Oh and when you come across those people that talk you down remember they are obviously overusing their buccinator, platysma, mentalis and risorious.....or talking out their glutes.

When you are working out yourself, concentrate on the muscles you are using and what they are doing, and also how they relate to each other as you feel them move. Instead of counting reps (or whatever it is you sick puppies at the gym do) repeat to yourself the muscles you are using. HTH

Congrats on nearly finishing your course!
I agree, I don't think there's an easy way to remember them except for just using the anatomical names as often as you can.
DD has a wiggles DVD that has 'Dem Bones' on it and I always try to sing along with the correct anatomical names for the bones LOL!
I agree with jackrose too - once you've got the bones down, the muscle names are HEAPS easier to remember.
Good luck with the remainder of your study!

Huh...where the heck are those???
Phewf, well i've finished! I am going to get that colouring in book and I told everyone in my course about it too so sales are going to be going up. Now just have to keep the kids away from it...

The first lot are the muscles used for talking/tensing your mouth. I didn't know if you would have come across those ones since people don't often need a face workout! But if you don't know what Glutes are we need to have a serious talk.....!
ETA: oh and don't think I recited those off the top of my head, I looked them up in my trusty Tortora & Grabowski !

Haha only joking! "Cept I now only refer to them as Gluteus maximus, medius and minimus (wish mine was minimus!)

Good for you CombatQueen,
Gluteus maximus, medius and minimus seem to have stuck!
just thought it might help to tell you my little trick with the colouring book, I ended up photocopying any pages I coloured in rather than use the book and this meant that I could re-do a page at anytime if I needed more help or there was something on the page I learned at a later date. It also meant that I can resell the book if I want to later.
You could also consider getting together with a few classmates to purchase it to make it more affordable, cos we all know how damn expensive text books can be! Especially for poor students who are sacrificing a wage to study!
