One common mnemonic used to remember the contents of the Tarsal tunnel from anterior
to posterior is "Tom, Dick and Harry".[5][6][7] or alternatively "Tom, Dick (and very
nervous) Harry" if the artery, vein, and nerve are included.
One mnemonic for remembering the contents of the cavernous sinus is "OTOM CAT".[8]
The branches of the subclavian artery can be remembered using VITamin C and D.
The contents of posterior mediastinum can be remembered using the mnemonic,
"DATES", for Descending aorta, Azygous vein and hemiazygos vein, Thoracic duct,
Esophagus, Sympathetic trunk/ganglia.[9]
A commonly used mnemonic to remember the level of the diaphragmatic apertures is
this: Aortic hiatus = 12 letters = T12. Oesophagus, Vagal trunk = 10 letters = T10. Vena
cava = 8 letters = T8
Another common mnemonic is:Voice Of America :vena cava oseophagus aorta

Standing room only can be used to remember that V1 passes through the superior orbital
fissure, V2 through the foramen rotundum, and V3 through the foramen ovale.[10]
Contents of the foramen magnum: VAMPS-ATM (Vertebral arteries, Anterior Spinal
artery, Meningeal branches of the cervical nerves, Posterior spinal arteries, Spinal part of
the accessory nerve, Alar and Apical ligaments of the dense, Tectorial membrane,
Medulla oblongata)[citation needed]
Deep cerebellar nuclei and their positions relative to the midline: "Fat Guys Eat Donuts,"
where each letter indicates the medial to lateral location in the cerebellar white matter
(nucleus fastigii, globose nucleus, nucleus emboliformis and dentate nucleus).[citation needed]
A mnemonic to remember the muscles that contribute tendons to the pes anserinus and
the innervations of these muscles is SGT FOT (sergeant FOT): S- Sartorius G- Gracilis
T- semiTendinosus (from anterior to posterior). F- femoral nerve O- obturator nerve T-
tibial division of the sciatic nerve. Notice the order of the muscles (S, G, T) follows the
order of the innervating nerves which correspond to those muscles (F, O, T)[citation needed]
The femoral triangle is shaped like the sail of a sailing ship and hence its boundaries can
be remembered using the mnemonic, "SAIL" for Sartorius, Adductor longus and
Inguinal Ligament.[11]
The order of structures in the femoral triangle is important in the embalming of bodies, as
the femoral artery is often exposed and used to pump embalming fluids into the body.
The order of this neurovascular bundle can be remembered using the mnemonic,
"NAVY" for Nerve, Artery, Vein, Y -fronts (the British term of a style of men's
underwear with a "Y" shaped front that acts as a fly). The "Y" is midline (corresponding
with the penis) and the mnemonic always reads from lateral to medial (in other words, the
Femoral Nerve is always lateral). An alternate to this mnemonic is "NAVEL" for Nerve,
Artery, Vein, Empty Space and Lymph, to include the deep inguinal lymph nodes located
medial to the Femoral vein.[citation needed]
A useful mnemonic to remember popliteal fossa anatomy (medial-to-lateral
arrangement) is: Serve And Volley Next Ball. S: semimembranosus and semitendinosus
(superior medial border) A: artery (popliteal artery) V: vein (popliteal vein) N: nerve
(tibial nerve) B: biceps femoris (superior lateral border). The lateral and medial heads of
gastrocnemius form the inferior border.[12]
Cranial nerves
There are many mnemonics for the names of the cranial nerves, e.g. "OOOTTAFAGVSH" is
"OLd OPen OCeans TROuble TRIbesmen ABout Fish VEnom Giving VArious ACute/SPlitting
Headaches" (a mnemonic that gives enough letters to distinguish between nerves that start with
the same letter), or "On old Olympus's towering tops, a Finn and German viewed some hops,"[13]
and for the initial letters "OOOTTAFVGVAH" is "Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel very good velvet
... ah, heaven."[14] The differences between these depend on "acoustic" versus
"vestibulocochlear" and "spinal-accessory" versus "accessory".
A common example mnemonic for remembering which nerves are motor (M), sensory (S), or
both (B), "Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Benevolent Bride Matters More".
There are a very large number of additional mnemonics.[15]
For the five branches of the facial nerve there are: Two Zebras Bit My Cookie or To Zanzibar By

Extraocular muscles
A good mnemonic to remember which muscles are innervated by what nerve is to paraphrase it
as a molecular equation: LR6SO4R3.[19]
Another way to remember which nerves innervate which muscles is to understand the meaning
behind all the Latin words.
The fourth cranial nerve, the trochlear, is so named because the muscle it innervates, the
superior oblique, runs through a little fascial pulley that changes its direction of pull (the
trochlea of superior oblique). This pulley exists in the superiomedial corner of each orbit,
and "trochl-" is Latin for "pulley."
The sixth cranial nerve, the abducens, is so named because it controls the lateral rectus,
which abducts the eye (rotates it laterally) upon contraction.
The third cranial nerve, the oculomotor, is so named because it is in charge of the
movement (motor) of the eye (oculo-). It controls all the other muscles.

A WET BED
E – ELECTROLYTE balance
T – TOXIN removal
E – making ERYTHROPOIETIN
D – Vitamin D metabolism
A simple mnemonic for remembering this is "See I? I see, I see," with "see" representing the C in
"contralateral," and "I" representing the I in "ipsilateral." Another is "Emily and Pete meet eye to
eye" as in "M and P meet I to I," or again, Magno and Parvo meet Ipsi to Ipsi.
Another way of remembering this is 2+3=5, which is correct, so ipsilateral side, and 1+4 doesn't
equal 6, so contralateral.
