Rat Like Big Mouse/Mice = contents of cubital fossa
R= Radial n.

mediastinal structures

superior =SAVETTT-SVC,ARCH OF AORTA ,Vagus,Easophagus,Thymus,Trachea,Thoracic duct
ANTERIOR =FATI-Fat,Alveolar tissue,inferior thymus
MIDDLE= PPH -Phrenic nerve ,Pericardium,Heart
posterior=TESTA-THORACIC AORTA,Esophagus,Sympathic duct,Trachea,Azygous vein

SINRAD…

S=Superiors…IN=intorters,
R=Recti…AD=Adductors,

Thus,
Superior oblique intorts, inferior oblique extorts,
Superior recti intorts, inferior recti extorts,

Superior recti and inferior recti are adductors,
superior oblique and inferior oblique are abductors.
