**Do you use any mnemonic techniques? What are they?  
How well do you think you know about your body parts?**

I used the mnemonic “Portia’s toes, long and scaly, have corns, terrible and tremendous” in med school to remember the carpal bones in Gross Anatomy class.

Lessee…pisiform, triquetrum, lunate, scaphoid…yep, still works.

(Portia was a spaniel we used to have).
