ANATOMY LE1 Reviewer Flashcards
T or F: The muscles of facial expression commonly has dermal insertions and bony origins
True
T or F: ANATOMICAL POSITIONS: The palms are facing back
False. They face forward.
T or F: ANS: Functionally, the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions are antagonistic.
True. They are agonists, synergists and they also may work independently.
A 30-year old woman underwent elective thyroid surgery and was noted to have hoarseness post-operatively.
T or F: Injury to the external laryngeal nerve during the thyroid surgery may result in a higher pitch of voice.
False. It will result in a lower pitched voice.
Snell 9th Ed: “Superior laryngeal nerve divides into the internal and external laryngeal nerves. The internal laryngeal nerve is sensory to the mucous membrane of the piriform fossa and the larynx down as far as the vocal cords. The external laryngeal nerve is motor and is located close to the superior thyroid artery; it supplies the cricothyroid muscle.”
Which facial muscle helps with smiling?
Zygomaticus Major
T or F: NEUROVASCULAR SUPPLY OF THE FACE: The facial artery originated from the external carotid artery
True. It is a branch of the external carotid artery that supplies the anatomic structures of the superficial face.
A 16-year old female started to develop umbilical pain which later radiates to the lower area of the abdomen. What dermatomal level is responsible to the umbilical pain?
T10
Snell 9th Ed:
- Xiphoid process: T7
- Umbilicus: T10
- Pubis: L1
T or F: A 25-year old male was brought to the ER with a stab wound located anterior to the sternocleidomastoid at the level of the superior border of the thyroid cartilage. Statement regarding the vascular structures that may have been injured in this case: The common carotid artery supplies the viscera found in the anterior neck.
False. The common carotid arteries itself do not supply blood to the body, but its branches supply the head and neck regions from the external and internal carotid arteries.
The carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is an example of which type of joint?
Saddle
T or F: A 25-year-old male was brought to the emergency room with a stab wound located anterior to the sternocleidomastoid at the level of the superior border of the thyroid cartilage. Statement regarding the vascular structures that may have been injured in this case: The right common carotid artery commences behind the right sternoclavicular joint.
True. The right common carotid artery arises from the brachiocephalic artery behind the right sternoclavicular joint.
The term that is exclusively used for veins
Tributaries
A stab wound in the neck that reached the carotid sheath will most likely injure all of the following EXCEPT:
A. Internal carotid arteries
B. External carotid artery
C. Internal jugular vein
D. Vagus nerve
B. External carotid artery
Snell 9th Ed: “The carotid sheath is a local condensation of the prevertebral, the pretracheal, and the investing layers of the deep fascia that surround the common and internal carotid arteries, the internal jugular vein, the vagus nerve, and the deep cervical lymph nodes.”
T or F: ANATOMICAL POSITION: The toes are pointing anteriorly.
True. Toes are pointing forward.
T or F: DIRECTIONAL TERMS: The parasagittal plane divides the body into equal left and right halves.
False. A parasagittal cut is NOT through the midline but parallel to the midsagittal plane (UNEQUAL cut)
T or F: SCALP: Bacteria from an infected sebaceous cyst may spread intracranially.
True.
Snell 9th Ed: “A sebaceous cyst is caused by obstruction of the mouth of a sebaceous duct and may be caused by damage from a comb or by infection. It occurs most frequently on the scalp.”
T or F: AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM: The 1st order neuron of the sympathetic nervous system is the lateral horn of the spinal cords.
True.
T or F: ANATOMICAL POSITION: The arms are in front.
False. Arms are at the sides.
Which of the following is drained by the right lymphatic duct?
A. Right upper extremities
B: Left upper extremities
C: Right lower extremities
D: Left lower extremities
A. Right upper extremities
Which of these vascular structures pass through the foramen spinosum?
A. Anterior and posterior spinal arteries
B. Mandibular nerve
C. Lesser superficial petrosal nerve
D. Middle Meningeal Artery
D. Middle Meningeal Artery
The facial bones are classified under which type of bones?
Irregular
What forms the retromandibular vein?
Superficial temporal vein and maxillary vein
T or F: Invasive tumors of the parotid gland may result in facial paralysis of the affected side
True.
Snell 9th. Ed: “The parotid salivary gland consists essentially of superficial and deep parts, and the important facial nerve lies in the inter- val between these parts. A benign parotid neoplasm rarely, if ever, causes facial palsy. A malignant tumor of the parotid is usually highly invasive and quickly involves the facial nerve, causing unilateral facial paralysis.”
T or F: AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM: It is an involuntary sensory control of the smooth & cardiac muscles including glands.
False. Motor control.
Which cranial fossa might be injured in patients presenting with anosmia?
Anterior
Snell 9th Ed: “The olfactory nerve can be tested by applying substances with different odors to each nostril in turn. It should be remembered that food flavors depend on the sense of smell and not on the sense of taste. Fractures of the anterior cranial fossa or cerebral tumors of the frontal lobes may produce lesions of the olfactory nerves, with consequent loss of the sense of smell (anosmia).”
T or F: A 30-year-old female underwent elective thyroid surgery and was noted to have hoarseness post-operatively. The thyroid gland is supplied by two arteries and drained by three veins.
False.
Snell 9th Ed: “The arteries to the thyroid gland are the superior thyroid artery, the inferior thyroid artery, and sometimes the thyroidea ima. The arteries anastomose profusely with one another over the surface of the gland.”
T or F: AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM: The blood vessels and sweat glands are innervated by both divisions of the autonomic nervous system
False. The sympathetic NS supplies the visceral structures in the superficial
regions of the body: sweat gland, arrector pili, muscles of the skin, smooth musculature of walls of all arteries and veins
Which infrahyoid muscle is innervated by the 1st cervical nerve?
Thyrohyoid
T or F: DIRECTIONAL TERMS: The little finger is laterally located while the thumb is medial
False. The little finger is medial to the thumb
What is a tributary of the retromandibular vein?
Superficial temporal, maxillary, Posterior auricular
T or F: A 30-year-old female underwent elective thyroid surgery and was noted to have hoarseness post-operatively. Autonomic innervation of the thyroid gland is from the cervical sympathetic ganglia.
True. The nerve supply of the thyroid gland include the Superior, middle, and inferior cervical sympathetic ganglia
T or F: NEUROVASCULAR SUPPLY OF THE FACE: The deepest neurovascular structure in the parotid gland is the facial nerve.
False. It is the external carotid artery and its 3 branches (posterior
auricular, maxillary, and superficial temporal)
T or F: SCALP: Lacerations involving the galea aponeurotica will result in gaping wounds.
True
What component fiber does the olfactory nerve carry?
Special visceral afferents (SVA)
The sternocleidomastoid muscle forms the posterior border of which triangle of the neck?
Carotid
T or F: DIRECTIONAL TERMS: The coronal plane divides the body into an anterior and posterior parts.
True
