Hello all,
I am trying to find an easy way to remember the glands & what hormones they release??? I am hoping someone somewhere can help, perhaps with a saying - like that in remembering the rainbow colours 'ricahrd of york...'
Any ideas as this is the system that panics me the most!
I have my A&P exam in Sept so a while to go but peace of mind helps..
Many thanks x

Mind-mapping, I'm Dyslexic, so Mind-Mapping helps alot with remembering things like this.

Just imagine 50 years ago, you were a student at Guy's!:
FROM: WHILLIS'S ELEMENTARY ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 4TH EDITION (1957) - WRITTEN FOR STUDENTS AT GUY'S HOSPITAL
It is frequently the complaint of students that they cannot recall the names for things, a form of 'aphasia' which shows significantly high incidence amongst those ill provided in other directions. Intelligible conversation is impossible without recognisable terms; especially is this true of medical knowledge, where great numbers of individually named structures and processes must be considered in everyday discussion. Fortunately, a majority of anatomical terms are rational, appropriate and even self-explanatory to anyone possessed of modest education,
a little curiosity, and some perseverance.
This cannot be said of the names of many commonplace things, whose labels we learn in multitudes without great difficulty or complaint.
We do so by habit and familiarity, and herein lies the key
not merely to successful absorption of anatomical terminology but further to the firm acquisition of anatomical knowledge itself.
