  • 2. 

    Ventricular filling and elongation occurs during

    • Diastole

    • Systole

    Correct Answer
    A. Diastole
    Explanation
    During diastole, the ventricles of the heart relax and fill with blood. This is the phase of the cardiac cycle where the atria contract and push blood into the ventricles. The ventricular filling and elongation occur during this phase as the blood flows from the atria into the ventricles, stretching the ventricular walls and increasing their volume. This allows for the ventricles to be filled with an adequate amount of blood before the next contraction during systole.

    The platysma is

    • Found in the thorax

    • Cranial nerve IV

    • Important muscle for facial expression

    • An extinct amphibian

    Correct Answer
    A. Important muscle for facial expression
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "important muscle for facial expression" because the platysma is a thin, broad muscle that covers the front of the neck and extends into the lower face. It is responsible for various facial expressions, such as pulling down the corners of the mouth and tightening the skin of the neck. It is not found in the thorax or related to cranial nerve IV, nor is it an extinct amphibian.

    Visceral pleura cannot be dissected from the lungs

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the visceral pleura is a thin membrane that covers the surface of the lungs and is tightly adhered to it. It cannot be easily separated or dissected from the lungs without causing damage. The visceral pleura and the lungs are closely connected and function together to protect and support the lungs during breathing.

    Where is CSF formed

    • Subarachnoid space

    • Pia mater

    • Dura mater

    • Choroid plexus

    Correct Answer
    A. Choroid plexus
    Explanation
    The choroid plexus is responsible for the formation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Located in the ventricles of the brain, the choroid plexus consists of specialized cells that produce CSF by filtering blood plasma and secreting it into the ventricles. CSF then circulates throughout the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and nutrients to the nervous system. Therefore, the choroid plexus is the site where CSF is formed.

  • 6. 

    All thoracic viscera and structure except the lungs are found in the mediastinum

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the mediastinum is the central compartment of the thoracic cavity, located between the lungs. It contains various organs and structures such as the heart, esophagus, trachea, thymus gland, and major blood vessels. The lungs, on the other hand, are not located in the mediastinum but rather on either side of it. Therefore, all thoracic viscera and structures except the lungs can be found in the mediastinum.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Pulmonary arteries carry venous blood and veins carry arterial blood

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen, while veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. This is the opposite of what happens in the systemic circulation, where arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The conduction of the heart i s

    • SA-Purkinje fibers-AV-Bundle branches

    • SA - AV- Bundle Branches-Purkinje fibers

    • AV-SA Bundle Branches-Purkinje fibers

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. SA - AV- Bundle Branches-Purkinje fibers
    Explanation
    The correct answer is SA - AV- Bundle Branches-Purkinje fibers. This sequence represents the conduction pathway of the heart. The electrical signal originates from the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is the natural pacemaker of the heart. From there, the signal travels to the atrioventricular (AV) node, which acts as a relay station. Next, the signal is conducted through the bundle branches, which divide into the left and right branches and distribute the electrical impulse to the ventricles. Finally, the signal spreads through the Purkinje fibers, which stimulate the contraction of the ventricles, causing them to pump blood.

    The right common carotid and  right subclavian arteries are formed by

    • Brachiocephalic vein

    • Left common carotid

    • Brachiocephalic trunk

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Brachiocephalic trunk
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the brachiocephalic trunk. The brachiocephalic trunk is a major artery that arises from the aortic arch and gives rise to the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery. It is responsible for supplying blood to the right side of the head, neck, and upper limb. The brachiocephalic vein, left common carotid, and none of the above options are not involved in the formation of the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries.

    • Mandible

    • Frontal

    • Maxilla

    • Zygomatic

    Correct Answer
    A. Zygomatic
    Explanation
    The zygomatic bone is most likely to be involved in trauma to the prominence of the cheeks. This bone is commonly referred to as the cheekbone and is located on the lateral aspect of the face. It forms the prominence of the cheeks and contributes to the structure of the eye socket. Trauma to this area can result in fractures or other injuries to the zygomatic bone.

    After surgery of the neck, pt. develops a hoarse voice, which is the most likely cause

    • Injury of the Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)

    • Trauma of the vagus nerve

    • Damage to reccurent laryngeal nerve

    • Impairment of the phrenic nerve

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Damage to reccurent laryngeal nerve
    Explanation
    Damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve is the most likely cause of a hoarse voice after surgery of the neck. The recurrent laryngeal nerve innervates the muscles responsible for vocal cord movement. Injury to this nerve can result in vocal cord paralysis or dysfunction, leading to hoarseness. The other options, such as injury of the hypoglossal nerve, trauma of the vagus nerve, or impairment of the phrenic nerve, do not directly affect the vocal cords and are less likely to cause hoarseness.

    The SA node is located

    • Deep to the myocardium

    • At SVC & right atrium juntion

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. At SVC & right atrium juntion
    Explanation
    The SA node, also known as the sinoatrial node, is located at the junction of the superior vena cava (SVC) and the right atrium. This is where the electrical impulses that initiate the heartbeat originate. The SA node is not deep within the myocardium, but rather positioned at this specific junction in the heart. Therefore, the correct answer is "at SVC & right atrium junction."

    Female breasts enlarge during puberty because of

    • Glandular development

    • Fat deposition

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    During puberty, female breasts enlarge due to glandular development and fat deposition. Glandular development refers to the growth and development of the milk-producing glands in the breasts, which is stimulated by hormonal changes. At the same time, fat deposition occurs in the breasts, leading to an increase in size. Both processes contribute to the enlargement of female breasts during puberty, making the answer "all of the above" correct.

    Which artery gives the SA and AV node the majority of their blood supply

    • LAD

    • RCA

    • LCA

    • Circumflex

    Correct Answer
    A. RCA
    Explanation
    The right coronary artery (RCA) is responsible for supplying the majority of blood to the sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) nodes. These nodes play a crucial role in regulating the electrical signals that control the heart's rhythm. The RCA is one of the main coronary arteries and is located on the right side of the heart. It supplies blood to various regions of the heart, including the SA and AV nodes, ensuring their proper functioning.

    The ligamentum arteriosum connects

    • Right ventricle and pulmonary artery

    • Aorta and pulmonary vein

    • Right atrium and left atrium

    • Pulmonary artery and surface of aortic arch

    Correct Answer
    A. Pulmonary artery and surface of aortic arch
    Explanation
    The ligamentum arteriosum is a small fibrous band that connects the pulmonary artery to the surface of the aortic arch. In fetal development, it is a crucial structure that diverts blood away from the non-functioning lungs and towards the systemic circulation. After birth, the ligamentum arteriosum typically closes and becomes a non-functional remnant. Therefore, the correct answer is that the ligamentum arteriosum connects the pulmonary artery and the surface of the aortic arch.

    The right main bronchi is a common site of obstruction in the lung while the left main bronchi is a site of obstruction in the esophagus

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left main bronchus. This anatomical difference makes the right main bronchus more prone to obstruction by foreign objects or mucus, leading to conditions like aspiration pneumonia. On the other hand, the left main bronchus is narrower and more horizontal, making it less likely to be obstructed. However, it is important to note that both main bronchi can be sites of obstruction, but the right main bronchus is more commonly affected.

    • Phrenic nerve

    • Hypoglossal (CN XII)

    • Trigeminal ( CN V)

    • None of the abvoe

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypoglossal (CN XII)
    Explanation
    The hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) passes deep to the digastric muscle and enters the submandibular region. This nerve is responsible for controlling the movements of the tongue, including swallowing and speech. It also provides sensory information from the tongue. The phrenic nerve is not relevant to the submandibular region, as it innervates the diaphragm. The trigeminal nerve (CN V) is responsible for sensory information from the face, but it does not pass deep to the digastric muscle. Therefore, the correct answer is hypoglossal (CN XII).

    • Lobar bronchi

    • Segmental bronchi

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Lobar bronchi
    Explanation
    The main bronchi, also known as primary bronchi, are the first branches of the trachea that enter the lungs. They further divide into smaller bronchi called lobar bronchi. Lobar bronchi are responsible for supplying air to each lobe of the lungs. On the other hand, segmental bronchi are the smaller branches that arise from the lobar bronchi and supply air to specific segments within each lobe. Therefore, the correct answer is lobar bronchi.

    When do coronary arteries fill the most

    • Systole

    • Diastole

    • Equally in both

    • In between cycles

    Correct Answer
    A. Diastole
    Explanation
    During diastole, the coronary arteries fill the most. Diastole is the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart is relaxed and the chambers are filling with blood. During this phase, the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle itself, receive the most blood flow. This is because the pressure in the heart is lower during diastole, allowing for adequate perfusion of the coronary arteries and ensuring that the heart muscle receives the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function properly.

    • Vestibulocochlear organ

    • Endolymph

    • Tympanic plexus of nerves

    • Malleus, incus, stapes

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "none of the above." This is because the question is asking about the involvement of certain structures in problems related to the external ear, and none of the options listed (vestibulocochlear organ, endolymph, tympanic plexus of nerves, malleus, incus, stapes) are directly associated with the external ear. The vestibulocochlear organ is responsible for hearing and balance, the endolymph is a fluid found in the inner ear, the tympanic plexus of nerves is associated with the middle ear, and the malleus, incus, and stapes are the three small bones in the middle ear. Therefore, none of these options are involved in problems related to the external ear.

    • Decreased ability to smile

    • Decreased flow of tears

    • Inability to move lips

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreased flow of tears
    Explanation
    Injury to the obicularis oculi, the muscle responsible for closing the eyelids, can affect the normal functioning of tear production and drainage. The obicularis oculi muscle plays a crucial role in the lacrimal pump mechanism, which helps in the flow of tears. If this muscle is injured, it can lead to a decreased ability to close the eyelids properly, resulting in decreased flow of tears.
