1. Mnemonics : Contents of the Cavernous Sinus @ Our Teacher Overlooked My Correct Answers.Oculomotor Nerve (CN III)

2. Mnemonics: Bones of the skull: @ Person Tired Of Studying Fails Everytime.
Parietal (2) , Temporal (2) i.e. Paired
O- Occipital (Unpaired)
S- Sphenoid (Unpaired)
F- Frontal (Unpaired)
E- Ethmoid (Unpaired)
Hence, a total of eight bones excluding the ear ossicles viz. Malleus, incus and stapes on each side make up the brain case / calvaria.
3. Mnemonics : Facial Bones

M- Maxilla (2)
Z- Zygomatic (2)
N- Nasal (2)
L- Lacrimal (2)
I- Inferior Nasal Concha (2)
P- Palatine (2)
And , two unpaired bones Mandible and Vomer. Thus, a total of 14 bones form the facial skeleton.

8. Mnemonics: Nucleii of third and fourth cranial nerve
@ 3 superior goods = 4 inferior goods
Nucleus of third cranial nerve ( Oculomotor) lies at the level of superior colliculus. And,
Nucleus of fourth cranial nerve ( Trochlear) lies at the level of inferior colliculus.
* Both the superior and inferior colliculi are parts of the midbrain.
9. Mnemonics : Total paralysis of third cranial nerve i.e. oculomotor results
