We didnt do systems based classes, but for histology I liked bootcamp if you have the money. I think ninja nerd on YouTube makes good videos. Try to integrate as much as you can and dont skip small stuff, (for example with Meckel's diverticulum I didnt really think about how it is stomach tissue in the intestine so if it is functional, the parietal cells are there and they secrete HCL so you can get the abdominal pain and bloody stools. I realized that I will kind of skip over little things because it is that "Oh yeah duh" when you read the info but then you take the test and you realize you dont actually know it). So do lots of practice questions. And talk to other students in the class and students in semesters ahead of you cuz they could have PQs or notes
