more detailed mnemonic including: Phrenic and Vagus Nerve Lymph Nodes Oblique fissure of lungs (top of it) Thymus Esophagus (trending right to left) Aortic Arch (bottom of the arch) Rib 2, Manubrium-sternal angle, T4(more specifically T4-5 disc) Tracheal Bifurcation (Carina: Latin –like keel of boat) Heart Pulmonary trunk bifurcation L2 : Left Recurrent Laryngeal (Looping under Aorta); Ligamentum Arteriosum: Connects Aortic Arch to Pulmonary. Bifurcation Azygous vein arches over the root of the Rt. Lung and opens in SVC. Nerve plexi: Cardiac and Pulmonary Plexus Thoracic duct (on its way to drain into the Left Subclavian) SVC going down Neuroanatomy Afferent vs efferent Afferent connection arrives and an efferent connection exits. Brachial plexus Remember To Drink Cold Beer - Roots, Trunks, Divisions, Cords, Branches 5 main nerves of brachial plexus. "My Aunty Rocks My Uncle" - Musculocutaneous, Axillary, Radial, Median, Ulnar. (in order laterally to medially) "My Uncle Rapes My Aunt" - Musculocutaneous (L), Ulnar (M), Radial (P), Median (LM), Axillary (P). (L: lateral cord, M: medial cord, P: posterior cord. LM: both lateral and medial cords. Memorize "LMP LMP".) Lateral cord branches LLM "Lucy Loves Me" - Lateral pectoral, Lateral root of the median nerve, Musculocutaneous. Love Me Lucy (LML) - Lateral pectoral nerve, Musculocutaneous nerve, Lateral root of Median nerve. Look My Lancer - Lateral pectoral nerve, Musculocutaneous nerve, Lateral root of Median nerve. Medial cord branches MMMUM "Most Medical Men Use Morphine" - Medial pectoral, Medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Medial cutaneous nerve of forearm, Ulnar, Medial root of the Median nerve. "Money Makes Many Men Unhappy" - Medial pectoral nerve, Medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Medial cutaneous nerve of forearm, Medial root of median nerve, Ulnar nerve. "M4U" - Medial pectoral nerve, Medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Medial cutaneous nerve of forearm, Medial root of median nerve, Ulnar nerve. Union of 4 Medials - Ulnar nerve, Medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Medial cutaneous nerve of forearm, Medial pectoral nerve, Medial root of Median nerve. Posterior cord branches STAR - Subscapular (upper and lower), Thoracodorsal, Axillary, Radial. RATS- Radial nerve, Axillary nerve, Thoracodorsal nerve, Subscapular (Upper & Lower) nerve. ULTRA - Upper subscapular, Lower subscapular, Thoracodorsal, Radial, Axillary. ULNAR- Upper subscapular nerve, Lower subscapular nerve, Nerve to latissimus dorsi, Axillary nerve, Radial nerve. Cerebellum Deep cerebellar nuclei and their positions relative to the midline: "Fat Guys Eat Donuts," where each letter indicates the medial to lateral location
