You can learn skeletal anatomy in seven days! College and high school students often have trouble learning anatomy. The reason is simple: the course is filled with long, unfamiliar names that are often hard to pronounce. Anatomy teachers are baffled that students can name intimate details about the lives of celebrities or sports stars but cannot name the major bones, muscles, and organs. “Know thyself” is an ancient Greek proverb inscribed above library entrances worldwide. The body structure is fundamental to self-knowledge and is a prerequisite to advanced study in medicine, kinesiology, physical therapy, nursing, and other allied health fields. Everybody should have anatomy knowledge because we live in our bodies. Anatomy is like the owner’s manual for a car.

Using an old coaching phrase, “Yard by yard is hard; inch by inch is a cinch.” Start by learning the names of the major bones, their parts, and their interactions with muscles and other body structures.
