    Foramen Magnum is:

    • A large hole allowing passage of the spinal cord

    • A hole on the Temporal Bone

    • A landmark on the Sphenoid Bone

    • A superior and inferior line running laterally from the midline

    Correct Answer
    A. A large hole allowing passage of the spinal cord
    Explanation
    The foramen magnum is a large hole located at the base of the skull that allows for the passage of the spinal cord. It is the opening through which the spinal cord connects to the brain. This structure is crucial for the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, as it provides a pathway for the transmission of nerve signals.

    Infra-orbital foramen is on:

    • Maxilla

    • Zygoma

    • Palatine bone

    • Nasal Bone

    Correct Answer
    A. Maxilla
    Explanation
    The infra-orbital foramen is located on the maxilla bone. The maxilla is a facial bone that forms the upper jaw and contains the sockets for the upper teeth. The infra-orbital foramen is a small opening located below the eye socket, through which the infra-orbital nerve and blood vessels pass. This nerve provides sensation to the skin of the lower eyelid, upper lip, and part of the cheek. Therefore, the correct answer is Maxilla.

    The most fragile bone of the face is:

    • Lacrimal Bone

    • Palatine bone

    • Mandible

    • Maxilla

    Correct Answer
    A. Lacrimal Bone
    Explanation
    The lacrimal bone is the most fragile bone of the face because it is a small, thin bone located in the medial wall of the orbit (eye socket). It is responsible for housing the tear ducts and providing support to the eye. Due to its delicate structure and location, it is more prone to fractures and damage compared to the other bones of the face.
