🚨 Anatomy Study Hack Alert! 🚨 Save this for later Let’s make cranial nerves easier for you! Here’s a breakdown of all 12 nerves and some tricks to help you remember them without frying your brain: 1️⃣ Olfactory (I): Smell! Think "O" for odor—smelling always comes first. 2️⃣ Optic (II): Vision! "Optic" = optical, all about sight. 3️⃣ Oculomotor (III): Eye movement & pupil control. "Oculo" = eye, "motor" = movement. 4️⃣ Trochlear (IV): Eye moves down/in. "Track" it like it’s following a path. 5️⃣ Trigeminal (V): Facial sensation + chewing. "Tri" = 3 branches (forehead, cheeks, jaw). 6️⃣ Abducens (VI): Eyes move outward. Think "abduct" like the vocal folds! 7️⃣ Facial (VII): Smiles, tears, saliva, & taste (front 2/3 of tongue). Makes you smile, literally! 8️⃣ Vestibulocochlear (VIII): Balance & hearing. "Vestibulo" = balance, "cochlear" = hear. 9️⃣ Glossopharyngeal (IX): Taste (back 1/3 of tongue) & swallowing. "Glosso" = tongue, "pharyngeal" = throat. 🔟 Vagus (X): Heart, digestion, breathing—it’s the Vegas nerve, always running the show! 1️⃣1️⃣ Accessory (XI): Shoulder shrugs & head turns. Like an accessory, it gives extra movement. 1️⃣2️⃣ Hypoglossal (XII): Tongue motor for speaking/swallowing. "Hypo" = below, "glossal" = tongue. If this resonates with where you're at on your Praxis study journey, there's plenty more where that came from!
