These are tiny eggs (oocytes) growing inside little follicles within a woman’s ovary.

Happy Easter to all that celebrate.

3. A late unilaminar primary follicle with columnar epithelium containing a primary oocyte

4. An early multilaminar primary follicle containing a primary oocyte

5. A late multilaminar primary follicle containing a primary oocyte

Im trying to learn my anatomy and drawing what Im studying tends to help me remember things better, so I made this! I made this for personal reference but figured it might be helpful to some of you trying to learn hands too? It helped me a lot so I just figured, eh. I tried to keep it short and simple without going into too much detail, so pardon if there’s some stuff I omitted. Feel free to use it if you like! Im planning on making a Part 2 soon, which will have the hand structure, surface form, proportions, finger tapering, foreshortening, etc. Also please excuse my writing, I did my best to make it neat! >_<

Here are a few of my favourite techniques (not necessarily the best, just my favs!):

Flashcards: 

Flashcards are such a great way to study factual information. They’re not the best for learning the connections between facts or theories, but for learning the theories themselves this works really well. 

You can buy blank or lined cards of different sizes or you can just make your own by cutting paper / card. You could also use online sites or apps like quizlet to make digital cards.

Here’s my flashcard tag (for inspiration)

Pretend to teach:

This really tests your knowledge. Pretend that you’re teaching the topic to a class (or actually teach it to a friend). I have a whiteboard that I use as though teaching to a class, and I’ve found that it’s a great way to identify gaps in your knowledge that need to be built on.

Mindmaps:

Flashcards aren’t very good at helping identify connections between topics, but mindmaps are great at this! You can make them as colourful and complicated as you like, or you can keep them clean and simple.
