Need help learning anatomy! GAH

I have my exams for first year right after the Christmas holidays and I'm having a hell of a time learning anatomy my biggest exam is my musculoskeletal so most of it is anatomy. Was wondering if any current/former vet students (or any other health care students that might see this) have any Advice for learning anatomy?
I know the main thing is repetition repetition repitition but I don't want to spend all of my time just doing anatomy and not have time to revise histology/immunology/LCB etc.

If your uni has interactive resources so actual anatomy pictures use those, otherwise for anatomy you need to make the most out of your practicals, and any revision sessions you may have. Anatomy books help, Saunders anatomy flash cards and the colouring books help. I drew mine out over and over again in first year, but it depends how you learn. Get a friend to help you by testing you using flash cards? Don't spend hours going over it though, because the majority of exams only ask you a few questions on it. Know origins/insertions/actions and innervations of muscles for forelimb/hindlimb, and that's done by repeating them over and over again, I used to repeat them to my friend and she did the same back to me during first year and it went in eventually!

Good luck with your first vet school exams, don't panic!!
