I know this has been posted and reposted many times, but they are all over the place so whatever. Just wanted to add a few more I made up and haven't seen on the threads yet, feel free to add to this. Warning: Some are inappropriate.

Direction of Light in Eye

Come = Cornea
People = Pupil (via Iris control)
Lets = Lens
Read = Retina
Old = Optic Nerve
Books = Brain


Electromagnetic Waves

Run = Radio --> (High Wavelength + Low Energy = b/c Mary is tired from running)
Mary = Microwave
Its = IR
Vile = Visible
Ugly = UV
X-rated = X-Ray
Guy = Gamma
Cocks = Cosmic --> (High Frequency + High Energy = b/c if Mary gets caught, she will be pounded hard/energy and repeatedly/frequently)

Layers of Skin from Top to Bottom (S. = Stratum)

Come = S. Corneum = Keratinized
Lick = S. Lucidum = Clear/not easily visible --> think 'Lucid'
Grandma's = S. Granulosum = Keratohyalin Granules
Slimy = S. Spinosum = Spiny appearance due to Desmosomes
Balls = S. Basale = Basement layer + Stem Cells

ADH

Always Digging Holes
(Creates pores in collecting duct + Distal Convoluted Tubule --> Increase Permeability to Water --> Increase Reabsorption of Water --> Retain/Increase Blood Volume --> Increase Blood Pressure)
 
Direction of Sperm travel

SEVEN UP

Seminiferous tubules
Epididymis
Vans Deferans
Ejaculatory Duct
NOTHING

Urethra
Peepee

Hormones of the Adrenal Cortex from outer layer to inner layer.

Salt, Sugar, Sex...The deeper you go the sweeter it gets.

Glomerulosa=Mineralcorticoids (Salt)
Fasciculata=Glucocorticoids (Sugar)
Reticularis=Androgens (Sex)
 
hormones

Fsh-Follicle stimulating hormone
Lh- Leutinezing Hormone
A-ACTH
T-Thyroid stimulating hormone

P- prolactin
E- endorphins
G- growth hormones
 
Haha sometimes the dirtier they are the easier it is to remember. Here's another I just made up, but its not dirty:

Passage of Airway:

Please = Pharynx
Leave = Larynx
The = Trachea
Breathing = Bronchi
Alone = Alveoli


You could get more specific (Primary Bronchi, Secondary Bronchi, etc) but don't think they'll be that specific. If so, you can probably figure it out logically.
 
For cranial nerves:

Oh (Olfactory)
Oh (Optic)
Oh (Oculomotor)
To (Trochlear)
Touch (Trigeminal)
And (Abducens)
Feel (Facial)
a
Good (Glossopharyngeal)
Vein (Vagus)
Ah (Accessory)
Heaven (Hypoglossal)

There are a lot of dirty versions of this as well, but I felt creeping saying them out loud in group study sessions!
 
Domains in Order:

Kinky - Kingdom
People - phylum
Can - class
Often - order
Find - family
Good - genus
Sex - species
 
For cranial nerves:

Oh (Olfactory)

Regarding Cranial nerves and whether they are sensory, motor or both:

I came up with this today so IDK if it actually works but here it goes.

Only (Ovaries)- produce germ cells
Females (Fallopian tubes)- propel ovum to uterus
Uderstand (Uterus)- endometrium
Violets (Vagina)- reproductive tract.

(cuz men don't like flowers 😀)

also with the Seven Up- Vas Deferens- transport( V for Velocity so its job is to move sperm) sperm to the uthera.


Pur As Gold (purines= Adenine & Guanine)
 
This is for memorizing the correct formula to use when solving uniformly accelerated motion problems:
All (acceleration) dicks (displacement) will (velocity, said with a German accent) or will not (initial velocity, v naught, also said with accent) T-bag (time)
There you have it ....now each of these values will either be missing from the equation or not mentioned in the problem... after you have identified that, there is a Formula that lines up with each of them in the order stated. I.E (the big 5)
 
Calm let's get sun burn (the skin layers)
Boys turn men (bone tendon muscle)
Boys like basketball (bone ligament bone)
 
For cranial nerves:

Oh (Olfactory)--One
Oh (Optic)--Of
Oh (Oculomotor)--our
To (Trochlear)--trained
Touch (Trigeminal)--teachers
And (Abducens)-asked
Feel (Facial)-for
Vein (Vistibulocochlear)--very
Good (Glossopharyngeal)
Vagus--vodka
Ah (Accessory)--and
Heaven (Hypoglossal)--ham
