This quiz, titled 'Block 5 Anat head neck mini quest prt 1', assesses knowledge on anatomical features and nerve functions specific to the head and neck region. It is designed to test understanding of nerve pathways, muscle innervation, and vascular structures, critical for medical students preparing for exams.

Rate this question:
All spinal nerves contain the same types of functional components
A typical spinal nerve contains four functional components
General somatic efferent fibers supply striated voluntary muscles
The 1st cervical nerve is generally considered to be a purely motor nerve
General visceral efferent fibers control vasoconstriction and dilation of blood vessels
Rate this question:
Anterior cerebral
Posterior cerebral
Middle cerebral
Superior cerebellar
Anterior inferior cerebellar
Rate this question:
The patient's eyes showed normal responses to sensory stimuli
The patient exhibited paralysis of the left facial nerve
It was clear that the patient had bilateral weakness of the levator palpebrae
The young woman had paralysis of her left ophthalmic nerve
The patient had obvious conduction problems with her right ophthalmic nerve
Rate this question:
Auricular branches of the vagus and the nucleus ambiguus
Branches of the auriculotemporal nerve and the trigeminal ganglion
Sensory fibers of the glossopharyngeal nerve and the inferior salivatory nucleus
Posterior auricular branches of the facial nerve and the geniculate ganglion
Pharyngeal branches of the vagus nerve and the nucleus solitarius
Rate this question:
Branches of the sphenopalatine artery and a branch derived from the facial artery
Posterior ethmoidal artery, branches of the lesser palatine
Ascending pharyngeal artery, dorsal branches of the lingual artery
Infraorbital artery branches, lateral nasal branches of angular artery
Supratrochlear arterial branches, pharyngeal branches of maxillary artery and posterior ethmoidal
Rate this question:
The mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve is the only division which supplies skeletal muscles
The facial nerve does not supply sensation to the cheek
The platysma muscle receives its motor supply from neurons derived from C2, C3 which are carried by the transverse cervical and greater auricular nerves
The buccal branch of the trigeminal nerve does not provide motor supply to the buccinator muscle
Bell's palsy is not usually associated with physical pain
Rate this question:
The posterior surface of the parotid gland is in contact with the sternocleidomastoid muscle
The parotid duct empties opposite the second upper molar tooth
This is the gland that is infected in mumps
The parotid gland is invested with dense connective tissue so that any swelling of the gland results in pain
A lesion of the facial nerve at the stylomastoid foramen results in interruption of the nerve supply to the parotid and secretion is reduced
Rate this question:
The axillary sheath that surrounds the brachial plexus is derived from the prevertebral fascia of the neck
Torticollis results from injury to the facial nerve
The platysma is ensheathed (covered) by the cervical investing fascia
If a sternocleidomastoid muscle is paralyzed, there will be weakness in turning the head to the side of the paralyzed muscle
The first rib provides the base for the posterior cervical triangle
Rate this question:
The retromandibular vein is formed by the superficial temporal and maxillary veins
The pulse felt over the zygomatic arch, in front of the ear, is that of the superficial temporal and maxillary veins
The facial vein most commonly drains into the external jugular vein
The facial artery arises from the external carotid
Infected facial venous blood can get into intracranial veins (the cavernous sinus, for instance) by way of the ophthalmic vein
Rate this question:
Between the dense connective tissue layer and the epicranial aponeurosis
In the fourth or loose connective tissue layer of the scalp
Between the skull and the dura
In the dense connective tissue layer of the scalp
Between dura and subarachnoid meningeal layers
Rate this question:
Encloses the platysma muscle
Covers, and surrounds the viscera of the neck, including the larynx and pharynx
Covers the ventral surface of the anterior scalene muscle and long thoracic nerve
Provides the anterior boundary of the "danger space" of the neck
Ensheathes (surrounds) and passes between the trapezius and the sternocleidomastoid muscles
