Doctors, nurses, students and staff on UT Southwestern's Neurocritical Care Team got their groove on for an original song about the cranial nerves and their functions. This is Aljean Santos' capstone project at Texas Woman's University.
Thank you so much!!! I am a 56 year old medical school student and I need all the help I can get remembering these things...music videos help so much!!!!
Cranial nerve 1 gave me a whiff What’s that? Is that C-Diff? Sensory nerve guides my sniffs Olfactory is the way Second nerve helps me see right Central and peripheral sight Sensory nerve for my eyes Optic nerve is the way Pupils constricting 3rd nerve, eyes are moving Prevents eyelid drooping Oculomotor nerve baby The trochlear nerve Works the superior Oblique This is the 4th nerve Hard to look down if its weak Trigeminal nerve Works mastication Its sensory and motor Deals with face sensation Abducens is 6th Does eye abductions Motor nerve for motion Helps prevent double vision Facial is the 7th Does facial expression Its sensory and motor Two thirds of taste sensation Vestibulocochlear 8th nerve, body balancer Used for the ear, sound sensor Its sensory and hey Glossopharyngeal nerve Senses taste from the one third Back of the tongue, the 9th nerve It helps to swallow, hey 10th nerve is vagus Let’s us speak and say stuff Custard only, if dysphagia Its sensory and motor baby Accessory nerve Is the 11th So, shrug your shoulders And test head resistance The hypoglossal nerve Is the 12th nerve Deals with tongue movement Mnemonic let’s get to it On Old Olympus Towing Top A Fin and German A fin and German, Viewed Some Hops Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter More
I am studying for my boards for my NP- and I LOVE this song! I always forget the order in which the nerves go! and if they are Sensory, Motor or both! Drives me CRAZY this song helps :) Thanks for typing the lyrics out!
so NOT joking, i've recently started an online course for medical neuroscience and i'm having trouble with the C.N topic, so far it's been the hardest topic for me to face; anyway, i'm trying to find out how the f*** i'm gonna find a way to work them 12 nerves out and memorize, not to mention LEARN their functions. and then i came across this awosme video, and guys, you've helped me so much i can't thank you enough. important thing to clarigy - english is my 2nd language so its hard for me as it is. second thing is that i'm looking into local (ISRAEL) educational programmes for the study of the brain, and this is me preparing myself and indulging my curiousity - so i dont actually get a formal education of the neuroscience stuff, im studying the science by myself and through online resources galore. so this short but perfect video clip here is such a great resource for me, i cant tell you just how much. so, for the last time now lol you rock, thanks, and the production was freaking epic! im laughing out l;oud each and every time
Lol bummer for them, it's not cheating, so... ;) also, did they ask you to stop it, or just grunted and used CN XI to express their disapproval of it? ;)
Taking my Praxis Exam tomorrow and watching this a few more times to prepare-this song has helped me through post-bac and grad school each semester. Thank you!
A friend in my ADN program shared this fun video with us for our assessment exam. I am just now listening and loving it! Can't wait to play it in the car, memorize every word, and hopefully pass my exam with this fun song!!
This video is amazing! I was listening to this song as I was reviewing my cranial nerve structures and this worked out so well for my lab practical! Thanks a bunch!
I love you guys for making this video. It really helped me on my physiology and anatomy exam. I still watch it even after the exam because I will probably need it for next semester as well in A&P
I absolutely love this cranial nerve song. I have listened to this way to many times this week. While taking my test -virtually I was being recorded, I'm sure someone laughed at my dance moves and me moving my hands. GREAT JOB TEAM!
I'm from Texas but I'm going to school in another state. I was so happy to find this video! It's helping me learn the CNs for my A&P of Speech class! Ya'll are awesome for making this
5 years later, still one of the best (probably THW best) neuroscience fun-educational treats on RU-vid 🥰🥰🥰🫶🏻 This is so good, I still remembered at least half of it correctly(ish hah) 🎉🎉🎉 Just looked it up to show my fiancé and brag about my rough knowledge on the subject lol
First one tells you the names. Second one tells you the functions. Both are in order from cranial nerve I down to XII On (Olfactory) Old (Optic) Olympus' (Ocularmotor) Towering (Trochlear) Top (Trigeminal) A (Abducens) Finn (Facial) And (Auditory/Vestibulocochlear) German (Glossopharyngeal) Viewed (Vagus) Some (Spinal Accessory) Hops (Hypoglossal) Some (sensory) Say (sensory) Marry (motor) Money (motor) But (both) My (motor) Brother (Both) Says (sensory) Big (both) Brains (both) Matter (motor) More (motor)
Thanks UTSW! I had been using a very old cranial nerve song to the Tune of Glycerine by Bush for many years but my students now do not know that song so this is much more up to date. Great job -
This helped me on my lab final with two questions, and around nine questions on my lecture final. THANK YOU! But it's been stuck in my head for three weeks...help.
This is amazing! Our teacher showed us this video in neuroanatomy class. Even though i can't memorize them all, it's still really insteresting! Thanks for making this video👍👍👍
