LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

This page is courtesy of HowStuffWorks.com: The site has several videos that show the structure and function of the lymphatic system:

Here is a link to a site that has a variety of slides that depict the spleen, tonsil, and lymphatic tissue:

Following is a page that has several Medical Mnemonics for the lymphatic system.

MNEMONICS FOR ARTERIES

Here are a few mnemonics that were specific to the arteries and veins:

Aortic arch: major branch order
"Know your ABC'S":
Aortic arch gives rise to:
Brachiocephalic trunk
left Common Carotid
left Subclavian
_ Beware though trick question of 'What is first branch of aorta?' Technically, it's the coronary arteries.

"BAMBI":
Brachial Artery is Medial to Biceps In elbow.

Coelic trunk: branches
Left Hand Side (LHS):
Left gastric artery
Hepatic artery
Splenic artery

Descending abdominal aorta branches from diaphragm to iliacs
"Prostitutes Cause Sagging Swollen Red Testicles [in men] Living In Sin":
Phrenic [inferior]
Celiac
Superior mesenteric
Suprarenal [middle]
Renal
Testicular ["in men" only]
Lumbars
Inferior mesenteric
Sacral

CRANIAL NERVES

Here is a great site for cranial nerves, compliments of Yale University. It appears to be pretty concise.

I thought this mnemonic was a great way to memorize the cranial nerves. Compliments of Jane Jane from Medical Terminology Avenue.

Oh, Oh, Oh, To Touch And Feel A Great Victory is Such Happiness

Oh = CN I Olfactory

Oh= CN II Optic

Oh = CN III Oculomotor

To= CN IV Trochlear

Touch = CN V Trigeminal

And = CN VI Abducens

Feel = CN VII Facial

A = CN VIII Auditory (vestibulochochlear)

Great = CN IX Glossopharyngeal

Victory = CN X Vagus

Such = CN XI Spinal Accessory

Happiness = CN XII Hypoglossal

check out this one... http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/cn/cranial.htm

This is a great interactive site with great diagrams and explanations of the nerve function coupled with the location. http://www.meddean.luc.edu/Lumen/MedEd/GrossAnatomy/h_n/cn/cn1/mainframe.htm

Wondering how to remember which nerves are sensory, motor or mixed? Here is a great mnemonic that can help:

Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter More

S = sensory

M = motor

B = both

start with CN I and work your way down...
