How to Remember the Cranial Nerves

[@ialavez09]

I just wonder where is this guy now. He was right when he said, "this is my one contribution, don't get used to it". This video has helped me a lot for my exams just to refresh my cranial nerves before exams.

[@danielleacuna580]

right! I've used this video for years

[@dabdabdabi5]

Doing rounds as a wonderful physician I bet.

[@vibrantshadowsart]

I wonder if this is him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3_YlYGVaNWbhsk

[@alwaysontherise1]

He’s an Attending now. Former classmate of mine. Great guy.

[@alexanderhanania3293]

He’s faculty a UT Houston! Great guy

[@nancybib5269]

For anyone wondering i met him here in texas. He is now Dr. Karthik Bhandari, MD Internal Medicine Primary Care. He saw my husband yesterday for an ear pain. I watched this video 2 years ago before my nursing exit exam and graduated a couple weeks later.it was a great help. I remembered seeing his face and google him right away. The world is small

[@corboy8414]

That's incredible

[@katherynbell511]

I have been using this since undergrad and as a fourth-year med student studying for step 2, this is still one of my all-time favorite videos!

[@rebeccaphillips2207]

This is the the only cranial nerve study I did at the beginning of med school, and I've now finished med school and still it is the only cranial nerve study I've done. Thank you my friend, you are a legend.

[@MeganMichelleTimeLapses]

This is literally the best video EVER. I remember using it back when I took A&P and now im in my last semester of nursing and remembered this and came back to refresh. AMAZINGGG

[@Orowam]

Dude, I think I said this back in undergrad when I had general A+P and now that I'm in optometry school, I came back to this video to because I knew it would help me rememorise this. You. My man. MVP.

[@sierrakeila89]

...and the best teacher award goes to.... What I couldn't learn in a week learn in few minutes. Thank you is not enough.

[@StormyArmstrong-d1c]

Its been eleven years, you are still helping out medical students. We would like a "Where are you now" update. You have made an impact on all of my classes. I play your video before starting the neruo portion of the program. Thank you !!! 🙂

[@christinafrieh4303]

This guy is hilariously adorable because you could tell the dorkiness he feels explaining how these make sense 😂 good job!

[@Babiez003]

May I just say that med students around the world are grateful for ur contribution. You've just saved some time

[@dianinda5782]

The fact that you explained things as well as made it a story rather than just dry facts really made this a more meaningful and memorable study aid. Well done!

[@mzdiamondlover]

Watched this a year ago, rewatching to touch up on what I forgot. Please don’t ever take this video down!!! This is awesome!!!

[@drew4021]

dude I guess by now you are on your way to being a kickasss attending. This is still the best cranial nerve mnemonic out there -from when I first saw it studying for step1. you should post more about your residency experience -interviews etc

[@krishnchand5539]

I'm currently in Nursing School. This is super helpful when I'm doing my skills lab. Simple and effective! Thank You.

[@Therian183]

Back again to these video after four years for my higher studies. Amazing

[@mckenna8663]

I enjoy seeing all the little tricks people have for remembering the cranial nerves. Picked up a few from you - to fill in the gaps I had that were too convoluted. - thanks!!

[@dannyneiba]

you my friend are a little weird, but a total genius. Thank you

[@bshruthi7587]

..

[@armyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Danny Neiba 😂😂

[@xtalityz]

I can’t 🤣🤣🤣

[@elenasandalova4150]

so rude

[@ale347baker]

Not weird at all. Handsome, seems nice, but yes very smart.

[@TheSusanKate]

This is the ONLY way that helped me learn and ace that part of my A&P test (Massage Therapy School, accelerated program)! I watched it about 10 times! It only took about 3 times to teach me, but I just cemented it by watching it several more times. What can I say, IT WORKED!! THANK YOU, KARTHIK!!!! Fantastic job!!!

[@maloanecrawford1208]

The best and most helpful video out of the 22 that I looked at.

[@EDarien]

Just wanted to say thank you for not only contributing but keeping this up. It's March 2019 and I'm in PA school and I've watched this video a couple times throughout. It's helped when I was just learning the Cranial Nerves by name and trying to remember basics like sensory, motor, both and now I'm using it again during the neurology sections of class for more specific functions, innervations, etc. like CNV3 being anterior 2/3 of tongue NOT taste. Awesome video. Love what you did. Thanks so much.

[@edris.alkozi]

I think Nerve IV trochlear moves the eye ball down NOT up watch it review again. if you have question inbox me.

[@LittleAyishie]

Literally watching this the night before my exam

[@bunny-h4s-v4t]

same

[@sehamali5149]

This guy dropped this video 7 years ago , saved our lives and disappeared

[@kaleighmills2519]

I used this video to study for an anatomy exam when I was getting my BSN 6 years ago. currently getting my masters in nursing and just happened upon it again while studying neuro. the nostalgia is real

[@Ahmadof181]

Thanks very much, just a note, the the CN 12 (the hypoglossal N.) it innervate all the tongue muscles expect for the (Palato-glossus M.) which is innervated with by CN 10 (the vagus ) Thx Again :D

[@veronicagieser6559]

This is seriously an awesome way to remember what the nerves do. Paired with the nemonic from Cranial nerve song, I'm UNSTOPPABLE!

[@oliviaellis5272]

night before an exam and loving this video!!

[@grandebieberkn]

studying for my nursing exam drinking wine and come across this.... literally so fun and amazing i'll never forget these GENIUS

[@charmainevalentine8693]

Thank you! imma look like an idiot in my exam but who cares

[@mzdiamondlover]

Charmaine Valentine lmao especially when you start making #9’s sound haha

[@lilbabyangel125]

i used this during my undergrad couple years back, now im back to review for my nclex board exam .. thank u!

[@dianahansen5406]

Thanks so much!!! Its the first thing that I've seen that has actually helped me remember the cranial nerves. I think the only thing that I would have you add (a little bit more clearly) is whether each nerve is sensory only, motor only, or both. Thanks again!

[@vxp999]

Man , what can I say you are just great , only people with great imagination can create something like this . well rescpected .

[@lesliewilliams6342]

Thanks so much! I'm studying for my anatomy class right now, and this is definitely helping out a ton!

[@dudeofdudes678]

Used your video in undergrad for my Neuro Anatomy course, and now I'm back to it in Dental School! Thanks man, quality video!

[@PressEnter42]

Could remember 7 because the face has 7 holes: mouth, 2 nostils, 2 eyes, and 2 ears

[@yasminmasalha6266]

I've literally used this every year throughout my 4 years nursing school. This is my go to for help with cranial nerves. Thanks!

[@zztissue6479]

Great video! Only mistake is that CN IV (Trochear) is responsible for intorsion and eyeball depression, since it innervates the superior oblique muscle.

[@popo99ification]

Thank you so much for the video. You are well appreciated as my exam is this Friday for Anatomy class. Plus you are funny, informative, and make learning fun. :) I wish you can make more videos on tips about learning Anatomy the easy way because teachers make it hard and boring.

[@8dreamer1]

Dude. I found this easier to remember than that other awesome cranial nerve song running through KZbin. Thanks

[@leezaweezy7864]

Came back to this video 7 years later ! It helped me in college to pass my biology exam

[@kcinONE]

I'm going to look like an idiot pretending there is a spider on my face in class.

[@CoachAdamYouhanna]

ahhahahha. if it works it works

[@gianlucaiannetta4132]

if its stupid and it works its not stupid

[@kitkat586]

This video is gold. I used it when I took anatomy and now I'm back to it in neuro. Thanks for making cranial nerves easy! :)

[@iloveu975]

This is so damn good...mind me whilst I do weird as movements regards to my hands and face during the exam haha. Honestly, I wish we got taught stuff like this at Med school! Such a brilliant video, thank you so much for sharing :)

[@TchnoZ]

Helped a lot! But for the trochlear (CNIV), I should probably mention that while it does innervate the superior oblique, it doesn't really help you to look up. Since it is at an oblique angle, it actually helps you to look down and center. Patients with a trochlear nerve issue will often complain of having blurred vision when walking down the stairs.

[@TheeSteeze]

Great! But yes the Olfactory nerve does leave the Skull, The Olfactory Bulb had Olfactory nerves, which are a bunch of tiny nerves that exit the inferior end of the skull through the Cribriform Plate, they extend down into the Nasopharynx!

[@DarthHater100]

I bet you're fun at parties!

[@hylieprongsf.zeldin7844]

DarthHater100 hilarious as your comment was, I think I like his' better. He (she/?) was trying to better the viewer's learning-process and it's correctness. You just appeared cool. Good for you, mate ;)

[@thedaffamily5020]

This is actually a great idea this is the third time I'm studying for the 12 cranial nerves for different exams and I think this is the best way to learn congrats

[@lilreddheadd33]

I had to watch this for Medial Massage.... I learned a lot but..... whew distracting. He is tooo cute.

[@101lovr]

I dont know how you possibly sat and came up with this but it literally made my night

[@AndTheWallsFallDown]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. This was so insanely helpful.

[@zeyro666]

Still the best. Came back after over a year since anatomy class just for a refresher in my free time. Easy to remember and succinct.

[@zeyro666]

Wow I forgot I wrote this… popped up and wanted to say thank you. Years later and I have my doctorate. Because I passed anatomy class thanks to this!

[@WhoWantsToKnow0503]

Watching for my nursing school exit exam in June 2019! Thanks!!

[@meryemuca1905]

WhoWantsToKnow did you pass?

[@denetriawillie8013]

I learned the cranial nerves from you last year in gross anatomy. And now I'm in Nursing school and once again I'm refreshed. Thank you so much!

[@B0RICUA3]

Hi, I have seen this video many times to review. I just love it so much. thank you!!!!!!! It helped a lot!

[@chrisbrownie18]

I have watched this in my first year med before an exam in anatomy and until now, more than a year later, I still remember everything. I think this mnemonic will stay even if I'm already in practice. Thanks!

[@fowzianaamnih303]

i have one hour till my test .... and i'm doing all this moves with my hands in the library :D viva anatomy ....

[@danielfeng8938]

I fricking love you my friend. You're a genius for coming up with this.

[@AbaidDentalCare]

dude 1 video and 1686 people subscribed u....u should do more

[@smileplease3431]

1726 now

[@PunkstaQ]

1926 now!!! 😃

[@kokomel23]

2,600 now! 😁

[@Amanda_Beee]

I know this video was posted forever ago but Id just like you to know my test over the nerves is tomorrow and you just saved my life

[@td6063]

thanks. that was fun. finally got all the cranial nerves. i'm gonna be doing weird actions with my fingers and face while in the exam room

[@oxarose4998]

just wondering why didn't I come across this before. what a great job done man.

[@nathinila9396]

Ab- (6 packs) 6th nerve :-P ABDUCENS 7- there are 7 FACES that luks the same n the world -- Facial nerve ThnkQ

[@Dr.Prashant_Tanwar_vlogs]

Gud1

[@joedairy6164]

That was awesome! I think you guys come up with all this stuff on youtube because you are so freaking bored or frazzled late at night and you are doing whatever you can to remember for the 8am final and this is what you get. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@alwaysjamila]

I watched part of this video the night before an exam and thought, this shit sucks! but when I was practicing the next morning on my way to school i totally remembered what you said so I watched the video again lol. i even taught some of it to my classmates while we waited for the instructor. you really saved my ass!!! thank you thank you so much!

[@MissKarz]

This is awesome, very casual delivery thus not boring, but senseful. Thanks and cheers!

[@komalvyasmajmudar6094]

hey karthik thanks very nice video but there is wrong information about cranial nerve 4. cn 4 innervates supirior oblique goes down and in not up.

[@TheEbonizzy014]

Thank you so much! You are the best! This video is helping me so much in my anatomy class. I have a test coming up on the nervous system and endocrine system and I'm definitely acing this test thanks to you. I even recommended this video to my entire class and instructor. Hopefully they watch it cause this is our test definitely. I look forward to more videos like this in the future. Thanks again!!!

[@libiweiss673]

great video, however I would recommend that for Trochlear people point their fingers down and out (as opposed to up) because that's what the Sup. Oblique muscle does (which is innervated by CN IV. Thanks again for this!

[@marcusftyner]

This is the greatest video ever to help remember the cranial nerves

[@lisascurlock6886]

Thank you ! I will use you're hand movements, along with, a cranial rap video I found.

[@JarrodMorg]

I constantly come back to your great video...Thanks!

[@Coralcrue]

i got used to it, more videos pleasssssseeee :)

[@Pwnzorantman]

The superior oblique muscle functions to provide depression, intorsion, and lateral rotation of the eye, i.e., it's the "cheating muscle" because it is responsible for the typical look a person makes when they're cheating off of their neighbor in class. The point is, it's innervated by the trochlear nerve and doesn't help you look upwards, as you stated. Just wanted to point this out. Thank you so much for this video though. It's extremely helpful!!!

[@King_AJM]

Good job dude....you made it easy and twas fun...Thanks i got my finger bitten for real...lol

[@JMUNSG333]

This nursing student thanks you for sharing your learning efforts. That's exactly how I learn.

[@kathyko2819]

i just memorized all 12 CNs within the 12 minutes of your video. thanks! also. are you single? if yes, are you interested in a blind date? LOL i think you would be perfect for my friend. i dont think she uses CN 12 on the first date tho

[@champagnefinest]

lolz trying to funny

[@gardenking9341]

My entire anatomy class has been watching you- thank you so much- awesome delivery!

[@frenzyfaces1876]

Wow, so clever! Thank you! 😊

[@habileb]

This just saved me, so awesome. Only critique is, I think the CN IV makes you look downward (and also maybe upward) as it innervates the superior oblique muscle of the eye.

[@ElisaAlberts]

thanks

[@calvinlee6923]

Yeah pretty sure its down and sidewards, all my textbooks say that.

[@aleixhandris]

THANK YOU SO MUCHH!! This way I learned them immediately! Very useful, thanks! For CN XII however, I make that obscene expression that involves my two fingers and my tongue ahahahaha easier to remember!!! (Obviously I just do it in my head, can you imagine if I did it during my test? AHAHAAHAHA)

[@heavyhandedfilms]

This is by far the most useful cranial nerve learning device out there (also likely the weirdest). Big UP's!

[@dishfun99]

i love u!!! this is totally helpful!!!!thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! by the way u r really cute:)

[@ingypingy]

I agree with Susan. I'm already done my anatomy exam and don't have boards for awhile but can't take my eyes off of you.

[@callysv8995]

I still come back here every now and then. It is still his only contribution, 8 years later with more than 2k subs.

Hey Karthik, thank you very much for this video! I have watched many cranial nerves videos on KZbin, and your way is by far the funniest and easiest for me to remember! Thanks once again! :)

[@hannahlwalker4955]

Ahhh thank you so much! I have an a&p lab quiz today and hadnt studied much, this is such a help!

I don't know why but I will always remember this for the rest of my life! Genious this guy! Make more!

[@Butteredtoast_]

I can't believe I'm actually stooped over my laptop copying these ridiculous actions but they do help me remeber them! having a good laugh, that's what I call fun revision.

[@Kenzie72011]

Very clever, smart, and funny. Remembered all of it. Your going to be an amazing physician in your field of study. Thank you.

[@user-ws8vv2ut9c]

That sense of humor is everything 🤣 love it, THANK YOUUUU MAN you saved my life

[@mariamtashkandi1982]

I always come back to your video for cranial nerves exam revision and just to remember them! you helped me a lot with remembering the CN so thank you so much!!

[@BreeseBoys]

Thank you so much!! You totally helped me pass my exam. Great way to remember. Thank you a million times over!

[@track924]

YOU my man saved me hours of studying, and for that I appreciate you.

[@Lauren97x]

This is the only video that has actually helped me remember the nerves! Thank you!!

[@VeeSMILEYFace]

I'M ACTUALLY MEMORIZING THEM BY WATCHING YOU! THANK YOU!

[@ZrCorelx]

thanks bro i actually learned it in less than 20 minutes just by writing it down on paper and listening to u
