's or Thieme, learn in the lab, draw out diagrams of the brachial plexus, arteries, etc and lastly do clinical-based questions. Even if "you can't draw", I'm sure you'll be able draw a bunch of lines for the brachial lexus and blood vessels.

This the money site for questions: http://www.med.umich.edu/lrc/coursepages/m1/anatomy2010/html/courseinfo/mich_quiz_index.html. Do them...twice. You'll be good.

I honestly don't know how I'm doing so well in anatomy. I dont use any textbooks, atlas, flashcards, or put in extra time in lab. I somehow learn everything down during lab time. Hopefully this doesnt change when I get into the harder stuff like head and neck

These are schematics. It would be nice if there was a place where these were online, as I cannot learn by illustrations alone either.

Wow, it's so cool that you don't have to study for anatomy!! You must be so smart which of course makes you extremely unique in med school! I bet you're going to do big things so I might have to get your autograph somehow...

Really? No relation to the question. Way to brag buddy. I hope your self esteem has been improved by letting us know you dont study for anatomy on an internet forum.

i never said i didnt study for anatomy. i use lecture notes exclusively. my point was that everyone studies for anatomy differently. obviously forgot to write that out. my bad

Lol.

My anatomy professor suggested a great way to study for lab. At my school, we have an A, B, and C week, so everyone splits up the dissections. He suggested we get a group of three (an A,B, and C), go into lab on our own once a week, and instead of going down the objectives list and pointing out structures (that's way too easy, and doesn't really help on a practical, when you won't have a list), go around and point out a structure as fast as we can and say a fact about it (Ex: point out muscle and give its innervation or motion). Then, when we can't think of any more structures, check out the list and see what we missed. This helped me out a lot last year, and it was kind of a "fun" way to study without really feeling like we were studying.

Thieme was absolutely the best atlas; Netter's was pretty but Thieme got the job done. It was so good I bought the neuroanatomy atlas too

I did the exact same thing. I bought the general Thieme atlas for anatomy and then when we had the neuro block, I bought the Theime Neuro atlas.
