Skull Bones Mnemonic (Cranial and Facial Bones) | Anatomy and Physiology

Показать описание
The human skull bones can be tricky to learn at first in your anatomy and physiology class, but these mnemonics will help you learn the 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones, for a total of 22 skull bones. I also cover associated bones in the skull, such as the hyoid bone and the auditory ossicles (ear bones).

Here's a neat trick about the skull bones: the 8 cranial bones are all single, except for two pairs of bones (parietal and temporal). The 14 facial bones are all pairs of bones, except for two single ones (vomer and mandible).

Here are the eight cranial bones, with a mnemonic (memory trick) to help you remember them:

-Ethmoid bone (1)
-Frontal bone (1)
-Sphenoid bone (1)
-Parietal bones (2)
-Temporal bones (2)
Occipital bone (1)

To remember them, remember this phrase (make it into a cranial bones song if you want): Ethan's Fried Spanish Pasta Tempted Octavia.

The fourteen facial bones may seem even more daunting, but these mostly come in pairs, so there aren't as many as it seems.

-Mandible (1)
-Vomer (1)
-Maxilla (2)
-Lacrimal bones (2)
-Nasal bones (2)
-Inferior Nasal Concha (2)
-Palatine bones (2)
-Zygomatic bones (2)

Here's a mnemonic sentence (or song) to help you remember the 14 facial bones: My Mouth's Palate Never Likes Zucchini In Vinegar.

Thank you so much, thanks to covid my teacher just releases a bunch of powerpoints with the bones labeled while expecting us to learn every single bone in the body and every individual labeled piece on the by our selves. This has helped me understand the skull way more clearly.

The first anatomy video that satisfied me was from this teacher, after years I still remember the way you associated each bone with meaning full words. I appreciate this video too, it helped me a lot.

Thanks so much. It's an uphill experience at 73 years old but I am studying to become a Certified Personal Trainer. I plan to take my exam in Dec 2022. I am a Certified Tai Chi Instructor which wasn't a walk in the park. After 2 failed exams I finally realized Anatomy will be an important foundation. You're a fun an effective Instructor.

I am a massage therapy student and my goal is to really hone in on my anatomy knowledge and understanding. Thank you for a very insightful, "real" and practical way to learn and retain this new understanding. Love your channel.😊

Absolutely fantastic channel! Breaking down each bone and identifying each separate bone is understood in a natural way with the guidance of these videos. At first, the skeletal system looks too overwhelming to be able to identify, but even an ant can digest an elephantine proportion, bite by bite! Because of this channel's help, I was able to pass my first 140-hour examination for becoming a Massage Therapist! I have up to 700 hours to go, and I'll be supported by these videos for sure, I know I can handle it now! This channel is too awesome, Thank You for all the videos RegisteredNurseRN!

WOW this helped! I went from being completely overwhelmed to watching this video, pulling up an interactive labeling diagram online and getting it all correct on the first try.
