Mnemonics for anatomy

[Prometheus123]

Calling all premeds taking Anatomy and Physiology and MS1 warriors willing to pass down your wisdom: Got any mnemonics for the actions, origins, and insertions of the muscles of the legs, neck, or throat? I've got to memorize them all by Monday. Feel free to post anatomy mnemonics for other areas too so more people can benefit.

This is what I've got so far:

For the hip abductors, Organic Glen Got Probed There (Obturator internus, Gluteus medius and minimus, Piriformis, and Tensor Fasciae Latae).

For medial hip rotators, picture a guy in a suit with well-defined buttocks holding a latte with one leg medially rotated inwards like he's dancing with caffeine jitters (gluteus medius and minimus and tensor fasciae latae).

The gracilis flexes the knee because standing on one foot requires grace.

I have personally found mnemonics to be a waste of my time in the past. I have tried to learn using them but just do better actually learning it instead of wasting my time coming up with these things.

I know what you mean, I've had meh results with the mnemonics so far. In previous weeks I've just bulldozed through the material with Anki, but it seems so inefficient. I guess there's no quick fix for anatomy, eh?

Yeah i would go with Anki. The problem with mnemonics is it requires memorizing more things than usual, and personally, I get confused what each letter stands for and may accidentally confuse myself.

I know this is not helpful if you have already studied them but most of the neck muscles are just named [X][Y] where X and Y are the attachments: omohyoid, sternothyroid, cricoarytenoids, etc. You even get a bonus with sternocleidomastoid.

it's pretty raunchy

"Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel a girl's vagina. Ah, heaven."
"Ah" can be replaced with "such" depending on how you want to learn it

I have one for hand and feet bones but no muscles. I just used Anki heavily for muscles

And to go along with this one:

some say marry money but my brother says big boobs matter more.

S=somatic
M=motor
B=both

 

[jtd2081]

Guess my teachers were lame. I learned Sally Struthers Makes Money But My Brother Says Brigitte Bardot Makes More. The other was On Old Olympus Towering Top A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops.

 

[Planes2Doc]

Oh oh, to touch and feel vaginas gives Vick a hard on.

Some say money matters, but my brothers says big boobs matter more.

When you don't want someone anymore you tell them to 'eff' off.

Efferent- Go away
Afferent- Come here

This is as horny as SDN gets.
For the record, not a mnemonic.

Is that all ? 😏

I got good at memorizing the location via song. (I was bored and used to sing it to Let it Go. ) I have a slideshow of muscle orders and stuff if you want it.

Does anyone have advice for the Skeleton? I'm taking functional anatomy (my school didn't accept my credits so now I'm taking 3 different anatomy classes)but the Skeleton has always been the bane of my existence. The muscles were easy, but the bones, especially the skull..
