1. Bone involved in the nasal septum?

Explanation

The bone involved in the nasal septum is the vomer. The vomer is a thin, flat bone that forms the lower part of the nasal septum, separating the left and right nasal cavities. It is located in the midline of the skull and helps to support the nasal passages and maintain their shape. The hyoid bone is not involved in the nasal septum, as it is a U-shaped bone located in the neck. The zygomatic arch is a bony arch that forms the prominence of the cheek, and the sphenoid bone is a complex bone located at the base of the skull.

5. Relatively fixed point of muscular attachment?

Explanation

The term "origin" refers to the relatively fixed point of muscular attachment. It is the point where the muscle attaches to a bone or a connective tissue structure that does not move during muscle contraction. The origin is typically located closer to the midline or proximal end of the body compared to the insertion point. In contrast, the insertion is the point where the muscle attaches to a bone or a connective tissue structure that moves during muscle contraction. The belly refers to the fleshy part of the muscle, while the aponeurosis is a flat, sheet-like tendon.

Submit
6. Which of the following arteries are: four sets of small arteries that arise off the Posterior Abdominal Aorta at the level of L-1 to L-4, with a Fifth set sometimes arising off the Middle Sacral Artery?

Explanation

The Lumbar Arteries are four sets of small arteries that arise off the Posterior Abdominal Aorta at the level of L-1 to L-4, with a Fifth set sometimes arising off the Middle Sacral Artery.

Submit

Left and Right Internal Carotid Arteries
Left and Right Anterior Cerebral Arteries
Left and Right Posterior Cerebral Arteries

8. Upon Autopsy the Pathologist inserted a probe into the Left Renal Vein and ran the probe wire downward, the probe impacted a blockage in the following vein , the blockage was causing edema in the scrotum of the patient. This Vein is the?

Explanation

The Gonadal Vein's (Spermatic and Ovarian) connect to the IVC (Inferior Vena Cava) on the Right, but on the "Left" drain into the Left Renal Vein !

Submit
9. Which vessel feeds the Right Facial Artery?

Explanation

The right external carotid artery feeds the right facial artery. The external carotid artery is a major blood vessel that supplies blood to the face and neck. It branches off from the common carotid artery and gives rise to several branches, including the facial artery. The facial artery then supplies blood to the structures of the face, including the muscles, skin, and other tissues. Therefore, the correct answer is the right external carotid artery.

Submit
10. Extends from the inferior border of the teres major muscle... ends 1 inch below the antecubital fossa?

Explanation

The brachial artery is the correct answer because it is the major blood vessel that extends from the inferior border of the teres major muscle and ends 1 inch below the antecubital fossa. The radial artery and ulnar artery are branches of the brachial artery, while the axillary artery and subclavian artery are located in different areas of the arm and shoulder.

Submit
11. Heart Valve at the beginning of the Ascending Aorta?

Explanation

The correct answer is Aortic Semi Lunar Valve. The Aortic Semi Lunar Valve is located at the beginning of the Ascending Aorta. It prevents the backflow of blood from the Aorta into the Left Ventricle during diastole.

Submit
12. Which of the following are paired bones? 

Explanation

The maxilla and temporal bones are paired bones in the human body. The maxilla is the upper jawbone, forming the central part of the facial skeleton, while the temporal bones are located on each side of the skull, near the temples. They house the middle and inner ear structures and also provide attachment points for various muscles involved in chewing and jaw movement.

Submit
13. Begins at a point at the lateral border of the first rib and extends to the inferior border of the tendon of the teres major muscle and is located  behind the medial border of the coracobrachialis muscle?

Explanation

The given description describes the location and boundaries of the right axillary artery. It begins at the lateral border of the first rib and extends to the inferior border of the tendon of the teres major muscle. It is located behind the medial border of the coracobrachialis muscle.

Submit
14. Forms at L5  With the Caval opening into the Thoracic cavity at T8?

Explanation

The correct answer is Inferior Vena Cava. The explanation for this is that the Inferior Vena Cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium of the heart. It forms at the level of the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) and enters the thoracic cavity at the level of the eighth thoracic vertebra (T8). This positioning allows it to receive blood from the lower extremities and abdominal organs and transport it back to the heart for oxygenation.

Submit
15. Begins at the level of the 2nd costal cartilage...ends at the superior border of the thyroid cartilage?

Explanation

The left common carotid artery is the correct answer because it is the only option that begins at the level of the 2nd costal cartilage and ends at the superior border of the thyroid cartilage. The other options do not match this description.

Submit
16. An Inferior branch of the subclavian arteries that provides an alternate (collateral) circulation to the legs?

Explanation

The Left and Right ITA (Mammary Arteries) are used in CABG Surgery (Coronary Artery Bypass and Graft) to go around the blockage!

Submit
17. The Three Arteries that arise from the Celiac Trunk are? 

Explanation

The three arteries that arise from the Celiac Trunk are the Common Hepatic Artery, the Splenic Artery, and the Left Gastric Artery.

Submit
18. The Azygos Vein draining the posterior aspect of the thoracic wall and the tissues of the esophagus on the right side of the body drains into what major vessel?

Explanation

The Azygos Vein drains the posterior aspect of the thoracic wall and the tissues of the esophagus on the right side of the body. It is a major tributary of the Superior Vena Cava (SVC), which is the large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium of the heart. Therefore, the correct answer is Superior Vena Cava (SVC).

Submit
19. What Vessel is the first "Superior" artery off the Right Subclavian artery after the bifurcation of the Brachiocephalic Trunk (Inominate Artery)?

Explanation

The right vertebral artery is the first "superior" artery off the right subclavian artery after the bifurcation of the brachiocephalic trunk. The vertebral artery runs through the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae and supplies blood to the brain and spinal cord. It is an important artery for the posterior circulation of the brain.

Submit
20. Branches of (Descending Aorta) Thoracic Aorta?

Explanation

** The Posterior Intercostal Arteries make connection (Anastamose) with the Anterior Intercostal Arteries which are ‘Fed” by the Internal Thoracic Arteries coming off both left and Right Subclavian Arteries.
(Visceral: refers to Organ structures)

(Parietal: refers to the walls of or a part of a structure)

(Somatic: relating to the wall of a structure)

Submit
21. Begins at 2nd right costal cartilage..ends at the upper border of the 2nd right sternoclavicular articulation.

Explanation

The correct answer is the Brachiocephalic Artery/Trunk (Inominate Artery). This artery begins at the 2nd right costal cartilage and ends at the upper border of the 2nd right sternoclavicular articulation.
