	Thanks very much for this quiz, big help with learning my anatomy at med school! Abducent should be accepted for abducens, though.

	The accessory nerve does not control swallowing movements. It controls neck and shoulder movements.

	to make it more challenging, the division and the nerves on the trigeminal should be added along with the branches of the facial, the glossopharyngeal, and the branches and nerves of the vagus

	We were taught: Oh Oh Oh to touch and feel virgin girl's v and hymens Reasoning was, if we heard it once, we'd never forget it.

	I learned Vestibular for Vesibulocochlear...any chance of accepting that? Deacon> I heard the same one and will never forget it

	As with all these anatomical quizzes, I think it would be great if the Latin names would also be accepted. Opticus, facialis, vestibulocochlearis and trochlearis are already accepted by typing part of the name, and abducens and vagus are already there, but olfactorius, occulomotorius, glossopharyngeus, hypoglossus, accessorius and trigeminus should all be acceptable answers.

	Only took me one minute to get all of them (04:00 remaining), and in order too. I used the mnemonic: Obviously Once One Takes The Anatomy Final, Very Good Vodka Alleviates Heartache.

	Ha. My anatomy professor had a bit more specific mnemonic: "Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel Veronica's gaping v... and hymen." I really don't know if us writing v is going to make a difference as far as self-censorship is concerned. Oh well.

	As lathund said, it'd be great if the Latin names were also accepted.
