OMG - how many muscles in the body?

[Kitten]

Hi geeks - just wondering if anyone has an ingenious way of remembering the names/locations/etc. of the muscles in the body - we've just covered the muscular system in my VTCT massage level 3 diploma and my brain's quit on me! Thanks for any help you can give! x

speak soon
PS how did u get on with the bones?

Bones not too bad actually, as I knew about half of them anyway, so my little brain only had to remember the proper name for the other half! But the muscles are a different story altogether! I like your idea of putting post-it's all around the house though, gonna give that a go! I've also got to learn the circulatory system for a test when we get back after Christmas and we've got to do our first aid certificate for the next two weeks which I'm not looking forward to! How are you finding it? Tutors good?

We were ask to come up with a catchprase type thing for a series of names of the muscles which helps you to remeber the be :wink2: ginning of the muscle.

hi,

I did a skeltall piccie, i think i copied it from a book and had it photocopyed large, and coloured all the muscles in different colours. I put the names next to it, and what they are commanly known as, like the latisimus dorsi, the swimmers muscle and the pectoralis the weightlifter chest muscle. This helped me loads. You have to keep goin over and over it. I qualified some time ago and still find myself looking at athletes saying to myself thats that muscle and thats this muscle!
