Cranial Nerves:

  1. Make sure to have the names of all Cranial Nerves in your Notebook.

  2. You will need to know the names of the cranial nerves, in order!  To help you remember, use a mnemonic.  Here are two examples: 1.) On Old Olympus’ Towering Top, A Friendly Viking Grew Vines And Hops.  2.) Odor Of Orangutan Terrified Tarzan After Forty Voracious Gorillas Viciously Attacked Him. (Use the first letter of each word as a memory key to help you remember the CN)

  3. Make up your own mnemonic for the names of the Cranial Nerves.
