Anatomy+physiology

I’m struggling with this sm bc I have to UNDERSTAND why things are the way they are but my lecturer has said that with learning the different bones/muscles I just have to memorise them?? And I can’t just memorise them I need to understand them! Has anybody got any tips on how to understand anatomy and physiology

for anatomy I found drawing the bones and muscles helped with visualising how they look. Investing in a skeleton model is what helped me significantly. I normally start off with bony landmarks. After that muscle origin and insertions becomes a lot easier.

Ultimately its just a memorizing game so repeating landmarks, origin and insertions throughout the day is what i found has helped me
