Mnemonics

The mnemonics I've used so far are:

• For cranial nerves - "On Occasion Our Trusty Truck Acts Funny, Very Good Vehicle AnyHow" (olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, and hyploglossal)
  
• For the vertebra, just remember the times people typically eat meals; 7am - breakfast - 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 pm - lunch - 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5pm - dinner - 5 lumbar vertebrae

Hope this helps!
