Our senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, keep us informed about our environment. In this section we look at a subset of the nervous system, out ability to sense. This is also one of those topics that may or may not be covered in an Anatomy & Physiology 1 course. If this topic is covered be sure to find out how much detail you need to know. I have meet instructors who gloss over this chapter because it is at the end of the A&P 1 course, and I have also meet instructors who expect you to know ever little piece of information. Be sure to find out.

Brains, we need them, and zombies eat them. Sorry, me sense of humor grabbed the keyboard for a seconds. The nervous system is in my opinion one of the most fascinating topics covered in Anatomy & Physiology. This might be why I got my BA in Psychology. At this point in time you should be feeling a little punch drunk from the A&P class. This is normal, the worst is behind you. The biggest problem student have from this point till the end of the course is burn out. Here is where time management will help you immensely.

Of all the chapters covered in Anatomy and Physiology I would say this one causes the most carnage. Hopefully going into the muscular system you have a strong grasp of the skeletal system. If you have not started to make note cards at this point in time during your class, DO SO NOW. I can not stress enough how much note cards help during the muscular system unit.

Joints and articulations are part of the skeletal system. I have found in more and more Human A&P 1 classes that they are typically talked about separately. This is a good thing! There is so much you have to learn in the skeletal system alone, that having Joints and Articulation discussed in a different section give you, the student, a breather as it where.
Quick (lame) A&P 1 Joke: What did one bone say to the other bone? What are you doing in a joint like this.
The study of the skeletal system marks a milestone in your life as a student in the life sciences. It is in the skeletal system chapter when the memorization really starts. It is also in this chapter where the good portion of the course attrition (drops) occur. My humble suggestion to you the learners is to spend as much time as you possible can going over and over these bones. Get in your lab whenever possible, look at, and touch all the bones while you study.
