Share you A&P mnemonics!

Published

I thought it would be nice to have a collection point for A&P mnemonics. Some people find these really helpful. I don't have any yet, but I will share mine when I come up with them.

Oh and I just found this site on accident when I was googling mnemonics to make sure I spell it right.

MedicalMnemonics.com

Here is one for the vertebrae:

There are 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar...

(not including the sacrum).

To remember this: most people eat breakfast at 7, lunch at 12 and dinner at 5

This is pretty simple but I hope that it might help someone!
