10-The tibialis anterior muscle: a)    passes deep to both the superior and inferior extensor retinacula of the ankle joint. b)    has attachments to the fibula and the adjacent interosseous membrane. c)     Everts the foot. d)    is attached distally to the cuboid bone. 

11-The anterior fascial compartment of the leg contains the: a.     Superficial peroneal nerve b.    The peroneal artery c.     Extensor hallucis muscle d.    Peroneus brevis muscle e.     Flexor digitorum longus muscle f.      The sartorius muscle

12-Which of the following structures doesn’t pass lie deep to the inferior extensor retinaculum of the ankle? a.     . Tibialis anterior. b.     Extensor hallucis longus. c.     Peroneus tertius. d.     Peroneus brevis. 

13-A patient has stepped on a board with a long nail sticking up from it, and the nail penetrated the patient's foot between the bases of the first and second metatarsals. What artery is most likely injured at this location? a) arcuate b) 1st  plantar metatarsal. c) dorsalis pedis d) lateral plantar e) medial plantar

14-A construction worker lacerates the dorsum of his foot just below his ankle. Profuse bleeding that occurs would result from cutting which vessel? a) small saphenous vein b) dorsalis pedis artery c) medial plantar artery d) anterior tibial artery e) fibular artery

15-The pulsation of the dorsalis pedis artery is felt : a)     Anterior to the medial malleolus. b)     Posterior to the medial malleolus. c)     In line with the first interdigital space. d)     In front of lateral malleolus.

16-If a patient cannot stand on his heal, which nerve is not functioning? a.      tibial nerve b.     femoral nerve c.      medial plantar nerve d.     deep peroneal nerve e.      obturator nerve  

17-A misplaced intramuscular injection into the gluteal region infiltrated the sciatic nerve and its surroundings, giving rise to temporary paralysis of the muscles supplied by that nerve. All of the following would be involved EXCEPT for the: a) tibialis anterior b) soleus c) peroneus brevis d) gracilis e) popliteus      

18-A quick way to check the function a one of the nerves of the leg is to pinch the skin between the big toe and 2nd toe. Which nerve are you checking? a) deep peroneal b) lateral plantar c) sural d) saphenous e) superficial peroneal

23-In an accident involving farm machinery, a farmer recieves a cut on the dorsum of his ankle. As you inspect the wound and test for functional and sensory deficits, you find that no tendons have been cut, but the dorsalis pedis artery and the accompanying nerve have been cut. You would expect to find: a) club foot b) foot drop c) inability to extend the big toe d) numbness between the first and second toes e) weakness in inversion of the foot
