    The tarsals are located near the:

    • Shoulder

    • Hand

    • Hip

    • Knee

    • Foot

    Correct Answer
    A. Foot
    Explanation
    The tarsals are a group of bones located in the foot. They are responsible for providing stability and support to the foot, allowing it to bear weight and facilitate movement. The tarsals connect the bones of the lower leg (tibia and fibula) to the metatarsals, which are the bones of the midfoot and forefoot. Therefore, the correct answer is Foot.

    Zygomas are:

    • Cheek bones

    • Female Genitals

    • Male Genitals

    • Vertebrae

    Correct Answer
    A. Cheek bones
    Explanation
    Zygomas are cheek bones. They are a pair of bones that form the prominences of the cheeks and the sides of the face. These bones contribute to the overall structure and shape of the face, as well as providing support for the muscles involved in chewing and facial expressions. The term "zygoma" is derived from the Greek word for "yoke" or "bridge," which reflects their function in connecting various parts of the skull and face.

    Most veins carry:

    • Oxygen-poor blood

    • Oxygen-rich blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Oxygen-poor blood
    Explanation
    Veins are blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart. Oxygen-poor blood is typically carried by veins, as it has already delivered oxygen to the body's tissues and organs and is returning to the heart to be reoxygenated in the lungs. In contrast, arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is oxygen-poor blood.

    Prone refers to a patient who is:

    • Lying on his back

    • Lying on his abdomen

    Correct Answer
    A. Lying on his abdomen
    Explanation
    The term "prone" refers to a patient who is lying on his abdomen. This position is often used in medical settings for procedures or examinations that require access to the back or spine. It allows for better visualization and access to the posterior aspect of the body. Lying on the back is called supine, which is the opposite of prone.

    The medical term for the heel bone is the:

    • Talus

    • Calcaneus

    • Osteoheel

    • Metatarsal

    Correct Answer
    A. Calcaneus
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Calcaneus. The calcaneus is the medical term for the heel bone. It is the largest bone in the foot and is located at the back of the foot, forming the heel. The calcaneus plays a crucial role in weight-bearing and helps to support the body's weight during activities such as walking, running, and jumping.

    The transverse process is located in the

    • Cranium

    • Foot

    • Knee

    • Shoulder

    • Spine

    Correct Answer
    A. Spine
    Explanation
    The transverse process is a bony projection that extends from the sides of each vertebra in the spine. It serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments, providing stability and support to the spine. The other options, such as the cranium, foot, knee, and shoulder, do not have transverse processes. Therefore, the correct answer is spine.

    The appendix is located in the?

    • RUQ

    • LUQ

    • LLQ

    • RLQ

    Correct Answer
    A. RLQ
    Explanation
    The appendix is located in the right lower quadrant (RLQ) of the abdomen. This is the area on the right side of the abdomen, below the belly button. The appendix is a small pouch-like organ attached to the large intestine. It is a common site for inflammation and infection, leading to a condition called appendicitis. If left untreated, appendicitis can be a medical emergency, requiring surgical removal of the appendix.

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    The lumbar region of the spine consists of five vertebrae, numbered L1 to L5. These vertebrae are located in the lower back and are the largest and strongest in the spinal column. They provide support to the upper body and allow for a wide range of movements, such as bending and twisting. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.

    A. RUQ
    Explanation
    The gallbladder is located in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of the abdomen. It is a small pear-shaped organ that is situated just below the liver. The RUQ is the area of the abdomen that is located on the right side and above the belly button. The gallbladder plays a role in storing and concentrating bile, which is produced by the liver and helps in the digestion of fats.

    • 4

    • 5

    • 6

    Correct Answer
    A. 5

    This is an extremely difficult medical question for EXTRA CREDITVagal maneuvers:

    • Slow conduction through the SA node

    • Speed conduction through the SA node

    • Slow conduction through the AV node

    • Speed conduction through the AV node

    Correct Answer
    A. Slow conduction through the AV node
    Explanation
    Vagal maneuvers refer to various techniques used to stimulate the vagus nerve, which can help regulate heart rate and rhythm. Slow conduction through the AV node is the correct answer because vagal maneuvers primarily work by decreasing the conduction of electrical signals through the AV node, which is responsible for transmitting signals from the atria to the ventricles. By slowing down the conduction through the AV node, vagal maneuvers can be effective in treating certain cardiac arrhythmias, such as supraventricular tachycardia.

    What does hypoxia mean?

    • Low oxygen in blood

    • Low oxygen in body tissue

    • Low iron in body tissue

    • Low iron in blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Low oxygen in body tissue
    Explanation
    Hypoxia refers to a condition characterized by low levels of oxygen in body tissue. This can occur when there is insufficient oxygen supply to the tissues, leading to a decrease in cellular oxygenation. It can be caused by various factors such as respiratory disorders, cardiovascular problems, or high altitudes. Hypoxia can have detrimental effects on the body, affecting organ function and potentially leading to serious health complications if left untreated.

    • 18 percent

    Correct Answer
    A. 7 percent
    Explanation
    The percentages on an infant are head (18%), anterior torso (18%), posterior torso (18%), each leg (14%), and each arm (9%). So the front of a leg is 7 percent.
