Mnemonic Devices

Create fun and memorable phrases to help remember lists of anatomical terms or organ systems. The sillier, the better—our brains love unusual stories! Repeating these mnemonics with friends or out loud can make memorizing much easier.

Examples

  • Remember the order of the cranial nerves with 'Oh, Oh, Oh, To Touch And Feel Very Good Velvet, AH!'

  • Use 'Sally Made Pretzels Or Uncle Roger Disapproved' to recall organ systems: Skeletal, Muscular, Pulmonary, etc.
