12 Cranial Nerves. . .of Christmas

[MizMeesha]

I find cranial nerves interesting, how they work, what they do, how they effect us MSers with Brainstem lesions - I also find its a little tricky to remember what all 12 pairs do.

In this video, Professor Hope at the University of Nottingham demonstrates to his Neurology students - a method that will help us all remember the 12 cranial nerves. (This guy makes me want to go back to University).

Enjoy.

Love this! Watched a few months ago ... thanks for the reminder .

The way they teach us to remember them in Anatomy and Physiology in both nursing and medical school is:

Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel A Girls Hyman And Vagina.

The A after feel stands for Auditory nerve.

We didn't forget the order or which nerves were in the cranial system! Only a man could come up with this, but hey, it works.

Take care

we learned it with:

On Occasion Our Trusty Truck Acts Funny, Very Good Vehicle Any How

Maybe that's why I can't list them in order--I could never remember that complete saying :/ I need a better mnemonic device
