Studying Anatomy
Initialing has been used by medical students with splendid results and has reduced the labor of learning to a minimum. The branches of the external carrotid arteries can be remembered by the following sentence:
| Some | Try | Large | Feats, | Others | Prefer |
| Superior | Thyroid, | Lingual, | Facial, | Occipital, | Pharyngeal, |
| A | Simple | Task | In | Memory. | |
| Auricular, | Superficial, | Temporal, | Internal | Maxillary. |
For practice make a sentence of your own from the initials of the twelve pair of Cranial Nerves, which are Olefactory, Optic, Motor Oculi, Pathetic, Trifacial, Abducent, Facial, Auditory, Glosso-Pharyngeal, Pneumogastric, Spinal Accessory, Hypoglossal. For example, Oh! Out Motoring Papa Took A Friend and Got Paul Some Heather. Others can be made, but the one which the child makes for himself he will remember easiest.
