favorite mnemonic devices/acronyms

[Julie S]

Hey everyone!

As you all know, mnemonics and acronyms can be very helpful study tools for anatomy. Please post your favorites/most helpful/all that you have!

Here is one that a classmate learned from undergrad and shared with us about the hip's lateral rotators:

People
Go
On and
Go
On
Questioning

or
Pee GO GO Quickly

Or PGOGOQ

This also helps to remember their order since they are listed superior to inferior!

Piriformis
Gemellus Superior
Obturator Internus
Gemellus Inferior
Obturator Externus
Quadratus Femoris
____________

Thanks in advance for contributing!

we always used Randy Travis. Although given his recent debacle, I don't know if that's in poor taste or even more relevant.

I learned "Real Therapists Drink Cold Beer" for the Brachial Plexus.


"On Old Olympus' Towering Top, A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops" for the cranial nerves, except they changed the names for VIII and XI.
