    The capillaries bridges are the smallest arteries to the venules.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body and they connect arteries to veins. They form a network throughout the body and are responsible for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues. Capillaries bridge the gap between arteries and venules, which are small veins. Therefore, the statement that capillaries bridges are the smallest arteries to the venules is true.

    During supination the radius lies parallel to ulna.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During supination, the forearm rotates so that the palm faces up or forward. This movement causes the radius bone to cross over the ulna bone, resulting in the two bones becoming parallel to each other. Therefore, the statement that "during supination the radius lies parallel to ulna" is true.

    Biceps brachii is inserted into radial tuberosity.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the biceps brachii muscle, which is located in the upper arm, does indeed insert into the radial tuberosity. The radial tuberosity is a small, bumpy prominence located on the radius bone of the forearm. The biceps brachii muscle originates from the scapula and crosses both the shoulder and elbow joints. Its tendon attaches to the radial tuberosity, allowing the muscle to exert force and control movements of the forearm, such as flexion and supination.

    The posterior fold of the axilla is formed by latissmus dorsi and teres major muscles.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The posterior fold of the axilla is formed by the latissimus dorsi and teres major muscles. These muscles are located in the back and contribute to the shape and structure of the axilla, which is the armpit area. The latissimus dorsi is a large muscle that extends from the lower back to the upper arm, while the teres major is a smaller muscle that runs along the lower edge of the scapula. Together, these muscles create the fold or crease that is visible in the posterior aspect of the axilla. Therefore, the statement is true.

    The right subclavian artery originated from brachiocephalic trunk of the heart.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the right subclavian artery does indeed originate from the brachiocephalic trunk of the heart. The brachiocephalic trunk is a major artery that branches off from the aorta and supplies blood to the right arm and the right side of the head and neck. One of the branches of the brachiocephalic trunk is the right subclavian artery, which continues to supply blood to the right arm. Therefore, the statement that the right subclavian artery originates from the brachiocephalic trunk is true.

    The sternal end of the clavicle is the least part to expose to fracture.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The sternal end of the clavicle is the least part to expose to fracture because it is the most protected part of the bone. It is located close to the sternum and is surrounded by strong ligaments and muscles, providing it with stability and reducing the risk of fracture. In contrast, the lateral end of the clavicle is more exposed and vulnerable to fractures due to its position and lack of surrounding support.

    Pectoralis major muscle is distally attached to bicipital groove of humerus.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The pectoralis major muscle is indeed distally attached to the bicipital groove of the humerus. This attachment allows the muscle to play a role in various movements of the arm, such as flexion, adduction, and medial rotation. The bicipital groove is a shallow groove on the anterior surface of the humerus, located between the greater and lesser tubercles. The tendon of the pectoralis major muscle inserts into this groove, providing stability and strength to the arm during movements. Therefore, the statement is true.
