ANATOMY MNEMONICS
Mnemonics have not always been my favourite way to remember things, but sometimes you just have to use them.
Pick the mnemonics you use carefully.
Below are some that I have heard, or made up. We will keep adding to this list. If you have some, send them to me by typing them into the contact form at the bottom of the page.
