What is a simple way to learn the muscles and bones of the human body?

Question

I own a detailed book of the muscular and skeletal systems, but staring at the pictures all day really doesn't help in memorizing them. Any advice? wesbsites, etc.

Answer 1

get creative and buy an anatomy colouring book

Such as:

Answer 2

Learn one system at a time, that way you break it up into smaller pieces versus learning it all at once.  Repetition, repetition, repetition.

Thats what I was doing in my Anatomy class.

Answer 3

I can't think of any easy way to learn them all. Dissection was the tool I learned from the most. Books just can't give the  proper perspective. New 3D animations help. It is just easiest for me to store images from dissections or live operations.

For a fee (of course) the NIH has a wonderful set of 3D human images.

Answer 4

I learned alot through drawing the human body in an anatomical drawing class, maybe if you get a figure drawing book and try to draw the parts, you will memorize them
