Mad Pre-Med Mnemonics

Hi fellow students, I am a pre-med student from UBC, and currently registered to take the MCAT on July 18th 2015. I can relate to the struggle and stress of having to memorize all of the informations for the MCAT. This is what inspired me to start this blog, so hopefully it will be a bit help when you can't think of a better way to remember. Leave a comment if there are contents that are hard for you to remember and I haven't covered yet, and we can perhaps come up with a Mnemonic together :)

The XII Cranial Nerves

The 12 Good Old Cranial Nerves That Every Pre-Med Has To Memorize

On Old Olympus Towering Top, A Fin A German Viewed A Hop

I: Olfactory
II: Optic
III: Oculomotor
IV: Trochlear
V: Trigemina
VI: Abducens
VII: Facial
VIII: Auditory (Vestibulocochlear)
IX: Glossopharyngeal
X: Vagus
XI: Accessory
XII: Hypoglossal

Some of you may have trouble remembering the order of the cranial nerves even with the help of this mnemonic, this is how I customize mine.

The first one is Olfactory because your nose at the front of your face, and then the eyes is behind (Optic), and then the nerves to control eye ball movement is behind the eye (Oculomotor), and another one (Trochlear).

Hey! These are extremely helpful and I'm just seeing them now. Would you by any chance have any more mnemonics?! :) Thanks so much!
