Using Mnemonics and Stories

Mnemonics (memory tricks) and creative stories can help you remember the names and functions of body parts, systems, and cells. The sillier the story, the easier it is to recall!

Examples

  • Remembering 'My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles' for the digestive system organs.

  • Using the phrase 'Silly Monkeys Eat Bananas' to recall the order of skin layers: Stratum, Malpighian, Epidermis, Basal.
