    Name The Nerve supply this part of the scalp  (margined with  the yellow  line ) - ProProfs

    Name The Nerve supply this part of the scalp  (margined with  the yellow  line )

    • Great Auricular Nerve

    • Supraclavicular Nerve

    • Greater Occipital Nerve

    • Lesser Occipital Nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Greater Occipital Nerve
    Explanation
    The greater occipital nerve is the correct answer for the nerve supply to the part of the scalp marked with the yellow line. The greater occipital nerve is a sensory nerve that provides innervation to the posterior part of the scalp, including the occipital region. It arises from the dorsal rami of the second and third cervical spinal nerves and runs along the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. It then pierces the trapezius muscle and ascends to supply the scalp.

    • Nasalis Muscle (Transverse Part)

    • Masseter Muscle

    Correct Answer
    A. Zygomaticus Minor Muscle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Zygomaticus Minor Muscle. The Zygomaticus Minor Muscle is located in the face and is responsible for elevating the upper lip and pulling it laterally, contributing to smiling. It is a smaller muscle compared to the Zygomaticus Major Muscle, which is also involved in smiling but is larger in size. The Nasalis Muscle and Masseter Muscle are not located in the same area as indicated by the yellow circle.

    • Superior Thyroid Artery

    • Superficial Temporal Artery

    • Occipital artery

    • Posterior auricular artery

    Correct Answer
    A. Superficial Temporal Artery
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Superficial Temporal Artery. This artery is named as such because it is located superficially (close to the surface) and runs in the temporal region of the head. It is responsible for supplying blood to the scalp and certain muscles of the face. The yellow circle in the image indicates the location of this artery.

    • External occipital protuberance

    • Cruciform eminence

    • Occipital condyle

    • Internal occipital protuberance.

    Correct Answer
    A. Occipital condyle
    Explanation
    The occipital condyle is the correct answer because it is the rounded projection on the base of the occipital bone that articulates with the first cervical vertebra (atlas), allowing for the movement of the head. The other options, such as the external occipital protuberance and internal occipital protuberance, are different anatomical features on the occipital bone, while the cruciform eminence is a feature on the ethmoid bone.

    • Middle Scalene Muscle

    • Anterior Scalene Muscle

    • Longus Coli Muscl

    Correct Answer
    A. Anterior Scalene Muscle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Anterior Scalene Muscle. This muscle is located in the neck and is one of the scalene muscles. It originates from the transverse processes of the third to sixth cervical vertebrae and inserts onto the first rib. Its main function is to elevate the first rib during inspiration and assist in flexing the neck to the same side.

    • Zygomatic Process of Temporal Bone

    • Temporal Process of Zygomatic Bone

    • Mastoid Process

    Correct Answer
    A. Mastoid Process
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Mastoid Process. The mastoid process is a bony prominence located behind the ear. It is part of the temporal bone and serves as an attachment point for various muscles of the neck. It also contains air cells that are connected to the middle ear, helping to regulate pressure. The mastoid process plays a role in hearing and balance, as well as providing protection to the delicate structures within the ear.

    • Part of Masseter Muscle

    • Mentalis Muscle

    Correct Answer
    A. Depressor Anguli Oris Muscle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Depressor Anguli Oris Muscle. This muscle is responsible for depressing the corner of the mouth, causing a frowning expression. It is located near the angle of the mouth and helps control facial expressions and movements.

    • Anterior Facial Vei

    • Nasal Artery

    Correct Answer
    A. Supratrochlear Vein
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Supratrochlear Vein. The Supratrochlear Vein is located above the trochlea, which is a bony structure in the eye socket. It is responsible for draining blood from the forehead and scalp.

    • Sphenomandibular Ligament

    • Stylohyoid Ligament

    • Stylomandibular Ligament

    • Pterygomandibular Ligament

    Correct Answer
    A. Stylomandibular Ligament
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Stylomandibular Ligament. This ligament is located in the jaw joint area and connects the styloid process of the temporal bone to the angle of the mandible. It helps to stabilize the jaw joint and limit excessive movement. The other options listed are different ligaments in the jaw area, but only the Stylomandibular Ligament matches the location described in the question.

    • Foramen rotundum

    • Pterygomaxillary fissure

    • Foramen cecum

    • Foramen spinosum

    Correct Answer
    A. Pterygomaxillary fissure
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Pterygomaxillary fissure. This is because the pterygomaxillary fissure is an anatomical structure that allows the passage of several important structures, including the maxillary artery. The maxillary artery is a major blood vessel that supplies the deep structures of the face, including the muscles of mastication and the oral cavity. Therefore, the maxillary artery passes through the pterygomaxillary fissure.

    • Cranial nerve X

    • Internal carotid artery

    Correct Answer
    A. Internal carotid artery
    Explanation
    The internal carotid artery does not pass through the foramen indicated by the red circle. The internal jugular vein, cranial nerve IX, and cranial nerve X may pass through this foramen, but the internal carotid artery does not.
