The layers of the epidermis : Can Lucy Get Some Germs

Corneum
Lucidium
Granulosum
Spinosum
Germinativum

Good Luck with your training :hug:

It is easier to come up with your own anagrams if you need them, as it is then your inspiration and you remember them. I can't give any suggestions unfortunately as I am one of the lucky ones and just seemed to be able to remember them. I suppose the more you do A & P the easier it becomes.

So I'd advise either sitting down and playing with the initials or getting your students to do it. The other thing that works is making a story out of the names.

Sorry, I don't seem to have been much help :cry:

just made one up the other night to remember the difference between tendons and ligaments

big bum lard = bone to bone ligament
big mama tush - bone to muscle tendon

am thinking I might have some issues with my bum.....but it helped me lol

Tubby Tibia because it's the larger bone!
Ulna is a smaller word than radius so ulna is on same side as little finger (little word = little finger)!

Layers of the skin: cows love sweet green grass (my tutor taught me that)

I made up funny things for muscles, bones etc

The best thing I had for my A&P stuff was the Anatomy Colouring Book and Physiology Colouring Book.

Hi,

I trained a while back, I taped myself talking on the tape in a rhyme fashion, and playing it back in my car whilst driving. I suppose you could use a MP3 player.

Funny thing is my car got written off, with the tape in the player, can you imagine if someone found it.

Hope this helps.

[Rockateer]

I seem to remember someone on here (think it was Hippy Chick) getting students to draw the positions of the various bones/muscles/etc on a brave volunteer in marker pen.

 

[Rockateer]

Hahah excelent idea isn't it, thanks for that ruth!
I wonder if it was hippychick, jesus thats great and brave of the model!

Yep, it was Hippy Chick - http://www.salongeek.com/chit-chat/...-theory-more-exciting-observation-help-2.html - how cool is the search facility on this site!

As for the model being brave - that's the sort of thing I'd be happy to do myself without batting an eyelid - having been a demo model for intimate waxing in front of a room full of therapists, and modelled for body painting on countless occasions, it wouldn't faze me at all to have students drawing bones and muscles on me in marker!

LOL... I bet it wasn't as bad as the one they taught at our school for remembering the Resistor Colour Code in electronics though! That would be totally banned now for being politically incorrect in the extreme!!!
