Nursing Mnemonic: PMS, Angry Ladies, and the External Carotid Artery

Nursing Mnemonic
Let’s start with a mnemonic for the external carotid artery. Its 8 branches are the:

Superior thyroid
Ascending pharyngeal
Lingual
Facial
Occipital
Posterior auricular
Maxillary
Superficial temporal

I remember these branches using the sentence:

“Some Angry Ladies Fight Off PMS.”
