<p>I'm not talking full-on examining cadavers or anything but a class that I'm about to take requires us to learn things the names and locations of all the muscles, nerves, bones, tendons, tissues, etc. Basically if there's something in the body that has a name, we better learn everything about it because it's not enough to just learn the concepts. What's a good way to study for a class like this?</p>
<p>I took A&P last year as a freshman, and it is a very difficult course.It is not a class you can study for a day in advance, but rather you must be able to relate concepts or basically memorize them.In addition to reviewing the your notes and learning the physiology, you must also be able to relate it to many systems in the body. If you have a great memory, you will ace the lab exams that test for the anatomy material.Although learning the anatomy portion is important, I think you should spend more time on the physiology. It is the portion that is lecture exams are on and ultimately kills students grades.I got an A, but it was a hard A.</p>
<p>if you can pass those classes in America,.</p>
<p>you can become a Dr.</p>
<p>we dissected a cat.. and i m just gonna say it was the best class i Have ever taken in hs or evn in my life. WE learned and had to memorize over 2000 terms and know quite a bit about human and cat anatomy, all the various systems in both the human and cat, as well as histology and of course various diseases symptoms etc. of the skin and other organs. And as the previous posters mentioned, its NOT an easy class, but if u have the passion of studying such a subject, then you ll do well.</p>
<p>I took a college-level A&P class senior year in high school and it was pretty tough. Like Ernestine said, you have to basically memorize everything for the exams. We did a cat dissection and used the cat model to study most of the body systems. If you do the same, there are books with color pictures of the cat's insides that are helpful in both finding what you're looking for and studying for exams</p>
<p>I took the A/P course sans lab at my local university during my final year in hs. There is a lot of memorization, but really nothing compared to other classes such as organic chem. Try to study in small intervals instead of cramming because you will retain information a lot easier. Also, make sure to focus on the figures since they are basically a summary of the information from the chapter.</p>
<p>While I didn't take Anatomy in HS, I had a friend who did (and it was a class where a 5.0 would get you an A).</p>
<p>He used to review by taking it one area at a time. He'd spend one day on one group, another on a different, and once he felt he got a few he'd review those ones again and then move on to the next set he had, coming back to the early ones if he got a chance.</p>
<p>The memorization worked for him since he kept reviewing stuff. He'd try to get the most important/fundamental stuff first. In the end the guy got an A in the class and admitted that he had never had to memorize so much ever in his life--and this is a guy who likes to take advanced history classes.</p>
<p>A computer program called A.D.A.M. is good for visualizing stuff. It might be a bit basic for a college class, but you'll get a good idea of stuff from it (I own version 1.0 though so it might be different now...the disc I have is copyrighted 1994). I think he used A.D.A.M. in class at HS as a visual aid.</p>

<p>uhhh, there's a lot more to it than that. Trust me, I'm in medical school and it's more than just anatomy and physiology.</p>
<p>I took Hnrs. Anat/Phys as a junior in high school. I loved that class. Every week or so we would learn something new. I would just go over the new stuff for that week and then go over the stuff we learned the previous week(s). I kept doing that to retain the information for exams.</p>
