Thank you so much. I feel saved. My goal is to become a nurse. And I’m not giving up. I have two jobs, two kids and taking human anatomy. I don’t have much time to go to open lab but now I’m so happy this can totally help me. Thank you so much again ❤️

[@morgandawn6413]

You're not alone! Good luck!

And how to relate the mnemonic phrase to the nerves that pass through the foramens?
Oh - Olfative (I) - cribform plate
Oh - Optical (II) - optical canal
Oh- Oculomotor (III) - superior orbital fissure
To - Troclear (IV) - superior orbital fisssure
Touch - Trigemial (V) - SOF (oftalmic) , Rotundum (Maxilar) and Ovale (mandibular)
And - Abducant (VI) - SOF
Feel - Facial (VII) - Accoustic foramen and estilomastoideu
A - Accoustic (VIII) - accoustic foramen
Girl's - Glossopharingeal (IX) - jugular
Very - Vague (X) - jugular
Soft - Spinal (XI) - jugular and magnum
Hands - Hipoglossum (XII) - hipoglosssum foramen

[@naseemsulaiman]

Is foramen spinosum or Lacerum more posteriorly placed?

[@kevintpatton]

Great question! The answer is "yes." Meaning that there is variation. I think that in many specimens, they are about even regarding anterior/posterior. But in some cases, the center of f. spinosum is slightly anterior to the center of f. lacerum and in other cases, slightly posterior. However, this particular mnemonic rests on imagining two "rows" of foramina- remembering the first row names, then the second row names. Thus even if the two rows overlap slightly, one could still find and remember the names of these particular foramina using that approach. This mnemonic is meant as an oversimplified memory aid, not a definitive statement of the range of possible locations of foramina in humans. I find that the more I practice with a basic pattern, the more comfortable (and accurate) I am when encountering the wonderful variations we see among individual specimens.

Hello
You are missing the superior orbital fissure and the hypoglossal

[@calvinmcmenamin5035]

Kron also the carotid canal

[@rashadoneal3513]

Hello... he's talking about foramen only not orbital fissure and the hypoglossal.

[@zlensink8998]

Rashad Oneal optic canal is not a foreman tho. The acoustic meatus is also not a foramen. He should have added those. Great video tho

[@mofedadelrahman7070]

Thanks 🌹

[@elfredachambers369]

@@zlensink8998 There is some controversy about whether this should be optic canal or optic foramen it seems.

[@monanaveed4687]

U didn't mentioned Cribiform plate in Anterior cranial fossa

[@kevintpatton]

Mona Naveed that’s intentional because my students never have trouble distinguishing it from other foramina-so no mnemonic needed. The lighter the better! Thanks for your comment.

[@BabeeMilly]

What about the hypoglossal canal?

[@kevintpatton]

I include only the major foramina typically required in an undergraduate A&P course,. How about giving a try adapting this mnemonic sentence to include the foramina you need to learn? Or perhaps constructing a completely new one? Please share it here, if you do.

[@mojo888x]

I am writing a fiction non-fiction sci-fi book, and require some medical expertise to assist with anatomically accurate procedural information, according to the theme of the story: When Axel was 5 years old, he was sold to an underground criminal organisation where an evil doctor forcibly inserted a torture-surveillance-spyware bug into one of his frontal sinuses. 40 years later, Axel has a head injury in a near fatal motorcycle accident, and when observing his skull x-ray, he finds that there is a bug in his head! By this time, the underground criminal system, has infiltrated the global medical industry, and there is no way any governmental or institutional doctor will acknowledge his situation or even try and remove the bug for fear of the criminals. If he doesn't get it out soon, it will most likely fry his mind, brain and eventually kill him!
(this is the part where I need medical advice) How would he remove it? And he must do it alone!

[@NEXGENGOD7]

😂🤣

[@NEXGENGOD7]

Its a bug ... all he needs is a good electric impulse which will fry the bug circuit and you are good to go 👍

Why i m not able to hear your language fluently😢😢

[@kevintpatton]

I'm sorry you are not having a good experience. I'm listening to the video now and can hear it clearly, so I'm guessing you're not referring to the volume or clarity of speech. However, you could be having issues with your internet connection or the volume settings.
You refer to fluency of my language. American English is my first language, and I'm quite skilled in it. The English captions of my narration seem quite fluent.
Can you help me understand exactly what issues you are having with my fluency or with hearing the video?

[@medico9796]

@@kevintpatton sorry sir it's my problem as i m Maharashtrian and my first language is marathi so it's a little bit difficult for me to understand your language🙂.

[@kevintpatton]

@@medico9796 Okay, I understand now. Is there something I can do differently in my videos to make them easier to understand for those whose first language is not English? Slower, perhaps?
