OOOTTAFVGVAH
Amalia has challenged us all with a Readers’ Contest. See, Amalia is studying to be a nurse and is learning more than she ever dreamed possible about human anatomy. Her midterm is coming up and she needs some help. So the challenge: craft an original mnemonic from the first letters of the 12 cranial nerves.
Here are the names of the nerves, in the order in which they must remain:
Olfactory
Optic
Oculomotor
Trochlear
Trigeminal
Abducens
Facial
Vestibulocochlear
Glossopharyngeal
Vagus
Accessory
Hypoglossal
That works out to be OOOTTAFVGVAH. So here’s my shot at a winning mnemonic:
On Other Ontologies That Triumph, Amalia Forgets Very Glabellar Villi Are Heavy.
I’m positive that’s the winning entry, but if you’d like a stab at it be my guest.
