S2, 3 4, helps keep penis off the floor.
Its the innervation of the sacral nerves that innervates the genetal area.

(branches off of the axillary artery)

Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas

(leukocytes in order of higher frequency in body: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils... btw finding a basophil is harder than getting chicks to date you by impressing them with your med school mnenomics)

Mnemonics

pneumonics==the study of pressure phenomena?

ten zebras bit my cockatoo. Thats for the facial nerves (I heard it on ER)

This one is from my into biology course I took last year, its for domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species: damn king philip can order F***ing good sex.

Great Stuff. I love it! Thanks for sharing and by all means keep them coming.

Mneumonics? I guess I'm not much of a speller.

No "u."

Am I in a spelling bee now? If you would have asked me to use coming in a sentence I might have gotten it right. Arnold can use it in a sentence...

You would have gotten it if you asked for the word origin or the part of speech.

this is why i never looked at this thread..i was wondering what pneumonics they were talking about... im sitting on a pneumonic chair as we speak


i love the sites!!!
i love them ..makes memorizing fun..i wish someone had some for the alphabet bk when i was five !

I know this isn't medically related, but here goes:

From my EMT teacher:

4 major types of shock:

Hypovolemic
Obstructive
Distributive

And for paramedics when they can't figure out what they need to do, just vomit:

Vitals
O2
Monitor
IV
Transport

It doesn't have to be medicaly related. What truly matters is that it makes some reference to drugs or sex, or perhaps something unbelievable silly, for the purposes of studying.

YES!!!!

an M4 told me about this one... "what are the 4 birds of the mediastinum? azygoose (azygous v), esophagoose (esophagus), hemiazygoose (hemiazygous v), and thoracic duck (thoracic duct)." it's incredibly silly and absolutely useless, but i thought it was funny.

Branches of the facial nerve:
The Zebra Bit My Cock

Wrist bones:
Some lovers try positions that they can't handle.

Cranial nerves:
Oh oh oh to touch and feel virgin girls' vaginas and hymens.

I mnemonics.

The version of the cranial nerves mnemonic in my anatomy class was so PC in comparison!

Oh oh oh to touch and feel very good velvet, ahhh.

Indeed. I'm still hoping to see someone take the bait and call out the seven-year-old OP for misspelling mnemonic.

To remember the carpal bones or bones of the wrist (from bottom to top, left to right in anatomical position)

Some - Scaphoid
Lovers - Lunate
Try - Triquetrium
Positions - Pisiform
That - Trapezium
They - Trapezoid
Can't - Capitate
Handle - Hamate

And this one was taught to us by our anatomy professor: to remember which spinal nerves (whether posterior or frontal) receive sensory information or send out motor information, just remember that gay men "feel" on their back and "do" on the front...if you know what I mean. Lol this one I've never forgotten.

Here's a doosey:

Please
Excuse

We learned this one in paramedic school to remember the type/functionality of each cranial nerve.
S = sensory, M = motor, B = both

In the last seven years, mnemonics have gotten decidedly lamer.

Learned both these in undergrad too...was pretty awesome considering we had a hot anatomy teacher! haha

Yeah, seems like seven years ago they had a little more wind in their sails


Whoever orchestrated the change from pneumonics to mnemonics is on my sh:t list.

The worst pneumonic ever is the plague, of course.

Nice, definitely a helpful post...will help me on my exams!

Never heard this one! Our class stuck to the Some Lovers Try Positions.....

I actually think they're both equally effective in the end though. Don't always have to be more provocative to stick.

And to actually add something marginally useful to this thread, there are two tabs of anatomy and medical acronyms at the Action Potential blog (no conflicts to report.)

I like my mnemonics to make some sense in regard to what they represent.

Leukocytes in order of % in adults:

Now Let's Make Everything Better.

Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils.

I like all of the sex related ones, but I had trouble keeping the names of all the girls straight. I would be in the middle of an exam thinking, "Wait...was Sally on her knees, or was that prostitute's name Karen?"

Can't believe someone else on here knows this one! Haha. My version is a little bit different though:

Some Old Hippie, Caught Another Hippie, Tripping On Acid

I learned this one in 10th grade and never forgot it. I still use it for projectile motion problems and such on the MCAT.
