4. What is B?

Explanation

Chordae tendineae are fibrous cords that connect the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid valves) to the papillary muscles in the heart. They play a crucial role in preventing the valves from inverting or prolapsing during ventricular contraction, ensuring proper blood flow through the heart. This explanation provides information about chordae tendineae and their function, without explicitly stating that it is the correct answer.

Submit
5. I?

Explanation

The basilar artery is the correct answer because it is one of the main arteries that supplies blood to the brain. It is formed by the fusion of the two vertebral arteries, which run along the spine and enter the skull through the foramen magnum. The basilar artery then travels upwards along the midline of the brainstem, supplying blood to various structures in the brain. The other options listed are not as relevant to the blood supply of the brain.

Submit
6. What is B?

Explanation

The correct answer is the right pulmonary artery. The right pulmonary artery is a blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the right lung. It branches off from the pulmonary trunk and delivers blood to the right lung, where it is oxygenated. The left pulmonary artery performs a similar function but delivers blood to the left lung. The right pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the right lung back to the heart. The ligamentum arteriosum is a remnant of a fetal blood vessel and does not play a role in pulmonary circulation.

Explanation

The correct answer is the Posterior interventricular artery. The posterior interventricular artery is a branch of the right coronary artery and it runs in the posterior interventricular sulcus, supplying the posterior part of the interventricular septum and the posterior walls of both ventricles. It is an important artery for the blood supply to the heart muscle.

Submit
18. What is C?

Explanation

The papillary muscle is a small muscle located in the walls of the ventricles of the heart. Its main function is to anchor the chordae tendineae, which are thin fibrous cords, to the valves of the heart. Specifically, the papillary muscles attach to the mitral valve (also known as the bicuspid valve) and the tricuspid valve. When the ventricles contract, the papillary muscles contract as well, pulling on the chordae tendineae and preventing the valves from being forced open in the wrong direction. Therefore, the papillary muscle is the correct answer in this case.

It is located in the subclavian region, which is below the clavicle and above the axilla. The right common jugular vein drains blood from the head and neck, not the upper limb. The right axillary vein drains blood from the armpit and upper arm, not the upper limb. The right brachiocephalic vein is a large vein that is formed by the union of the right subclavian and right internal jugular veins, so it is not the correct answer.

Submit
20. F?

Explanation

The superior vena cava is the correct answer because it is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium of the heart. It is located in the upper chest and receives blood from the head, neck, arms, and upper chest through various veins. The other options mentioned (right brachiocephalic trunk, right brachiocephalic vein, right brachiocephalic artery) are not correct because they do not play a major role in carrying blood to the heart or are not anatomically accurate.

Submit
21. What is D?

Explanation

The correct answer is Ligamentum arteriosum. The ligamentum arteriosum is a small, fibrous band that connects the pulmonary trunk to the aorta in the fetal heart. It is a remnant of a fetal blood vessel called the ductus arteriosus, which shunts blood away from the lungs during fetal development. After birth, the ductus arteriosus closes and becomes the ligamentum arteriosum. This structure has no physiological function in the adult heart.

Submit
22. What is D?

Explanation

Trabeculae carneae refers to the muscular ridges and columns found on the inner surface of the ventricles of the heart. These structures help to prevent the walls of the ventricles from sticking together during contraction and aid in the proper flow of blood. Chordae tendineae are fibrous cords that attach the cusps of the heart valves to the papillary muscles, preventing the valves from inverting. Auricles are small, ear-like projections on the atria that increase the surface area for blood storage. Pectinate muscles are muscular ridges found on the inner wall of the atria.
