You guessed it- I went to the chiropractor yesterday! I am one of those people who love to get popped and cracked. Well, my rib was quite out of place, so it was causing pain in my shoulder. She pu…

Anatomy can be a doosey for everyone, so don't let it get you down if you're having trouble. A few mnemonics and acronyms can be your savior if you are really struggling. Just make sure you have them straight and practice saying them out loud. Remember that sometimes, the most silly or inappropriate mnemonics or acronyms can help you recall the toughest things! Be creative and have fun with anatomy, it will help it stick. Some of my acronyms and mnemonics may not be helpful or useful to you if you don't understand them, so try making your own. When in doubt, draw it out! Drawing vasculature or nerves from beginning to end can take some time, but can be worth it in the long run. Typically, I would draw out sections of vasculature or nerves and then go to the lab to identify them. It really helped me solidify relationships. When I was in anatomy, I would read the lab manual the night before, taking notes on things I thought were important for the lecture test. To my surprise, much of what I originally thought were minor details, were actually very helpful in locating structures for the lab exam. Knowing relationships between structures can aid your learning in anatomy, because if you can find landmarks like nerves, vessels, or bony structures, you can often figure out what something is. For your practical, if your school offers any old exams, you might make a list of all of the terms that have been tested on in the past and their occurrence. You and your classmates might also join Quizlet and start your own flashcard deck. Our class created decks for each exam that helped to quiz when the lab was closed. Creating tables with muscle origins, insertions, and actions will also help reinforce your learning. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work! If you have anything to add to this list, please leave it in the comments section below. Thank you all for reading! Much thanks to the UT Southwestern PA Class of 2015 for their help.

One of the actions of the serratus anterior is upward rotation of the scapula as you lift your arms at the glenohumeral joint. You can also say C5,6,7 keep your wings from heaven, as an injury to the long thoracic nerve will cause winging of the scapula Movements of the Pectoral Girdle (Scapula) Depression - "People Like Sex After Tacos" Pectoralis major & minor Latissimus dorsi Serratus Anterior Trapezius Protraction (PEC-S) Pectoralis major Pectoralis minor Serratus anterior Retraction - TRL (like the old MTV show) Trapezius (middle) Rhomboids (major/minor) Latissimus dorsi Superior Rotation (TrapS) Trapezius (superior, inferior) Serratus anterior (anterior, inferior) Inferior Rotation (PiLLaR) Pectoralis major (inferior, sternocostal) and minor Latissimus dorsi Levator scapulae Rhomboids Movements of the Shoulder (Glenohumeral Joint) Adduction - PTL (Praise The Lord) Pectoralis major Teres major Latissimus dorsi Lateral rotation - TIP Teres minor Infraspinatus Posterior deltoid Medial Rotation - SPLAT Subscapularis Pectoralis major Latissimus dorsi Anterior deltoid Teres major Contents of the Cubital Fossa (medial to lateral) N - median Nerve A - brachial Artery T - Tendon of the biceps brachii Bones of the Hand Looking at the right palm of hand (lateral to medial) Proximal row: Some Lovers Try Positions (Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform) Distal row: That They Can't Handle (Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate) LOAF Muscles of the Hand - innervated by Median Nerve Lateral 2 lumbricals Opponens pollicis Abductor pollicis brevis Flexor pollicis brevis Intrinsic Muscles of the Hand from Lateral to Medial All For One And One For All Abductor Pollicis Brevis Flexor Pollicis Brevis Opponens Pollicis Adductor Pollicis Opponens Digiti Minimi Flexor Digiti Minimi Abductor Digiti MInimi Interossei Muscles PAD and DAB Palmar interossei ADduct Dorsal interossei ABduct Contents of the Deltopectoral Triangle - CAP Clavicle Anterior deltoid Pectoralis major (clavicular head) Triangular Interval, Space, and Quadrangular Space - Finger Trick!

If it moves laterally and is centered, it is lateral rectus. When medial and moving down, the superior oblique is in control. When medial and moving up, the inferior oblique is in control. Just remember that when medial, OBLIQUES are in control and they have opposite functions of their names (i.e. superior moves the eye down), whereas RECTUS (superior/inferior) muscles are in control when the eye is lateral.

Likewise, the uterine artery passes superior to the ureter and the vaginal artery passes inferior to the ureter (from top to bottom = UV). No inferior vesicle artery in females. The Pes Anserinus is made of 3 muscles and a mnemonic to remember them is "Say Grace at Tea". They are innervated by 3 different nerves and come from 3 different compartments. Sartorius Gracilis semiTendinosus The ischiocondylar (hamstring) portion of adductor magnus is more medial. Pubofemoral portion is more lateral. Together, they create the adductor hiatus. Gamellus muscles are innervated by the nerves innervating the muscles below them: Superior gamellus - nerve to obturator internus Obturator internus - nerve to obturator internus Inferior gamellus - nerve to quadratus femoris Quadratus femoris - nerve to quadratus femoris For the ligaments in the knee joint, take your middle finger on your right hand and cross it over your index finger. This represents the ligaments in your right knee, with ACL being on top, going from a posterolateral to an anteromedial position. The PCL is on bottom, going from a posteromedial to an anterolateral position. Do it with your left hand to mimic the ligaments of the left knee. Ask someone to show you this if it’s confusing.

Hi everyone! So, if you are a visual learner like me, then you know that learning all of the muscles in the human body can be a daunting task if you don't have visuals to aid in your studying.
