You can learn it practically if you take a couple of anatomy classes oriented towards a medical career. A good chunk never really get used outside of precision in documentation, if it's a specialty (everyone says "cheek", but the dentist says "buccal"), or if the common term is actually too vague to work with (broken arm -> greenstick fracture of the left radius)
Taking an anatomy class to talk like a plastic surgeons billing notes is just weird.
What point are you trying to make? Is this the end goal of the "cool and useful things" that you find, to make obnoxious posts using esoteric nomenclature? Because nothing you said is actually related to the conversation at hand. It just seems like you're trying to show off... it's not as creepy as the OP given the subject matter, but it is pompous and weird.
Now please take your time with the inevitable "my diction threatens you" reply.
Wat.
