This is one of the hardest groups of bones to commit to memory and you will likely forget it if you don’t use it often. \u00a0College professors and some high school anatomy teachers might ask you to learn the bones of the wrist. \u00a0The task is made even more daunting by the fact that the pictures can be positioned in many different ways: right hand, left hand, pronated\u00a0hand, hand pointing up… etc. \u00a0 \u00a0A google search<\/a> for carpels will should you the many different ways the hand can be pictured. \u00a0It will do you no good to memorize the picture unless you know for sure which one your instructor will be using.

The best way to approach the memorization is to use helpful mnemonics like:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    S<\/span>he (A)\u00a0L<\/span>ooks (B)\u00a0T<\/span>oo (C)\u00a0P<\/span>retty \u00a0(D)<\/h2>\n

    This one is my favorite, those possibly a little too risque’ for high school.<\/p>\n
