WILTIMS #49: Mnemonics

Only a pair of anatomy tests today, so I don't have anything new to share. I will, however, leave you with a couple mnemonics.

First, for remembering the carpal bones of the hand:
Some Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle
Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, and Hamate

Second, for remembering the order of the anatomic entities that pass under the flexor retinaculum of the ankle:
Tom, Dick And Very Nervous Harry
Tibialis posterior tendon, flexor Digitorum longus tendon, posterior tibial Artery, posterior tibial Vein, tibial Nerve, and flexor Hallucis longus tendon
