That's the site that I use for bones. I could use some that help to remember the nerves. I guess I need to refer to it again.

Which nerves? All of them in general or the cranial nerves?

Yeah, the cranial nerves are a good start.

I read one in my text yesterday but I didn't write it down and I don't remember it.

I'm not sure if it qualifies, but I remember the alpha and beta cells of the pancreas in a somewhat funny way that works for me.

Alpha cells and glucagon go together and beta cells and insulin go together because of alphabetical order lol

When I was in my A&P this mnemonic helped me with learning about leukocytes (white blood cells):

Never= N stands for neutrophil

Let= L stands for lymphocyte

Monkeys= M stands for monocyte

Eat= E stands for eosinophil

Bananas= B stands for basophil

Hope this helps you whenever you have to learn about the blood and all of its components!!:)

By the way, this one and alot more others was in my A&P textbook, so you might have some in yours also.
