There’s a rude rhyme for the path of the lingual nerve: The Lingual nerve Took a swerve Around the Hyoglossus. “Well I’ll be f\*#ked!” Said Wharton’s Duct, “The bastard’s double crossed us!” ---

We nursing students learned a vulgar one for the cranial nerves. Oh, Oh, Oh, To Touch And Feel A Girl’s Vagina, How Heavenly. It beats Olympus’ towering tops! ---

_How I need a drink, alcoholic in nature, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics._ Probably the only mnemonic that’s harder to remember than what it stands for. ---

Half of anatomy was learned through mnemonics, either widely circulated or made up. My favorite is the branches of the subclavian artery in the arm.
