Any tips for research the muscles of the human body (origins, insertions, etc.)?
Answers:
Knowing a smattering of Latin and Greek helps. The deltoid muscle is shaped like an inverted income delta, sort of. The serratus posterior is in the back and has saw-like form (Serra = saw contained by Latin) And so forth.
Rote --> read those books over and over.
Surface anatomy with your classmates is the best - you will never forget those study groups.
Physical exercise - estimate about which muscles you are training.
Get a Netter's and a full-sized skeleton model with the insertions marked.
Spend many hours correlating the two.
Sorry. It's purely a matter of memorization and familiarizing yourself--you can try mnemonics, but there are basically too many details for there to be any really easy passageway out of it. We've all suffered through it.
On the other hand, as my anatomy professors always used to cheerfully point out, you hold a built-in cheat sheet for the test: you're allowed to bring your body to the exam room with you. ;-) Source(s): MD.
