At the beginning of learning anatomy, I was worried it will be hard to learn all this information by heart. Surprisingly, there is a lot to understand in anatomy, so it\u2019s not just blind memorisation. I ended up really enjoying the subject. Perhaps you will, too! \ud83d\ude42 Below I\u2019ve listed some of the summaries I used to learn things by heart for the\u00a01st year<\/strong>\u00a0anatomy exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Overview of Structures at Different Vertebra Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Knowing which structure is at which vertebra level is useful but also a popular exam question. This summary lists all levels mentioned in our 1st year anatomy handouts on one page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/levelscriedingerpdf\/9325325<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Classification of Joints<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Also very popular in exams. Lists the important joints on a single page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/classificationjointscriedingerpdf\/9325323<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Overview of Cranial Nerves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A colour-coded table summarising the most important facts about the cranial nerves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/cranialnervescriedingerpdf\/9325322<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Overview of Cranial Nerves carrying Parasympathetics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an overview where the parasympathetic fibres originate and run, which cranial nerves carry and then finally distribute them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/parasympatheticscriedingerpdf\/9325320<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Overview of Cranial Foramina<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another favourite of 1st year anatomy. There are plenty of great pictures showing the foramina in the different cranial fossae, but not so many showing where the foramina actually lead to. That\u2019s what this document is for, I found it quite useful to understand how things relate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/overview-cranial-foramina\/9610634<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Overview of Spinal Nerve Contributions to Named Nerves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is good to know for the 1st year exams and definitely remains important for clinical as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/nervelevelscriedingerpdf\/9325326<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n When I tried to study muscles for the\u00a01st year<\/strong>\u00a0anatomy exam, I got very frustrated: No book ever presented all the useful information at a glance. Instead of understanding\/memorising, I spent most of my time jumping between different resources, wasting a lot of time. I therefore prepared notes combining essential information in table format with a simple drawing, uploaded here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. An Easy Way to Learn Upper Limb and Shoulder Muscles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/learning-upper-limb-muscles\/10764323<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/an-easy-way-to-learn-shoulder-muscles\/11105732<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.
