Limb Bones

Two Widely Used Schemes for
Memorization of Anatomical Data:
•Repetition: experiments on both students and rats show
that the timing is very important.
•Repetitions should be minutes to hours apart (not
days to weeks).
•The Hand Test and Foot Test are examples that can
be used for repetitive learning
•Mnemonics: memorize something easy, such as a simple
catchy phrase, then associate it with the items that you
want to memorize.
•Favorite method of medical students.
•Mnemonics for memorizing carpal & tarsal bones
are given in this presentation

Want to Make Your Own Powerpoints
for Studying Anatomy?
You need:
•A computer with the Powerpoint program
•A source of anatomy drawings, preferably
copyright free ones
•A source of medical mnemonics
Anatomical Drawings
Copyright Free Anatomical Drawings:
•Online:
•Gray’s Anatomy, 1918: 1250 free drawings with descriptions.
Excellent quality, but heavily labeled.
http://www.bartleby.com/107/
•Carl Bock. Handbuch der Anatomie des Menschen. 1841.
Put on the web by Ronald A. Bergman
http://www.anatomyatlases.org/atlasofanatomy/index.shtml
Great drawings; fewer labels than Gray’s.
•Old Books (UC Berkeley Biosciences Library: (Xerox, then scan):
•Cull, P., Ed. (1989). The Sourcebook of Medical Illustration.
Park Ridge, NJ, Parthenon. Simple line drawings. Copyright free.
•Toldt, C. (1907). Anatomischer Atlas fur Studierende und Arzte.
Berlin, Urban & Schwarzenberg.
•The Limb Bones Powerpoint uses line drawings from Cull.
•This disc has examples of drawings from Gray’s & Bock (skull & pelvis)
•Make your own photographs & drawings using our models
Medical Mnemonics
Some are in books like this:
•Goldberg, S. (1984). Clinical Anatomy
Made Ridiculously Simple. Miami, FL,
MedMaster.
There are many more on the Internet. The best
site that I have seen is Medical Mnemonics:
