A&P Mnemonics!

Does anyone have any really good mnemonics to help remember ANYTHING in A&P classes? The workload is incredible and I cant think of any really GOOD ones! Thanks!

Before school started, I came up with this one for the organ systems: In School - Nursing. My Ever-Crazy Learning Really Doesn't Utilize Rest. (Integumentary, Skeletal, Nervous, Muscular, Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Reproduction). I didn't know the systems, but I created that sentence the first time I saw a list, and have been able to name them all perfectly ever since.

My teacher then taught us MURDERS LINC for the organ systems, but I'm kinda partial to mine.

I know I came up with some others, but since I can't think of them right now, I'm guessing they weren't all that effective! :rolleyes:

This one might not make any sense to anyone but it sure helped me keep the 2 words Exocrine and Endocrine glands separate! Just remember, endocrine glands are hormone producers END-NO ducts! (get it? "and no" ducts?...because they are the ductless glands?) stupid I know! But hey, this is the type of stupid stuff you have to come up with to remember the amount of information in that class! :chuckle:heartbeat

Good luck with your Anatomy class!!
