Anatomy Mnemonics 09jan08WARNING: Most mnemonics are 18SX and dirty. Intended for educational purposes only.

Pterygoid muscles: function of lateral vs. medial

Look at how your jaw ends up when saying first syllable of Lateral or Medial':

La: your jaw is now open, so Lateral opens mouth.Me: your jaw is still closed, so medial closes the mandible.

Supine vs. prone body position

Supine is on your spine. Therefore, prones the other one. Also, prone to suffocate inprone position.

Meckels diverticulum details

2 inches long. 2 feet from end of ileum. 2 times more common in men. 2% occurrence inpopulation. 2 types of tissues may be present.

Note: di- means two, so diverticulum is the thing with all the twos.

Perineal vs. peroneal

Perineal is in between the legs. Peroneal is on the leg.

Anterior forearm muscles: superficial group

There are five, like five digits of your hand. Place your thumb into your palm, then lay thathand palm down on your other arm.

Your 4 fingers now show distribution: spells PFPF [pass/fail, pass/fail]: Pronator teres,Flexor carpi radialis, Palmaris longus, Flexor carpi ulnaris

Your thumb below your 4 fingers shows the muscle which is deep to the other four: Flexordigitorum superficialis.

Carpal tunnel syndrome causes

MEDIAN TRAP: Myxoedema, Edema premenstrually, Diabetes, IdiopathicAgromegaly, Neoplasm, Trauma, Rheumatoid arthritis, Amyloidosis, Pregnancy

Mnemonic fits nicely since median nerve is trapped.

Lumbar plexus I, I Get Laid On Fridays:



Iliohypogastric [L1]Ilioinguinal [L1]Genitofemoral [L1, L2]Lateral femoral cutaneous [L2, L3]Obtruator [L2, L3, L4]Femoral [L2, L3, L4]

Alternatively: I twice Get Laid On Fridays.

Elbow: muscles that flex it

Three Bs Bend the elBow: Brachialis, Biceps, Brachioradialis

Cavernous sinus contents O TOM CAT:

O TOM are lateral wall components, in order from superior to inferior. CA are thecomponents within the sinus, from medial to lateral. CA ends at the level of T from OTOM.

Occulomotor nerve (III), Trochlear nerve (IV), Ophthalmic nerve (V1), Maxillary nerve (V2),Carotid artery, Abducent nerve (VI) T:

When written, connects to the T of OTOM.

Bronchi: which one is more vertical

Inhale a bite, goes down the right: Inhaled objects more likely to lodge in right bronchus,since it is the one that is more vertical

Carotid sheath contents I See 10 CCs in the IV:

Heart valve sequence Try Pulling My Aorta:

TricuspidPulmonaryMitralAorta

Liver: side with ligamentum venosum/ caudate lobe vs. side with quadrate lobe/ ligamentumteres VC goes with VC:

The Venosum and Caudate is on same side as Vena Cava [posterior]. Therefore, quadrateand teres must be on anterior by default.

Note some argument about this: Moore doesnt put in cremasteric nerve, Lumley puts ininguinal

Fibula vs. tibia: which is the bigger one



People talk of telling just a little white lie, or a little fib:Therefore, the fibula is smaller.

Alternatively: TIBia is the Thicker Inner Bone.

Alternatively: Little lat FIB, big fat TIB.

Interossei muscles: actions of dorsal vs. palmar in hand PAd and DAb:

The Palmar Adduct and the Dorsal Abduct. Use your hand to dab with a pad.

Thoracic duct: relation to azygous vein and esophagus The duck between 2 gooses:

Thoracic duct (duck) is between 2 gooses, azygous and esophagus.

Lumbricals action

Lumbrical action is to hold a pea, that is to flex the metacarpophalangeal joint and extendthe interphalangeal joints. When look at hand in this position, can see this makes an Lshape, since L is for Lumbrical.

Pectoral nerves: path of lateral vs. medial Lateral Less, Medial More:

Lateral pectoral nerve only goes through Pectoralis major, but

Medial pectoral nerve goes though both Pectoralis major and minor.

Intrinsic muscles of hand (palmar surface) A OF A OF A:

1. Note two things about the Kreb cycle it contains 2 circles with the inner circle of thenames of the compounds and the outer circle with molecular formulas of compounds.Secondly, all the words in the circle end in ate, nate, rate, or citate.2. Highlight names in inner circle and start with citrate going clockwise.



3. Use the following phrase (this is X rated but its the best way I can memorize). CIndy ISKinky. She SUCks FUcks MALes Often.CI=citrate, IS= ISocitrate, Kinky = @ ketaglutamate (think of Cindys vagina as being stickylike glue- hence the glutamate), She=Succinyl Coa, SUCks=SUCrate (remember, she suckstwice cuz shes kinky), FUks= FUmate (pronounce it asfuc..kamate so it rhymes w/Fucks, and then take out the ck because the letters ck together do not exist in the krebscycle besides, do ya really think they would make a chemical called fuckamate)MALes= MALate, and O= Oxyoliacitrate (O is oxygen from elements)3. look for ways to memorize outer circle.4.Outer Circle: the first 2 are actyl acytyl and acityl sh5.the first 2 quadrants have a repitition of CO2 nad nadh preceded by H2O6.remember adp ->atp cuz d is before p in alphabet.7.Same for gdp->gtp8.fad fadh as in the krebs cycle is the new fad9.nad nadh again with water

Reply15 vanessa on Tuesday, 6 July 2010 said:do you have mnemonics for the regions and quadrants of the abdomen? thanks

Reply16 Jonathan on Tuesday, 6 July 2010 said:Im glad that you like my mnemonics. If only I can find a place that will accept them.Because mine are mnemonics are very dirty, a lot of sites either do not accept mine orthey change it up so much that it doesnt make sense. As far as the regions andquadrants of the abdomen:Note be careful when labeling right and left quadrants..Everything is perceived fromthe patients view since thats who ya gonna be working on if you go into the healthfield.for quadrants, all you have to do is divide abdomen into fourths (quad = four) with yaxis down the belly button. Then its either upper or lower left or right sides.Regions:the inguinal is at the bottom picture engines hanging by nails on your lower right andleft regions. Note: pronounce inguinal like engine nail.as for hypochondrial and lumber think of a person who is a hypochondriac ex. steveurkel from family matters. who is standing on the side on top of a tree limb looking atan engine from down below.. the limb is for lumbar . Now think about the middle of thetree. Gas is flowing over the top above your belly button where your imbilical cord oncewas attached to. I cant think of a mnemonic for the lower middle, so then justmemorize. I hope that helps
