? BRACHIAL PLEXUS: Roots, Trunks, Divisions, Cords, Branches
? Randy Travis Drinks Cold Beers.
? Robert Taylor Drinks Cold Beer.
? CRANIAL NERVES: I-optic, II-olfactory, III-oculomotor, IV-trochlear, V-trigeminal, VI-abducens, VII-facial, VIII-acoustic (vestibulocochlear), IX-glossophrayngeal, X-vagus, XI-spinal accessory, XII-hypoglossal
? On Old Olympus Towering Tops, A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops
? You have I nose. You have II eyes. (I - Olfactory; II -- Optic)
? Innervation of Extraocularmotor Muscles:
? LR6 (SO4) 3
? LR6--Lateral rectus--> VI abductens
? SO4--Superior Oblique--> IV Trochlear
? 3--The remaining 4 eyeball movers = III
? Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Bras Matter More (what cranial nerve is Motor, Sensory, or Both)
? BRANCHES OF FACIAL NERVE: Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Masseteric, Cervical
? Ten Zebras Bought My Car
? To Zanzibar By Motor Car
? CERVICAL SPINAL NERVES:
? c345 keeps the phrenic alive (innervation of phrenic nerve)
? c345 keep the diaphragm alive (innervation of diaphragm)
? c5-6-7 raise your arms to heaven (nerve roots of long thoracic nerve innervate serratus anterior)
? LOCATION OF THORACIC DUCT:
? The duck is between two gooses (duck = thoracic duct)
? 2 gooses = azyGOUS and esophaGOUS
? ATTACHMENTS OF CHEST MUSCLES:
? A lady between two majors.
? Pectoralis major attaches to lateral lip of bicipital groove.
? Teres major attaches to medial lip of bicipital groove.
? Latissimus dorsi attaches to the floor of bicipital groove.
? The "lati" is between two "majors."
? INNERVATION OF PENIS:
? Parasympathetic puts it up; sympathetic spurts it out
? "S2, 3, 4 keep the penis off the floor"
? Innervation of the penis by branches of the pudental nerve, derived from spinal cord levels S2-4
? "Lateral is less, medial is more."
? Lateral pectoral nerves goes through pectoralis major while medial p.n. goes though both pec major and minor
? AORTIC BRANCHES:
? ABC'S
? Aortic arch gives off the Bracheiocephalic trunk, the left Common Carotid, and the left Subclavian artery
? ORDER OF THINGS IN THIGH:
? "NAVEL"
? nerve, artery, vein, empty space, lymphatics
