What is an effective strategy for remembering the names of our 206 bones?

Answer 1

I had to memorize them a few weeks ago for Anatomy class. The way I did it was to find them on the model and go over them multiple times. Also, use acronyms for the bones in the hands and feet. You can use acronyms for a lot of other bones too! Hope thas helped some...good luck!

Answer 2

Memorization, the bones aren't the hard part to remember it's the sutures, fissures, notches and lines that are fun! Of course, what I did was took edible paint and wrote on my boyfriend each bone I could write on, then if I was right I got to lick it off! (Very fun and I remembered most, made me smile while I took the test.)

Answer 3

Group them like a binary tree, you only need 8 layers.

2^8 = 256

Answer 4

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Write them, say them, look at them, draw them. We made little stupid jokes about them, and we made acronyms for the skull and all of the foramens and ovales that it contains. The more stupid the acronyms were, the better we remembered them!
