Which of the following is the most common site of disc herniation?
- A.
C6-7
- B.
T12-L1
- C.
L4-5
- D.
L5-S1
Correct Answer
D. L5-S1Explanation
The most common site of disc herniation is at the L5-S1 level. This is because the L5-S1 disc is located at the bottom of the lumbar spine, where the spine bears the most weight and undergoes the most movement. Additionally, the L5-S1 disc is responsible for connecting the lumbar spine to the sacrum, making it more susceptible to wear and tear. Therefore, disc herniation is more likely to occur at this level compared to the other options provided.Rate this question:

Which of the following eye muscles rotates the eye upward and toward midline?
- A.
Inferior oblique
- B.
Superior oblique
- C.
Inferior rectus
- D.
Superior rectus
Correct Answer
D. Superior rectusExplanation
The superior rectus muscle is responsible for rotating the eye upward and toward the midline. It is one of the six extraocular muscles that control the movement of the eye. When the superior rectus contracts, it pulls the eye upward and inward, allowing us to look upward and converge our eyes towards the midline. The other options, inferior oblique, superior oblique, and inferior rectus, have different functions and are not involved in this particular movement.Rate this question:
