Front 1

What is a Mnemonic to remember the cranial nerves?

Back 1

Old Opie Occasionally Tries Trigonometry And Feels Very Gloomy Vague And Hypoactive

AND
Sensory, Motor, Both
Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter More

Front 2

List ALL 12 cranial merves

Back 2

Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducens, Facial, Vestibulocochlear, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Accessory, Hypoglossal

Front 3

Another helpful study trick:

Back 3

You have one nose (olfactory)
You have 2 eyes (optic)
3,4,6 makes your eyes do tricks (ocular motor, trochlear, abducens)
5 rhymes with tri (trigemenal)
the #7 can be drawn on your face (facial)
you can make an eight in your ear (acoustic)
9 and 10 both have a "g" (glossopharengeal, vagus)
11 makes your shoulders go to heaven (spinal accessory)
12 hypoglossal
