- C.
Stylomandibular Ligament
- D.
Pterygomandibular Ligament
Correct Answer
C. Stylomandibular LigamentExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Styloid Process
- B.
Zygomatic Process of Temporal Bone
- C.
Temporal Process of Zygomatic Bone
- D.
Mastoid Process
Correct Answer
D. Mastoid ProcessExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Name the Muscle (19-with the yellow circle)
- A.
Depressor Labii Inferioris Muscle
- B.
Depressor Anguli Oris Muscle
- C.
Part of Masseter Muscle
- D.
Mentalis Muscle
Correct Answer
B. Depressor Anguli Oris MuscleExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Buccinator Muscle
- B.
Orbicularis Oculi Muscle
- C.
Orbicularis Oris Muscle
- D.
Risorius
Correct Answer
A. Buccinator MuscleExplanation
The correct answer is Buccinator Muscle. The Buccinator Muscle is located in the cheek and is responsible for compressing the cheeks inward during activities such as blowing air or sucking. It also helps in keeping food in contact with the teeth during chewing.Rate this question:

Supratrochlear Vein
- B.
Supraorbital Vein
- C.
Anterior Facial Vei
- D.
Nasal Artery
Correct Answer
A. Supratrochlear VeinExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Name The Nerve supply this part of the scalp (margined with the yellow line )
- A.
Great Auricular Nerve
- B.
Supraclavicular Nerve
- C.
Greater Occipital Nerve
- D.
Lesser Occipital Nerve
Correct Answer
C. Greater Occipital NerveExplanation
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.Rate this question:

This artery pass through (10- with the yellow circle )
- A.
Foramen rotundum
- B.
Pterygomaxillary fissure
- C.
Foramen cecum
- D.
Foramen spinosum
Correct Answer
B. Pterygomaxillary fissureExplanation
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.Rate this question:

- A.
Deep auricular artery
- B.
Middle meningeal artery

Name this foramen (with the yellow circle )
- A.
Foramen ovale
- B.
Foramen rotundum
- C.
Foramen spinosum
- D.
Emissary sphenoidale foramen
Correct Answer
B. Foramen rotundumExplanation
The correct answer is Foramen rotundum. This is a small hole located in the sphenoid bone of the skull. It is part of the middle cranial fossa and serves as a passageway for the maxillary nerve, which is a branch of the trigeminal nerve. The maxillary nerve carries sensory information from the face, including the upper teeth, gums, and palate.Rate this question:

One of the following structures don't pass through this foramen (with the red circle )
- A.
internal jugular vein
- B.
Cranial nerve IX
- C.
Cranial nerve X
- D.
Internal carotid artery
Correct Answer
D. Internal carotid arteryExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Name this part of the Bone (H- with the red circle )
- A.
External occipital protuberance
- B.
Cruciform eminence
- C.
Occipital condyle
- D.
Internal occipital protuberance.
Correct Answer
C. Occipital condyleExplanation
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.Rate this question:
