My friends and I came up with some pretty funny mnemonics for remembering the sutures and fontanelles of the skull which I'm gonna share with you all (in the case of you ever take an anatomy course )😬

1st one is for sutures: (S)imple (S)ally (L)ikes (C)oronas.

-The letters in parenthesis stand for the specific sutures: Squamous, Saggital, Lambdoid, and Coronal

The 2nd one for fontanelles: (P)aul (S)mokes (M)arijuana (A)lot

- For this one, letters in parenthesis stand for Posterior, Sphenoid, Mastoid, and Anterior.

I hope that helps, if anything with remembering stuff like that 😂

All love is time travel Scoured shore, painted caves, limestone gorges. Plums and cold water in the desert. The winter river. This far.
