Toilet Paper, My ***.

Tricuspid /Pulmonary/Mitral/Aortic Valves

That's how I remember it. ?

Thank you very much!

I did Google, but I was looking to see if anyone had any others they thought up but haven't shared! I think I might go with Toilet Paper My ***! It seems a lot of people are! ?

I realize this is probably too late for your exam, but the Potsie song from Happy Days! LOL.

Here's another one. We watched this in A&P 2. The darn song is hard to get out of your head after listening to it.

I just drew the heart (it's square). I know all the landmarks, but it helps to see them visually.

This is going to sound just beyond silly, but this video helped me in A&P ?

Here is something I put together to help me.

Venus

Right

Atrium

Tricuspid > Right Ventricle > Pulmonary valve > Lungs

escaped the

Left

Atrium

Bicuspid > Left ventricle > Aortic valve > Body

and Pushed All the cheese in the VALVES on the way out!

PULMONARY AND AORTIC VALVE are points of exit from the ventricles.

Aorta= 5 letters= Right Vena Cava = 4 letters = Left

Drawing a square and dividing it into four boxes as of 4 quadrants of heart and then remembering all the landmarks. Landmarks will fall into their place. In Google, the mnemonic you can find is Toilet Paper My ***. But drawing the rough image can work much better than the mnemonic.
