Get a massive picture of a human body showing all the muscles and then label it. Probably best to learn using visual methods.

Tattoo all the pictures in Gray's on your body.

Are you any good at anatomy?

I study anatomy and physiology at college and find it hard, is there any way you could help me.

I found repetition works for me. Just looking at diagrams and images regularly. Colouring books are useful and I also really like the Visible Body Human Anatomy Atlas app - it's pricey but so worth it (there's a free version you can try).

Depends what part of the body you are looking at, and at what depth, but I wrote notes up and used pictures from Gray's and some of the Crash course books. I personally did not get much out of colouring things in or drawing my own diagrams etc. as they are never as good as Gray's so why bother. I need a 'narrative' to try and remember things.

Someone on another post recommended a game 'Poke A Muscle' http://www.anatomyarcade.com/games/PAM/PAM.html , there's also 'Whack A Bone'. They're both fab and a little addictive!

The process of making flashcards or detailed revision notes is a really good way to learn things in the initial instance. I built up images and got used to labelling them and locating them using essential anatomy 5 and also ripping off images from TeachMeAnatomy.Info. I then took screen shots of the images and designed various questions around them such as "what is the function of A?" and "what blood vessel/nerve supplies B?" I used the lecture slides to devise the questions. Our course was quite superficial so everything we needed to know was in the slides anyway. I just used additional sources to help me fill in information I wasn't sure of but they were only going to test me on what was in the slides.
I used A6 card and PowerPoint to produce them, double sided so that there were answers on one side and questions on the other. Then I used them as prompts for my revision. If I couldn't answer a question, I revised it and repeated it until I could. Then I checked again a few days later. If I could still answer it, I put it away.*
Just remember the 6 Rs:**

Recall
Revise
Repeat
