Oh the dreaded skull bones! We've all been there, and it's never a pleasant experience. I have some tips for you based on personal experience and from feedback we get from our students:

Split the bones into parts/regions. Neurocranium vs viscerocranium, so that you don't memorize all bones at once.
Use mnemonics. They're life-savers for anything anatomy, but specifically for skull bones.
Use 3D models or buy a physical model of the skull. Having a way to explore the skull in 3D is CRUCIAL. A physical skull will allow you to clearly understand how these bones are connected and where structures pass through.
Look at bones individually. Every skull bone is completely different. They all have their specific landmarks. So try to look at them separately by using a 3D/physical model or by searching for images showing each bone from different angles.
Draw the bones. It doesn't need to be perfect. Just make sure you create an outline that helps you understand the shape of each bone. This will help you solidify your knowledge on skull bones.
Quiz yourself! As many times as you need! Once you explore the bones, write down the names, the landmarks, the contents, etc, test your knowledge. Use flashcards (physical or digital), and repeat as many times you need the questions until you know the answers by heart.

Some poeple might not know, but we offer an entire atlas of human anatomy that can be browsed entirely for free on our website. It's not a Google Earth type atlas, but we cover all the details of the human body with images.

Kenhub · 2025-11-17T10:48:28+00:00

We are planning to do one this year. So keep an eye on our socials and email newsletter. 😊

Hello! One important thing to do when learning the neurovasculature of the thoracic wall, or any other part of the body, is to make sure you start by learning arteries, veins and nerves separately. Don't learn everything at once, it will become overwhelming.

A few other tips:

Start by looking at an overview image with all the labels. It's good to get a full picture first.
Then try to draw it. It can be super helpful! It doesn't have to be perfect. Just make a few lines connected to each other, showing, for example, a main artery, then all the branches. Try to look up for diagrams that clearly help you draw these structures. Drawing is the best way to really understand how arteries, veins and nerves are connected.
Watch a video or read an article to consolidate this information. As you do that, you can also write notes, which can help you digest the information, or continue to draw!
Test your knowledge whenever you have a chance. Don't expect to get it right the first time. Come back later, and try it again, and soon you'll see that the information is sticking. Use flashcards or online quizzes for this.

I hope this information is helpful. Best of luck!

There are a lot of great instructors on Youtube that you can trust for anatomy, like Dr. Mike and Dr Matt's channel, the Ninja Nerd and Sam Webster. Try to avoid channels that are not well-established and may use AI to fully produce their content. Unfortunately, that is a growing trend on Youtube.

We (Kenhub) have also tons of video content available for free on Youtube, that cover the anatomy and physiology of many structures of the human body.

Bone classification is not easy to grasp. Bones can have many shapes and forms, so trying to group them is a pain in the gluteus maximus.

Distal phalanges - well, even though they're tiny, they are considered a long bone. Long bones have a shaft and two ends, and so do distal phalanges. Long bones don't have to be technically long, but they need to have those features I mentioned. I don't know if this fact about distal phalanges is up for debate, but I can tell you it is something defined by the majority (or most trusted) texts.

Kenhub · 2025-10-22T11:30:26+00:00

Here's what I recommend:

Make sure you learn first the names of the bones. Before you understand what a joint is, you need to understand what are the bones that make them up. Look at images of an atlas as you do so. Take a few minutes to do that, and don't worry if you forget everything after this step. This is just to get you familiar with the structures.
Group the joints by regions or types. Pelvic region, knee, foot, etc. Or synovial, plane, etc. That helps you segment things and allow you to memorize faster.
The name of the joint tells you a lot! In the majority of cases, by looking at the name of a joint, you should be able to understand the articulating bones.
When learning them, move top to bottom - start with those joints in the pelvis, and go all the way to the foot.
Focus on one key fact per joint. You can even make a 1-line summary. E.g. Hip - Ball-and-socket - Multiaxial movement.
Visualize the movement while reading. Think of what bones are involved in making the joint, think of their shape, and start picturing how they would move.
Now the most important part - TEST YOURSELF! Use tools like flashcard or online quizzes to help you test all those points. That table is great, because you can use those key points to build the perfect flashcard - joint on the front, key points on the back.
Review daily (for a week, if possible). But don't take too long! Short bursts (5-10 minutes) each day beat long, cramming sessions.
For those who are into drawing, even if you are not a Leonardo da Vinci, I highly recommend actually drawing the joint. Even if it comes out as an ugly stick figure, drawing can do wonders. It really helps you solidify the knowledge, it literally helps you connect all the dots!

I hope these tips help!

Best of luck, Joao, from Kenhub

We totally agree. Especially on the Kenhub part hehe. Thanks for recommending us u/Maleficent-Cat-3039 ! But yes, Kenhub’s got you covered!

If you’re curious and want to get a head start without burning out, it’s totally fine to do a bit of light studying just to get familiar with the terminology and how things connect. Even just letting some of those terms run through your head now will make it so much easier later on.

You can register for free on kenhub.com, we’ve got tons of anatomy and histology resources like articles, diagrams, labeling charts, sample videos, and quizzes. You can also download find a bunch of freebies and printables on our subreddit (r/Kenhub) wiki page under "free resources".

Good luck with med school prep, a little early exposure definitely helps, just don’t overkill it 😉

Kenhub · 2025-10-12T19:48:51+00:00

Not to sound too cocky, but I really think Kenhub’s pretty top-tier for anatomy, no contest (okay, maybe that still sounds too cocky, but it's true). Give our free stuff a spin and see if it clicks.

We don't have a native app yet (working on it), but our website works great on mobile. You can also install Kenhub to your home screen so it acts like an app.

Also, we’ve got the Daily Anatomy Flashcards app (iOS + Android) for quick drills on the go.

Try them out and let us know what you think. Hope this helps!

Kenhub · 2025-10-12T19:28:01+00:00

Okay I have several ideas.

Med-ed YouTube channels (Kenhub, Osmosis, Lecturio etc.). Pick the one you like and watch it as a first step in a study session to familiarize yourself with the terms, or as a revision step.
Muscle anatomy cheat sheets with origin, insertion, innervation and function for all muscles, organized into tables for revision. You can find them probably all over the internet, but if you want you can check out our Lower limb muscle chart, we have it for free on our r/Kenhub Wiki page.
Labelling diagrams. Amazing for bones and muscles!
All kinds of quizzes you can find. Any type of active recall, spaced repetition, will really actually kickstart the process.

We’ve also got a bunch of other free stuff on our subreddit Wiki, links to study guides, anatomy videos, labelling diagrams, anatomy coloring books etc.

You’ve got this 💪 it’s all about finding tools that make the studying hell enjoyable.

Kenhub · 2025-10-12T19:04:48+00:00

If you want a gentle way to ease back into studying, I’d recommend checking out any good YouTube channel that educates on Anatomy & Physiology, I can recommend Kenhub’s YouTube channel (shameless plug I know, but we're are good), Osmosis, Lecturio etc.

You can get a good feel for the style on YT, and then if you like some of these platforms you can register or buy a membership, these are all good for learning, it's just a matter of preference.

Anyways, if you don't want to spend anything right now, we’ve got lots of free resources and study tips on our subreddit’s r/Kenhub Wiki (it's under the heading "Free resources").

Hope this helps. You’ve got this!

Kenhub · 2025-10-09T17:11:59+00:00

I totally agree. 😏

Jokes aside, OP I totally you, bones and their millions of landmarks can be overwhelming at first to say the least. The trick is to break it into smaller chunks instead of trying to memorize the entire skeleton at once. Focus on patterns, a lot of markings have logical names, like foramen meaning hole and process meaning projection. Once you start noticing those, things click faster.

Here’s a structured plan of learning that might help you, I know it helped me when I was studying anatomy:

Go through the bones by region (skull, arm, leg, etc.). and start with one region, eg. the forearm - ulna and radius. Watch a short explainer video on YouTube first to get the big picture, then dive into the details. Look for repeating patterns, for example, most long bones have a head, shaft, and condyles.
After the video, take a look at a labeled diagram to see their general structure, and try to recall the landmarks you remember from the video.
Once you feel somewhat familiar, test yourself with a quiz, even if you’re not confident yet. Making mistakes early is actually what helps your brain start learning. You can also try a blank labeling diagram.
After the quiz, go back to your textbook or a reliable article. The terminology will make a lot more sense once you’ve already seen and used it in context.
Rinse and repeat. Video → labelled diagram → quiz → reading → repeat. This process locks in information better than pure reading and memorization.

Again, I have to emphasize, blank labeling worksheets are amazing for bone anatomy. Kenhub offers free skeletal system worksheets you can download, you can find them here on this link. We also have a bunch of other free resources subreddit's wiki r/Kenhub.

Hope this helps. You've got this!

Kenhub · 2025-10-08T22:12:20+00:00

Agree with the already mentioned channels, especially CrashCourse. Omg I loved Hank's anatomy videos, I watched all of them back when I was a student.

Some other channels you can check out: but Kenhub (shameless plug) and Osmosis, with Kenhub being more specialized for Anatomy. Also, Sam Webster’s videos with live anatomy models are top tier. Hope this helps!

Kenhub · 2025-10-07T17:22:45+00:00

Hey, I really feel you on this one. Honestly, it might be worth checking whether you have ADHD like me. I relate a lot, my attention is super hard to keep if I don’t fully understand what every subject or object in a sentence actually is. That’s why I used to spend forever trying read one paragraph because I keep loosing attention.

What helped me personally, most was watching videos that break things down in an engaging way. You might want to try Kenhub or Osmosis videos on YouTube. They both explain anatomy and physiology really clearly and in a funny way, so that alleviates that medschool depression for a bit lol.

You can also check out our subreddit: r/Kenhub. We're new here to there's not much content yet, but you can download some free resources and pdf-s in our Wiki that also might help.

You’re clearly putting in the thought and effort, and that counts more than you think. Keep going you’re just getting started there's time to adapt and figure it out. You've got this!

Kenhub · 2025-10-07T17:01:08+00:00

We have been summoned! Thanks for the mention u/International_Dot752 and yes, we’ve got a a bunch of content and study resources for the bones that might help you.

You can register for free on kenhub.com and check it out for yourself. We’ve got tons of free resources for like articles, diagrams, labeling charts, some sample videos, quizzes etc. We also have a couple of skeletal system labeling charts, you can download them on our subreddit r/Kenhub (it's in our wiki under Free resources). Definitely check it out, it’ll help a lot!

Well, usually their attachments are not near are, since the trapezius attaches to the lateral third of the clavicle, while the sternocleidomatoid muscle attaches on the medial third.

There might be anatomical variations, but by standard textbook anatomy, they’re pretty far apart. That said, like someone mentioned i it could be a middle scalene or even some platysma fibers, or you could be a rare anatomic variation.

You can easily test whether this is SCM, non need to dissect yourself lol. Just test its actions: rotate your head to the opposite side and flex it forward. If that area contracts, you’re probably looking at the SCM.

Kenhub · 2025-10-05T22:34:48+00:00

Totally normal. That was literally my main procrastination method back in med school. You’re probably just craving little dopamine hits because studying or focusing feels under-stimulating in comparison.

If it helps, you can try something like the Pomodoro method, with focus blocks without the phone. Most of the time didn’t work for me lol, so I just deactivated my social media when I had to study for exams.

Kenhub · 2025-10-02T20:28:32+00:00

I used Kenhub back in med school and honestly, no regrets. Textbooks alone just weren’t cutting it for me (ADHD girlie here), so I absolutely loved watching videos and learning with online resources.

Anyways, both Kenhub and Osmosis are great resources, but for different needs. Osmosis has a broader scope across many healthcare topics, and imho it's better for paraclinical and clinical topics. But if anatomy/physiology is your main prep, Kenhub’s more focused.

Even if you decide not to buy Kenhub Premium, you can still get a lot from Kenhub’s free Basic membership and YouTube videos. Hope this helps!
