THE TWELVE PAIRS OF CRANIAL NERVES.

The following list is worked out for practice much more fully than a medical student would do if he were learning the list in his studies. The medical student would doubtless first objectively identify these nerves in dissection, and then use correlations to help him remember those which his natural memory could not carry. If not a medical student, my pupil may omit this and the previous examples from Quain’s Anatomy.

  3. Explain the relation between “Belladonna” and “deadly nightshade.”
  4. What advice is here given the medical student?
  5. Are you required to learn the twelve pairs of cranial nerves if you are not a medical student?
  6. What do the words printed in italics indicate in this exercise?
