Talking about anatomy!!

So I thought I would bring uni to the forums to make studying fun.

When I say anatomy I'm referring to the bones in the body and they have things called bony landmarks which are sites of muscle attachment. And of course I'm also talking about muscles... ever wondered how many little muscles are involved in coordinating hand movements??!! LOTS

 

I feel like talking about the shoulder girdle.... I bet I just confused everyone now Smiley LOL

Haha oops, maybe I should stop tagging you 😛

 

Oooh nutrients are interesting. Have you started looking at glycolysis/Kreb's cycle yet? (or maybe I did that in biology - all the subjects are a blur now :P)

Soz @Ben-RO @loves netball for the delayed reply.

The memory palace is a brilliant method of memorizing...anything! You essentially code information to specific points in a familiar space to you and simply follow that familiar space to each new item. So say that your house is the place you know the best (probably!). First place you start is probably the front door. We'll assume you're trying to remember 15937. So the front door is where you put 1. So the door has 1 doorknob. There's your first cue! Moving on, on the right, say you have a table on there with a plant. If you imagine a plant with five huge snarling leaves like the giant dog in Harry Potter, then there's your second cue! Then you can keep going from there. The more vivid the image, the better you can retain it. I reckon it's an awesome way to remember things because the brain naturally remembers spatial information well. I used it to memorize the entire periodic table in order before for fun. It gets easier the longer you use it though if you don't revise it, as always, you'll forget and it's quite time consuming to start. It's a very cool party trick and better applied, a fantastic memory tool. Essentially, the more creative the thought, the better.

@RevzZ I remember learning about the memory palace trick from Todd Sampson's Redesign My Brain. So so cool what our brains are capable of!

You have eight carpal bones in the wrist, 5 metacarpal bones in the hand and then bones in the fingers (3 in each finger and two in the thumb) are phalanges. The phalanges are just referred to as proximal, middle and distal. The metarcarpals are just numbered 1-5.

 

The carpal bones have names - a little saying I was taught first year uni to remember the order... Sally Left The Party To Take Cathy Home... Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezuim, trapezoid, hamate.

 

I'll do the ankle later (it refers to tarsal and metatarsals).

Welcome back!
