Why is anatomy so difficult to learn?

Answer 1

Because it's all memory work. Think of some kind of pattern that will help you.

Digestion
Respiration
Circulation
Senses
Movement
Skeletal.

I don't think there is anything for it but hard slugging.

Answer 2

it depends. Pharmacology requires knowledge of chemistry and physiology. Both tough subjetcs. You would need to know a lot fo organic chemicstry and how molecules are structured and how they act upon other chemicals and how they are influenced. If you have a strong background in chemistry and math (drug calculations for dosage) then pharmacology will be easier. Anatomy requires a lot of memorization. There are many minute structures that must be learned, and these take time, and practice to get down. Sadly, nothin but exposure and memorization will help you here. If you had a lot of fun in biology and like dissections and understand the physical structure of the body (gross anatomy) then anatomy will be easier to learn. In a medical program, both are critical and important to success.

Answer 3

i'm not entirely sure why anatomy is so difficult for you to learn. i have friends that find it easy. it just depends on what kind of student you are and if you have a good memory i suppose. most of my friends in anatomy classes do fairly well with memorization, so they don't have many problems. you just may not have that kind of memory, so when you try to learn something, it takes a while for it to stick.

Answer 4

Learn all the Latin roots and suffixes and what they mean in English. You learn them and anatomy will come much easier.

Answer 5

Because they don't typically teach Latin in school anymore.
