(16)The right common corotid artery begins at the level of the?
- A.
Second costal cartilage
- B.
Sternoclavicular articulation
- C.
Arch of the aorta
- D.
Superior border of the thyroid cartilage
Correct Answer
B. Sternoclavicular articulationExplanation
The right common carotid artery begins at the level of the sternoclavicular articulation. This is the joint where the clavicle (collarbone) meets the sternum (breastbone). The carotid artery is one of the major blood vessels in the neck that supplies oxygenated blood to the head and neck region. It branches off from the brachiocephalic artery, which arises from the arch of the aorta. However, the right common carotid artery itself starts at the sternoclavicular articulation. The second costal cartilage and the superior border of the thyroid cartilage are not relevant anatomical landmarks for the origin of the right common carotid artery.Rate this question:

The common carotid arteries terminate at the level of the?
- A.
Second costal cartilage
- B.
Sternoclavicular articulation
- C.
Arch of the aorta
- D.
Superior border of the thyroid cartilage
Correct Answer
D. Superior border of the thyroid cartilageExplanation
The common carotid arteries terminate at the superior border of the thyroid cartilage. The thyroid cartilage is a large, shield-shaped cartilage located in the front of the neck, commonly known as the Adam's apple. The common carotid arteries are major blood vessels that supply blood to the head and neck. They bifurcate, or split into two branches, at the level of the superior border of the thyroid cartilage, forming the internal and external carotid arteries.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Center of the popliteal space parallel to the long axis of the lower extremityExplanation
The correct answer is the center of the popliteal space parallel to the long axis of the lower extremity. This is because the popliteal artery is located in the popliteal space, which is the hollow at the back of the knee. The linear guide for the artery would be from the center of this space, running parallel to the long axis of the lower extremity. This ensures that the artery is properly identified and accessed during medical procedures or interventions.Rate this question:

The right ________artery is shorter than the left due to it's orgins?
- A.
Axillary
- B.
Brachiocephalic
- C.
Subclavian
- D.
Femoral
Correct Answer
C. SubclavianExplanation
The correct answer is Subclavian. The right subclavian artery is shorter than the left due to its origins. The subclavian artery is a major blood vessel that supplies blood to the upper limbs, chest wall, and parts of the brain. It arises from the brachiocephalic trunk on the right side and directly from the aortic arch on the left side. The right subclavian artery has a shorter course because it originates closer to the aortic arch compared to the left subclavian artery.Rate this question:

The__________artery changes it's name to femoral and is used in embalming of an autopsied body?
- A.
Brachiocephalic
- B.
Common iliac
- C.
Descending aorta
- D.
External iliac
Correct Answer
D. External iliacExplanation
The external iliac artery changes its name to femoral and is used in embalming of an autopsied body. This is because the external iliac artery is a continuation of the common iliac artery and becomes the femoral artery as it passes under the inguinal ligament. Embalming is the process of preserving a deceased body, and using the femoral artery in embalming allows for the distribution of embalming fluid to the lower extremities of the body.Rate this question:

(36)The inferior vena cava is the vein which accompanies the?
- A.
Ascending aorta
- B.
Arch of aorta
- C.

Descending aorta
Correct Answer
D. Descending aortaExplanation
The inferior vena cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body back to the heart. It is located on the right side of the body and runs parallel to the descending aorta, which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the lower body. Therefore, the correct answer is descending aorta, as the inferior vena cava accompanies it.Rate this question:

In the femoral triangle the femoral artery is bordered laterally by the ________muscle?
- A.
Sartorius
- B.
Adductor longus
- C.
Adductor magnus
- D.
Psoas major
Correct Answer
A. SartoriusExplanation
The correct answer is Sartorius. The femoral triangle is a region in the upper thigh where the femoral artery passes through. In this triangle, the femoral artery is bordered laterally by the Sartorius muscle. The Sartorius muscle is a long, strap-like muscle that runs diagonally across the front of the thigh. It helps to flex, abduct, and rotate the hip joint.Rate this question:

The femoral artery originates at a point behind center of the inguinal ligament and terminates at the opening in the______muscle?
- A.
Adductor magnus
- B.
Gastrocnemius
- C.
Adductor longus
- D.
Sartorius
Correct Answer
A. Adductor magnusExplanation
The femoral artery originates behind the center of the inguinal ligament and terminates at the opening in the adductor magnus muscle. The adductor magnus muscle is located in the thigh and is responsible for adducting the thigh, or bringing it closer to the midline of the body. This muscle is one of the main muscles in the inner thigh and plays a role in stabilizing the hip joint. Therefore, it makes sense that the femoral artery would terminate at the opening in this muscle, as it supplies blood to the structures in the thigh region.Rate this question:

Posterior tibial
Correct Answer
C. PoplitealExplanation
