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.

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.
