This is the Last Call — like closing time at a bar, and also literally the last general anatomy episode on this show. Let me explain further. I have taught anatomy and physiology for a good number of years, both in the physical classroom and online. I have interacted with lots of students and know the pitfalls, the strategies that tend to work for students, and what makes sense.

I thought about a little scenario in my head which is actually not too far from reality since our daughter is going into healthcare. She has asked me for help with anatomy terms and how to keep them straight, and for advice about muscles and how to understand their actions and attachments. So, like the last call, I’m extending it to how I can help you personally.

What if a good friend came to me (and let’s just say you were the friend) and said, "Seth, can we meet at a bar or restaurant, have a drink or some food? And can you share what you know with me? Can you give me some tips and share some shortcuts?"

I know that I would love it if someone did this for me with something I’m trying to learn whether it be some sort of home project, video production, martial arts, etc. And I would have especially loved it if someone did this for me when I was learning anatomy. So, that’s what I’m doing in this episode.

One strategy you could use to help you remember and understand human anatomy systems is to determine how systems connect with one another. You might find this fascinating and interesting anyway, which makes it doubly effective. It’s good for remembering and understanding and it draws your attention and interest

In the second part of the episode, I provide a bit of a framework for how to structure your studies, what elements to include to make anatomy studying effective

What systems are we connecting and what are the elements?

Listen in to find out!

There are hundreds and hundreds of muscles right? So, since there are hundreds of muscles and each muscle has two attachments, origin and insertion, that’s a lot to keep track of. Let’s break it down just to the attachments for some of the muscles of the upper limb so you can get a win and really nail those down.

In this episode, we will chat about how muscles move and what they attach to, and we’ll take a deeper look into the deltoid muscle. We’ll talk about synergists and antagonists and get started with some terms.

Do you need a nice overview about the human anatomy systems, how they work, what parts are in each system? What’s more, do you want some tips and tactics for learning these systems? Or maybe even teaching them someday in the future, or maybe someday soon? Wherever you are in this process, let’s have this episode give you a boost.

Today, we are going to zero in on one of the cranial nerves. It’s one of the more complex, multifaceted ones. Join me as we tackle the trigeminal nerve, cranial nerve V.

Maybe you’ve learned all the nerves of the brachial plexus, the cord levels, the innervations, etc. But do you know where they’re going? And where you might find them in the upper limb? Let’s dive deeper today so you know right where to look.

When you walk down the street, the sidewalk, the hallway, etc., your body moves in systematic ways to enable you to walk smoothly down the way. Today, we’ll talk about these phases and the muscles that are doing their thing.

There are some special areas in the upper and lower limb that can really help you quickly identify the structures that are there. You just need to find a few key structures and the rest falls into place. Join me so you can jumpstart you recognition on an upcoming test. Today, let’s talk about some special areas in the lower limb.
