: The properties of bile
Bile from the liver emulsifies greases, Tinges the urine and colours the faeces Aids peristalsis, prevents putrefaction If you remember all this youll give satisfaction. : The functions of the blood Old Charlie Foster hates women having dull clothes. Oxygen (transport)/Carbon dioxide (transport)/Food/Heat/Waste/Hormones/Disease/Clotting : The bones of the upper limb Some criminals have underestimated Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Scapula/Clavicle/Humerus/Ulna/Radius/Carpels/Metacarpals/Phalanges : The construction of the brachial plexus nerves in the neck/shoulder region Robert Taylor drinks cold beer. Roots, trunks, divisions, cords, branches : The principles of capillary action Water rises to the tops of plants by capillary action (CA), which depends upon cohesive and adhesive (C + A) properties of water. : The (alpha, omega) dicarboxylic acids from C2-C10 Oh my, such good apple pie, sweet as sugar Oxalic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, adipic, pimelic, suberic, azelaic, sebacic : The phases of cell division Post master - a toad! Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase : The order of items in an AC circuit The voltage (V) across a capacitor lags the current (I) by 90 degrees. The voltage across the inductor (L) leads the current by 90 degrees. This is given by the word CIVIL, when split into CIV and VIL. : The most common elements of the planets crust, in descending order Only silly asses in college study past midnight.
: The different categories of radiation, in order of increasing wavelength Cary grant expects unanimous votes in movie reviews tonight. Cosmic, gamma, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave, radio, television. : Whether current leads voltage or lags it in reactive circuits Think of Eli the Ice man. In inductive (L) circuits, voltage (E) leads current (I), hence ELI. In capacitive (C) circuits, it is the other way, so ICE. : The four elements that make lifes building blocks HONC if you like life. Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon. : The excretory organs of the body SKILL Skin/kidneys/instetines/liver/lungs : The branches of the facial nerve To Zanzibar by motor car Temporal nerve, zygomatic nerve, buccal nerve, marginal mandibular nerve, cervical nerve : The principles of heat transfer Conduction - Imagine a line of passengers on a bus being asked to move down by the conductor, each passenger causing the next to bustle along (analogy for the movement/vibration of atoms that is passed along, causing heat to be transferred). Convection - Consider vector, a disease-carrying insect, e.g. a mosquito, which travels in swarms (very much like the movement of convection currents). Radiation - Heat radiation is a form of radiation - (Think of nuclear fallout or the Suns radiation) and thus travels in waves undetected until they fall upon another body. : The parts of an insects leg Cockroaches travel fast towards their children. Coxa/trochanter/femur/tibia/tarsus/claw : The role of insulin Remember that insulin gets sugar into cells. Without insulin, a person can have excess of sugar in his blood yet die of lack of sugar. : Lichens are made up of algae and fungi She was all gal (algal) and he was a fun guy (fungi). They took a likin (lichen) to each other. : The definition of mechanical advantage Men always like eating. MA - load over effort (1/e) : The order of hardness (Mohs scale of hardness) Tall gyroscopes can fly apart, orbiting quickly to complete disintegration or, Those girls can fly and other queer things can do. Talc, gypsum or rock salt, calcite, fluorite, apatite, orthaclase, quartz, topaz, corundum, diamond. : The molecular shape of fructose and glucose There are two simple sugars (monosaccharides) - fructose and glucose - which combine in a specific way to form sucrose. Remember the molecular shape of fructose has five carbons (letter f starts both words) and hexagon is the shape of glucose (letter g in both words). : The noble gases He neatly arranges kremlin executive ranks. Helium/neon/argon/krypton/xenon/radon : Nucleotides of DNA In DNA there are four nucleotides (cytosine, thymine, adenine, guanine) divided into two classes (pyrimidines and purines). The easiest way to remember which class they belong to is that the pyrimidines contain the
letter y (cytosine and thymine).
: The classification of feeding methods (mode of nutrition) All county players have hundreds of shots perfected. Autotrophic (chemosynthetic, photosynthetic)/heterotrophic (holozoic, saprophytic, parasitic) : The order of ohmic values in resistors Billy brown relies on your gin but prefers good whiskey. Black/brown/red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple/grey/white. : Ohms law Vampires are rare. Volts = ampere resistance : The additive and subtractive mixtures of colours in optics Better get ready while, your mistress comes back. Blue + green + red = white (additive) Yellow + magenta + cyan = black (subtractive) : The order of atomic orbitals Spin pairs dont form - go higher. The Pauli selection rule states that two electrons of like spin may not be present in any orbital if they have the same set of quantum numbers. Since the electronic orbitals in atoms are listed by the letters s, p, d, f, g, h in order of ascending energy, this mnemonic acts as a useful remainder. : The prefixes for naming carbon chains Met ethel properly but my page had holes. Meth, eth, prop, but, pent, hex, hept (methane can also be remembered by Me - one person). : The elements in their correct order in the first three periods of the table (Hydrogen being omitted and potassium included). Here lies Benjamin bold cry not old friend needlessly. Nature magnifies all simple people sometimes, clots and kings. Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, sulphur, chlorine, argon, potassium (H, He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Al, K) : The third period elements Nagging maggie always sips claret. Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar : The bones of the skull Old people from Texas eat spiders. Occipital, parietal, frontal, temporal, ephnoid, sphenoid. : The spectral classification sequence (star classes on a stellar evolution diagram) Oven baked ants, fried gently, keep moist, retain natutal succulence or Oh boy, A F grade kills me. or Only bored astronomers find gratification knowing mnemonics. The sequence is O, B, A, F, G, K, M (R, N, S) ranging from hot, early type stars (O) to cool, late type stars (M) (the classes R, N and S are generally no longer used, but appear in most of the mneumonics). : The direction in which the current flows in a thermocouple made from antimony and bismuth metals abc The current flows from the antimony to the bismuth through the cold junction. : The first row of transition metals in the periodic table Scandinavian TV corrupts many French coalmens nieces and cousins.
