Does anybody have easy way to remember the muscles innervated by certain nerves such as median, ulnar, and radial nerve?

  #53

is there any simple way to memorise pterygopalatine fossa and its openings.. shaking head

1...I AM doing A Facial (Internal Auditory Meatus transmitts Acoustic/Vestibulocochlear & Facial nerves

2....John F. kennedy Gave Voice to America ( Jugular Foramen transmitts Glossopharyngeal, Vagus & Accessory nerves)

3...ROTOMAX...foramen ROTundum transmitts MAXillary



  #55

Superior Orbital Fissure transmitts all the cranial nerves responsible for the Motor supply to Extra occular muscles ......

1..Occulomotor..all the muscles..but specially Medial Rectus..Adduction
2..Trochlear....Superior Oblique..depression(opposite to its name)
and abduction
3..Abducens....Lateral ractus..abduction...cool

  #56

nice ones,, thanku lungi.

IAM PUBIC TUBERLE , LOVES ARTERY
MEANING;'-INDIRECT INGUINAL HERNIA IS ABOVE AND MEDIAL TO PUBIC TUBERCLE AND LATERAL TO INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC ARTERY.

  #58

nod I'd love this.

  #59

SINRAD...

S=Superiors...IN=intorters,
R=Recti...AD=Adductors,

Thus,
Superior oblique intorts, inferior oblique extorts,
Superior recti intorts, inferior recti extorts,

Superior recti and inferior recti are adductors,
superior oblique and inferior oblique are abductors.

  #60

Nice work here..thanks for all the pneumonics...especially the motor, sensory and both types of cranial nerves!!

wot about this.
Girls want to stay SLIM for that they should LISTEN their health trainer.

SLIM = LISTEN(auditory pathway)

Superior olivary nu
Lateral leminiscus
Inferior colliculus

but you didn't mention the tendon of biceps brachii muscle as a content of the cubital fossa.
and I think that the (Mc) must mean (Median Cutanous VEIN of forearm which connects beween cephalic and basalic veins.
that's what I have studied in Gray's anatomy book.

alternative to NAVEL helps better with telling you its lateral to medial - NAVY

Thanks lungi, drkaur, starbright and the rest of u guys. keep up the good work nod

This is a visual mnemonic. Look at the attached file.

I tried to attach the file, but it did't work, so you can see it here.

Per the BRS Mnemonic
RoN - Radial Nerve
BeaTs - Biceps brachii tendon
BAd - Brachial Artery
MeN - Median Nerve

Skin Ectoderm ... will nounce it ECTADERM

E-Epidermis ( + Hair & Nails)/ Epithelial lining of lower anal canal
C-Cochlear duct & semi-Circular ducts
T-paroTid gland
AD-ADenohypophysis
E-Enamel of teeth / lens of the Eye
RM-MaMMaRy glands (a gland with R & M in its name)

and note that the word ECTADERM has 2 Es so we attached 2 derivatives for each E

Neuroectoderm gives rise to:
Neurons
Neuroglia( Astrocytes & oligodendrocytes only as microglia is a mesoderm and schwann cells r from the neural crest )
Neurohypophysis
piNeurol (pineal) gland

+ R of the nueRo- is for Retina

MESODERM:
Mesothelium (peritoneal, pleural, pericardial)/ Muscle (striated, smooth, cardiac) i.e. the heart is completed, so the Heart too comes from Mesoderm
Embryologic Spleen/ Soft tissue/ Serous linings/ Sarcoma/ Somite
Osseous tissue/ Outer layer of suprarenal gland (cortex)/ Ovaries
Dura/ Ducts of genitalia
Endothelium
Renal
Microglia/ Mesenchyme/ Male gonad

NEURALCREST:
PC GAMES:
Parafollicular (C) cells/ Pigment Cells ( = Melanocytes )/ Pharyngeal arch Cartilage
Ganglia ( Autonomic & Sensory )
Arachnoid (and pia) / Aorticopulmonary septum
Medulla of the Adrenal/ Also Melnaocytes ( as u like grin use this or the above grin )
Endocardial Cushions
Schwann cells

Vasculogenesis vs. angiogenesis
"Vascu is new. Angi is pre": Vasculogenesis is new vessels developing in situ from existing mesenchyme. Angiogenesis is vessels develop from sprouting off pre-existing arteries.

Weeks 2, 3, 4 of development: an event for each
Week Two: Bilaminar germ disc.
Week Three: Trilaminar germ disc.
Week Four: Four limbs appear.

Teratogenesis: when it occurs
TEratogenesis is most likely during organogenesis--between the: Third and Eighth weeks of gestation.

Lung development phases "Every Premature Child Takes Air":
Embryonic period
Pseudoglandular period
Canalicular peroid
Terminal sac period
Alveolar period

Branchial arch giving rise to aorta
"Aor- from Four": Aorta is from fourth arch.

Woffian duct (mesonephric duct) derivatives.
Gardener's SEED:
· Female: Gartner's duct, cyst
· Male:
Seminal vesicles
Epididymis
Ejaculatory duct
Ductus deferens

Foregut derivatives
"Little Embryo People Do Like Swallowing, Producing Gas": Lungs Esophagus Pancreas Duodenum (proximal) Liver Stomach Pancreas Gall bladder

Does anyone has a Mnemonic for pharyngeal pouches and phryngeal arches derivatives ???


___________________
Experience is what u get when u don't get what u want to get

  #73

The phrayngeal Pouches i created a formula for them ...

1A, 2P, 3 TIP, 4 SPUB

It might seem even more difficult but let me explain ...

1A .. 1 for the 1st letter of Alphabet which is A stands for Auditory ... So, 1st Pouch gives the epithelial lining of Auditory tube and middle ear cavity

2P ... 2 for the 2nd letter of the Alphabet which is the P ... for Palatine ... So, 2nd pouch gives the epithelial lining of cryPts of Palatine tonsil

3 TIP ... 3 then 3 letters TIP & start with T of Three ... these letters are the abbreviations given in kaplan for those derivatives and stands for Thymus and Inferior Parathyroid gland

4 SPUB ... 4 then 4 letters SPUB ... Also the abbreviations given in the notes for Superior Parathyroid gland and Ultimobranchial Body

The Arches ...

The Nerves ...

March 1975 i.e. 1975 = X, IX, VII, V and March to remember it is V3 ....

Arrange them .... Arch 1 gives V3, 2 gives VII, 3 gives IX and both 4 & 6 will have X

The Arteries ...

1st - part of MAXillary a. -------------- 1st arch is MAXimal

2nd- Stapedial a. & Hyoid a. ------- Second for Stapedial

3rd- Common Carotids and parts of internal Carotids ---- C is the 3rd letter of Alphabet

4th- on the lt. --> AORtic Arch and on the Rt.--> Rt. Subclavian ----

4th arch (4 limbs) = Systmeic & Also remember that AOR is from FOUR

6th- Pulmonary arteries and Ductus arteriosus ---- 6th arch= Pulmonary and Pulmonary - Systemic Shunt ( Ductus )

Muscles (Mesoderm) & Skeletal (Neural Crest) Derivatives ...

1st arch ...

Muscles => V3 innervates M.D. My T.V. i.e.

Muscles of mastication ( masseter, temporalis, pterygoid)

Digastric ( Anterior Belly)

Mylohyoid

tensor Tympani

tensor Veli

Skeletal => I'M getting Skeletal like Silvester

Skeletal remind u of skeletal derivatives then

I for the 1 i.e. 1st arch and for Incus

M for Malleus/Maxilla/Mandible

2nd Arch ....

To remember the Muscles innervated by the CN VII ...

Imagine someone making the Facial Expression to say " PSS ... "

Facial Expression muscles

Posterior Belly of digastric

Stapedius ----> and it reminds u of the other skeletal derivative Stapes

Stylohyoid -----> and it reminds u of the the Hyoid ... but not all the Hyoid, we still in the 2nd level so choose the lesser that is above i.e. the Lesser Horn of the upper body of the Hyoid.( and when u get to the 3rd arch do the opposite )

Hope that Helps, little complicated but better than nothing gringringrin:

one of my professors gave me this one.
i tot its rly cool.
PAD for the sequence of meninges in cranial cavity.

from inside outside cos the brain is protected that way
P- pia mater
A-arachnoid mater
D-dura mater

my first post. shoot me down if u want to.

  #75

i made 1 up for nerve supplies of pharyngeal arches.

Mellisa fucks, girls suck rarely.
sorry its rated.

M-mandibular nerve
F-facial nerve
G-glossopharyngeal nerve
S-superior laryngeal nerve
R-recurrent laryngeal nerve
