Frequently Asked Questions

How do I memorize anatomy and physiology?

Break it into systems, use mnemonics, and review with spaced repetition. Understanding function helps remember structure.

How many bones and muscles should I memorize?

Focus on major bones (206 total) and muscles relevant to your course. Nursing students need different depth than pre-med students.

Is anatomy and physiology hard?

It requires significant memorization but is manageable with consistent study. Flashcards with spaced repetition are particularly effective.
