  • sciatic nerve
  • nerve to obturator internus
  • internal pudendal vessel
  • pudendal nerve
  • nerve to quadratus femoris
  • inferior gluteal vessels
  • posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh

  • pudendal nerve
  • internal pudendal vessels
  • nerve to obturator internus
  • tendon of obturator internus

Tarsal tunnel

a mnemonic to remember the contents of the Tarsal tunnel from anterior to posterior is "Tom, Dick and Harry".[3][4][5] or alternatively "Tom, Dick (and very nervous) Harry" if the artery, vein, and nerve are included.

Contents of the foramen magnum: VAMPS-ATM OR VAMPires Sing AT Midnight

  • Vertebral arteries
  • Anterior Spinal artery

  • Spinal part of the accessory nerve
  • Alar and Apical ligaments of the dens
  • Tectorial membrane
  • Medulla oblongata[citation needed]

Cerebellum

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

Pes anserinus

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]

Another anterior to posterior is “Say Grace before Tea” Sartorius, Gracilis, semiTendinosus.

Femoral triangle

The femoral triangle is shaped like the sail of a sailing ship and hence its boundaries can be remembered using the mnemonic, "SAIL":

  • Sartorius
  • Adductor longus
  • Inguinal Ligament.[8]

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":

  • 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]

Popliteal fossa

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.[9]

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,"[10] and for the initial letters "OOOTTAFVGVAH" is "Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel very good velvet ... ah, heaven."[11] 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.[12]
  • For the five branches of the facial nerve there are: Two Zebras Bit My Cookie or To Zanzibar By MotorCar
List of mnemonics for the cranial nerves, their respective type and foramen

Diaphragm apertures: spinal levels

Many mnemonics are used for diaphragm apertures including:

Number of letters

  • Aortic hiatus = 12 letters = T12
  • Oesophagus = 10 letters = T10
  • Vena cava = 8 letters = T8[1]p. 1

I ate 10 eggs at 12

  • I = IVC
  • ate = T8
  • 10 = T10
  • Eggs = Esophagus
  • At = Aorta
  • 12 = T12

(V)oice (O)f (A)merica

  • V- vena cava -T8
  • O-oesophagus-T10
  • A-aorta-T12

Duodenum: lengths of parts

  • W – maintaining WATER balance
  • E – ELECTROLYTE balance
  • T – TOXIN removal
  • B – BLOOD Pressure control
  • E – making ERYTHROPOIETIN
  • D – Vitamin D metabolism

Lateral geniculate nucleus

A simple mnemonic for remembering this[clarify] 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[clarify] is 2+3=5, which is correct, so ipsilateral side, and 1+4 doesn't equal 6, so contralateral.

  • Wastes
  • Antibodies
