Mnemonics for Remembering Anatomy

Bones of the wrist

Some Lovers Try Positions That They Cannot Handle.

Slowly Lower Tilly's Pants To The Curly Hairs

Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate

Brachial plexus

Robert Taylor Drinks Cold Beer

Roots, Trunks, Divisions, Cords, Branches

Cranial nerves

Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel Virgin Girls Vaginas And Hymens--cranial nerves

On Old Olympus Towering Tops, A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops

You have I nose. You have II eyes.

I - Olfactory; II -- Optic

LR6 (SO4) 3--extraocularmotor muscles

LR6--Lateral rectus--> VI abductens

SO4--Superior Oblique--> IV Trochlear

3--The remaining 4 eyeball movers = III

What cranial nerve is Motor, Sensory, or Both

Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Bras Matter More

Branches of facial nerve

Ten Zebras Bought My Car

Ten Zebras Bit My Cock

Two Zulus Buggered My Cat

To Zanzibar By Motor Car

Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Masseteric, Cervical

Innervation of phrenic nerve

c345 keeps the phrenic alive

c345 keep the diaphragm alive

Nerve roots of long thoracic nerve innervate serratus anterior

c5-6-7 raise your arms to heaven

Thoracic duct

The duck is between two gooses.

duck = thoracic duct

2 gooses = azyGOUS and esophaGOUS

Pectoral Muscles

A lady between two majors.

Pectoralis major attaches to lateral lip of bicipital groove, the teres major attaches to medial lip

of bicipital groove, and the latissimus dorsi attaches to the floor of bicipital groove. The

"lati" is between two "majors."

Lateral is less, medial is more.

Lateral pectoral nerves goes through pectoralis major

while medial pn goes though both pec major and minor

Innervation of penis

Parasympathetic puts it up; sympathetic spurts it out.--innervation of penis

Point Shoot Score

Parasympathetic, sympathetic, somatomotor

"S2, 3, 4 keep the penis off the floor",

which refers to the innervation of the penis by branches of the pudental nerve which are derived from spinal cord levels S2-4

ABC'S

*A*ortic arch gives off the *B*racheiocephalic trunk, the left *C*ommon Carotid, and the left

*S*ubclavian artery

Layers of the epidermis

Granpa Shagging Grandma's Love Child.-

Brent Spiner Gained Lieutenant Commander

Germinativum or Basale, Spinosum, Granulosum, Lucidum, Corneum

Things going through Suprorbital Fissure

Luscious Lacrimal nerve (V1 branch of trigeminal nerve)

French Frontal nerve (V1 branch of trigeminal nerve)

Tarts Trochlear nerve (CN IV)

Sit Superior branch of Oculomotor nerve (CN III)

Naked Nasociliary nerve (CN V1 branch of trigeminal nerve)

In Inferior branch of Oculomotor nerve (CN III)

Anticipation Abducens nerve (CN VI)

Of Ophthalmic veins

Sex Sympathetic nerves

NAVEL--order of things in thigh

nerve, artery, vein, empty space, lymphatics

Cholinergic Crisis-Parasympathetic Stimulation:

SLUD

Salivation, Lacrimation, Urination and Defecation.

Sympathetic nervous system: Fight or Flight

Parasympathetic nervous system: Rest and Digest

Nothing beats the old classic list for remembering the branches

of the superior thyroid artery:

MAY muscular

I infrahyoid

SOFTLY superior laryngeal

SQUEEZE sternomastoid

CHARLIE'S cricothyroid

GIRL glandular

Occular Muscles

More seriously: "LR6SO4 rest 3"

Rectus Lateralis: 6th cranial nerve (abducens)

Superior Oblique: 4th cranial nerve (trochlear)

All other muscles(medial rectus, superior and inferior recti, and inferior oblique): 3rd cranial nerve (oculomotor)

Oculomotor Reflex is the 5 & dime reflex:

Afferent: Trimenimal V and Efferent: Vagus X

Can't remember which is plantarflexion and which is dorsiflexion of the foot? PLANTarflexion is what happens when you squash a PLANT with your foot.

Can't remember which is pronation and which is supination of the forearm? SUPinated is the position of the forearm when you are carrying a bowl of SOUP.

The bones of the wrist are in 2 rows of 4. Proximal row, from lateral to medial - Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetral, Pisiform. Distal row, from lateral to medial - Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate. Remember as - Students Like Taking Prostitutes To The Carlton Hotel. If you forget if you're starting at the lateral or medial side of each row, remember that the Scaphoid is in the anatomical snuffbox and the trapeziUM is at the base of the thUMB.

To remember the direction of the fibres of external oblique, think of hands in pockets ie. down and in. Internal oblique fibres run down and out.

A poetic way to remember the innervation of the diaphragm - C3,4 and 5, keep the diaphragm alive.

Similarly, to remember the innervation of serratus anterior - C5,6 and 7, raise your arms up to heaven.

The autonomic innervation of the penis is easy to remember with this phrase - Parasympathetic puts it up, Sympathetic spurts it out.

Remember the ABC'S - Aortic Arch gives off the Brachiocephalic trunk, left Common Carotid artery and the left Subclavian artery.

To remember the layers of the adrenal cortex (Glomerulosa, Fasiculata, Reticulata) and their products (Mineralocorticoids, Glucocorticoids, Sex hormones) - Go Find Rex, Make Good Sex.

Structures that pass through the supraorbital fissure are the Lacrimal nerve, Frontal nerve, Trochlea nerve, Superior branch of Oculomotor nerve, Nasociliary nerve, Inferior branch of Oculomotor nerve, Abducent nerve, Ophthalmic veins, Sympatheticnerves - Luscious French Tarts Sit Naked In Anticipation Of Sex.

Trigeminal nerve exits at Standing Room Only - Superior orbital fissure, foramen Rotundum, foramen Ovale.

The radial nereve innervates the BEST muscles - Brachioradialis, Extensors, Supinator, Triceps.

The small muscles of the hand innervated by the median nerve are LOAF - Lateral 2 lumbricals, Opponens pollicis, Abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis.

Neuroanatomy

To remember the cranial nerves - On Old Olympus Towering Tops, A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops.

To remember the first 2 - you have I nose (olfactory) and II eyes (optic).

To remember if the cranial nerves are Motor, Sensory or Both - Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Bras Matter More.

The branches of the facial nerve are - Two Zulus Buggered My Cat - Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Masseteric, Cervical.

Hormones of the anterior pituitary are FLAGTOP - FSH, LH, ACTH, GH, TSH, MSH, Prolactin.

A Surgical Sieve is a good way of classifying your answers about causes of things. A good one is CIMETIDINE NOVA - Congenital, Infective/Inflammatory, Metabolic/ Endocrine, Trauma, Idipathic, Degenerative, Iatrogenic, Neoplasm, Everything else!! eg. Neurological, Occupational, Vascular, Autoimmune.

Root values of reflexes are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 - S1-2 ankle, L3-4 knee, C5-6 biceps/supinator, C7-8 triceps.
