2. Muscles that move the elbow? (flexors) Anterior or Posterior?

Explanation

The muscles listed (biceps brachii, brachialis, coracobrachialis) are known as elbow flexors and are located in the anterior part of the arm, responsible for bending the elbow.

Submit
3. Which muscles are responsible for moving the elbow? (extensors) Anterior or Posterior?

Explanation

The muscles responsible for moving the elbow as extensors are located in the posterior part of the arm, specifically the triceps brachii and anconeus. These muscles work together to extend the forearm at the elbow joint.

Submit
4. Name these blanked out portions of the ulna & radius.

Explanation

The styloid processes are the bony prominences at the distal end of both the ulna and radius.

Submit
5. What mnemonic is commonly used to remember the carpal bones in the hand?

Explanation

The mnemonic 'SOME LOVERS TRY POSITIONS THAT THEY CAN'T HANDLE.' is a common way to remember the carpal bones in the hand in order from proximal (from lateral to medial) to distal (from lateral to medial). Each word corresponds to a specific carpal bone helping with memorization.

Submit
6. Name these bones.....

Explanation

The question is asking for the names of certain bones. The correct answer must be identified among the multiple-choice options provided.

Submit
7. Name these blanked out movements....

Explanation

This question is testing your knowledge on movements. Make sure to carefully consider each option before selecting the correct answer.

Submit
8. Name these blanked out finger movements.

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Finger'. All the incorrect answers refer to different parts of the hand, while the question specifically asks for finger movements.

Submit
9. What are the primary joints found in the forearm and hand?

Explanation

The primary joints found in the forearm and hand are crucial for flexibility and movement of the upper extremities. These joints include a variety of connections between the radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges allowing for various movements and functions in daily activities.

Submit
10. PIP: DIP:

Explanation

In the medical field, PIP refers to the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint and DIP refers to the Distal Interphalangeal Joint, responsible for finger movement and flexibility.

Submit
11. Name the superficial muscles of the Anterior Compartment (5) and identify them on this picture.
Submit
12. Name the intermediate muscle of the Anterior compartment(1) as shown in this picture.

Explanation

The correct answer is flexor digitorum superficialis, as it is the intermediate muscle in the anterior compartment. Biceps brachii, quadriceps femoris, and trapezius are not part of the anterior compartment or the intermediate muscle in that compartment.

Submit
13. Name the deep muscles of the Anterior compartment (3) and identify them on this picture.

Explanation

The deep muscles of the Anterior compartment are primarily responsible for flexion of the wrist and fingers, as well as pronation of the forearm. The incorrect answers provided are not deep muscles of the Anterior compartment but rather muscles with different functions and locations in the arm.

Submit
14. Name the superficial muscles of the Posterior compartment of the forearm (7) and identify the 5 you can see in the picture.

Explanation

The superficial muscles of the Posterior compartment of the forearm are responsible for extending the wrist, fingers, and thumb. They are located on the back side of the forearm and are important for various movements of the wrist and fingers.

Submit
15. Name the deep muscles of the Posterior compartment of the forearm (5) and identify them in the picture.

Explanation

The correct answer, supinator, is a deep muscle of the Posterior compartment of the forearm responsible for supinating the forearm. The other options provided are muscles located in the forearm but not within the deep muscles of the Posterior compartment, making them incorrect choices.

Submit
16. Which muscles of the Posterior compartment are responsible for extending the wrist? (3).

Explanation

The correct muscles responsible for extending the wrist are extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, and extensor carpi ulnaris located in the posterior compartment of the forearm. Flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, and pronator teres are not the muscles responsible for wrist extension.

Submit
17. Which muscles of the Posterior compartment are responsible for extending the digits (excluding thumb)?

Explanation

The correct answer includes extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi, and extensor indicis. Flexor digitorum profundus is responsible for flexing the digits, abductor digiti minimi is responsible for abducting the little finger, and pronator teres is involved in pronation of the forearm. Therefore, they are not responsible for extending the digits as specified in the question.

Submit
18. Which muscles of the Posterior compartment are responsible for extending the thumb?

Explanation

The muscles responsible for extending the thumb are part of the posterior compartment and include the abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis, and extensor pollicis longus. Flexor pollicis longus and flexor pollicis brevis are involved in flexing the thumb, while extensor digiti minimi is responsible for extending the little finger, not the thumb.

Submit
19. Name the hypothenar muscles (3) and identify them on the picture.

Explanation

The hypothenar muscles are responsible for the movement of the little finger. The correct muscles are opponens digiti minimi, flexor digiti minini brevis, and abductor digiti minimi. The incorrect answers listed do not correspond to the hypothenar muscles.

Submit
20. Name the thenar muscles (3) and identify them on the picture.

Explanation

The thenar muscles are specific muscles located at the base of the thumb responsible for its movements and function. Correct answers are opponens pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis, and abductor pollicis brevis. The incorrect answers extensor pollicis longus, adductor pollicis, and dorsal interossei are not part of the thenar muscle group.

Submit
21. Identify the connective tissue pointed out by the red arrow.

Explanation

The correct answer is the Flexor Retinaculum because it is a thick connective tissue structure that holds tendons in place at the wrist and ankle. The other incorrect options are different types of connective tissues that do not serve the same function as the flexor retinaculum.

Submit
22. What is the meaning of interossei?

Explanation

The term 'interossei' refers to muscles that are located between other structures, such as between the metacarpal bones in the hand. PALMER ADDUCT refers to the action of bringing the fingers together towards the palm, while DORSAL ABDUCT refers to the action of moving the fingers away from the midline on the back of the hand.

Submit
23. Identify the muscles shown in the image.

Explanation

The correct answer includes muscles located in the quadriceps of the upper leg, none of the incorrect answers are located in this region.

Submit
24. Identify the muscles known as the quadriceps.

Explanation

The quadriceps are a group of four muscles at the front of the thigh that act to extend the knee joint.

Submit
25. Define ANASTOMOSIS.

Explanation

Anastomosis refers to a connection or opening between two things that are normally diverging or branching, such as blood vessels or leaf veins, allowing for blood flow or exchange of fluids.

Submit
26. Identify the blanked out arteries in this image.

Explanation

The carotid arteries are responsible for the supply of oxygenated blood to the head and neck. The other options are not arteries and do not perform the same function as the carotid arteries.

Submit
27. Name the arteries that branch off each of the 3 sections of the axillary artery.

Explanation

The axillary artery has three main sections and each section gives rise to specific branches that supply blood to different areas of the upper limb.

Submit
28. Name these blanked out structures.

Explanation

This question is testing knowledge on identifying structures based on a given context. The correct answer should match the structure that has been blanked out.

Submit
29. Which vascular structure is commonly targeted for drawing blood between the arm and forearm?

Explanation

When drawing blood between the arm and forearm, the median cubital vein is usually the preferred target as it is large and located close to the surface, making it easier to access for blood draws.
