This rhyme gives you the
first letters of the twelve cranial nerves in order. There are other rhymes
that work, take your pick. You must learn the names, numbers (always use
Roman numerals), and functions. There is no need to learn a rhyme for whether
they are motor or sensory. Knowing their functions will tell you if they are
motor or sensory. And the fact is that, while some are sensory only, all of
the motor nerves have sensory proprioceptive fibers, despite the rhyme and
the table in Marieb. |
