How do you remember the 12 cranial nerves? There's this one really funny acronym that I heard a long time ago but I can't remember how it goes... thanks

Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel Virgin Girls' Vaginas And Hips

olfactory, optic, occulomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, spinal Accessory, hypoglossal

Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Boobs Matter Most
M = motor
S = sensory
B = both

you'll have the top mnemonic down in no time, but function is what's really important and the second mnemonic tells you whether each nerve is motor, sensory, or both.

also check www.medicalmnemonics.com for less offensive versions or just different ideas that may work better for you.

enjoy

hey, we actually just covered the cranial nerves and pathways. there are some other good ones to remember. i'll post them here for u all.

here is one for all the openings they pass through (i'll let you figure out what the first letters stand for)
C limbing – I
O n – II
S lippery - III
S urfaces - IV
S ometimes - V
F eels - V
Funny - V
S o - VI
I instead - VII
I - VIII
J ust - IX
J uggle - X
J ack - XI
H ammers – XII

and here is one that helps determine which ones is (m)otor or (s)ensory or (b)oth

Hey, that first one is a really useful one 🙂 the names of the 12 nerves isn't too bad, the paths are what are hard, so i think that's awesome. I also love the second one. I used the Big Boobs matter more version last year to get through it.

Just learn I -> Olfactory, II -> Optic, III -> Oculomotor ... You can't use an acronym each time you'll see VI or VII written in a book it will take too much time.

I agree with this to some extent, in that you do need to eventually know the nerves cold, but the mnemonic is key when you are first learning the nerves. After you have worked with the mnemonic for a while, you will just automatically have them memorized without really trying. That's when you will be able to recognize VII as the facial nerve when you read it in the book. At least, that's how it was for me...the mnemonic is just a starting point.
