    Relatively fixed point of muscular attachment?

    • Insertion

    • Origin

    • Belly

    • Aponeurosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Origin
    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.

    • Axillary Artery

    • Subclavian Artery

    Correct Answer
    A. Brachial Artery
    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.

    • The Right Mandibular Artery

    Correct Answer
    A. The Right External Carotid 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.

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

    • Inferior Vena Cava

    • Superior Vena Cava

    • Hemiazygos Vein

    • Posterior Intercostal Veins

    Correct Answer
    A. Inferior Vena Cava
    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.

    • Right Subclavian Vein

    • Right Internal Thoracic Vein

    Correct Answer
    A. Superior Vena Cava (SVC)
    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).

    • The Right Common Carotid Artery

    • The Right Inferior Mammary Artery / Right Internal Thoracic Artery

    • The Right Axillary Artery

    Correct Answer
    A. The Right Vertebral Artery
    Explanation
    The right vertebral artery is the first "superior" artery off the right subclavian artery after the bifurcation of the brachiocephalic trunk.
