    hope it can help!
    Huh. That's funny, I learned it slightly differently. "On Old Olympus's Towering Tops A Fin And German Viewed Some Hops"

    olfactory
    optic
    oculomotor
    trochlear
    trigeminal opthalmic branch, maxillary, mandibular branch
    abducens
    facial
    auditory
    glossopharyngeal
    vagus
    spinal-accessory
    hypoglossal

    Not that it makes much difference. lol

    i have a good one my med/surg professor taught me for quickly telling whether you have an acid base problem that is metabolic or respiratory.
    the first thing you do is glance at the number for the ph; from that you determine if it the body is in acidosis or alkalosis. from there you think elevators or see-saws.
    for this mnemonic, you assume that all elevators go in the same direction.
    if it is a metabolic acid-base problem, you have elevators. the ph, bicarb, and co2 levels will all be going in the same direction (assuming you have partial compensation with the co2).
    if it is a resp. acid-base problem, you will have see-saws, and the co2 and bicarb levels will go high when the ph goes low and low when the ph goes high (assuming you have partial compensation with the bicarb).
    it sounds complex, but it really works. all you have to do is remember elevators and see-saws -- from there you have metabolic and resp. acid/base down quickly and easily!
