       This may seem a little strange but it can be useful using an anatomy 
        textbook to feel where the various parts of the body are located. This 
        can be done with muscles and bones even some nerves and blood vessels. 
      If you have ever had to take a written examination you know how annoying 
        it is not being able to remember everything. The beauty about anatomy 
        and human biology is that you take your own crib sheet into the exam each 
        time, your body! 
      What you are doing by "Having a good feel" is looking at the 
        "Surface Anatomy" of the body. 
      An easy one to try is to place your hand against the side of your face 
        alongside your ear. Then if you open and close your mouth you can feel 
        the movement of your jaw (temperomandibular joint) against your hand. 
       
      Similarly if you put your leg out and place your hand on your knee and 
        bend your knee up and down you can feel your patella moving. 
      In this way with a human biology or anatomy textbook, in front of you, 
        you can feel a large number of parts of the body to get an idea of where 
        they are and what they do.
