Mnemonic for cranial nerves

[KR]

I am a freshman nursing student and in my A and P class we have to learn the 12 cranial nerves. I know that there are a couple little sayings out there to help remember them but I do not remember all of the one I heard before. I know the one was a little sick, but I don't care if it helps me to remember them. I would be very appreciative if someone would reply in the forum or in email if anyone knows what I am talking about or where I could find the sayings.

Thank you very much.

Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel A Giant Volcano, So Hot

Our teacher told us this one and I have never forgotten it.

Oh Oh Oh, To, Touch, And, Feel, A, Good, Vein, Ah, Heaven

I want to be a nurse said "Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel A Giant Volcano, So Hot" and Baptized_By_Fire said "On Old Olympus' Towering Top A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops".

What's the "S" stand for in the 11th nerve to y'all? Sensory?

I was taught that the 11th was the accessory nerve as in "On Occasion Our Trusty Truck Acts Funny, A Good Vehicle AnyHow".

It stands for the spinal accessory nerve.

hi. wow do i feel your pain!! i have a one, if you find it offensive i apologize.

ooo to touch a female always gives vinny some happiness

that saying helped me through a complete fill in the blank question on my test. when i got my test over this i wrote out my saying on the back and then i put what the nerve did either sensory, motor or both and what part it effected. that helpled me greatly, since after having to answer 20 more questions of mult choice!! hope this helps you!!:cheers: good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!
