Question 1

All of the following are found in the surface anatomy of the shoulder EXCEPT ________.&#10;A) bony features of the scapula&#10;B) bony features of the clavicle&#10;C) biceps brachii&#10;D) deltoid muscle

Accepted Answer

Bony features of the scapula (such as the acromion and spine) and bony features of the clavicle (such as the sternal and acromial ends) are commonly palpable landmarks in the surface anatomy of the shoulder. The deltoid muscle is also visible and palpable in the shoulder region. The biceps brachii muscle is located in the arm and is not typically considered part of the surface anatomy of the shoulder.

Question 2

What muscle divides the neck into anterior cervical triangle and a posterior cervical triangle?&#10;A) sternomastoid&#10;B) digastric&#10;C) sternocleidomastoid&#10;D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

The sternocleidomastoid muscle divides the neck into anterior cervical triangle and a posterior cervical triangle.

Question 3

All of the following are visible on the anterior of the thigh EXCEPT ________.&#10;A) rectus femoris&#10;B) sartorius&#10;C) vastus lateralis&#10;D) gluteus maximus

Accepted Answer

Gluteus maximus is a muscle located on the posterior aspect of the hip and thigh, and is not visible on the anterior thigh. The other options are all visible on the anterior thigh.

Question 4

All of the following are found in the trunk region EXCEPT ________.&#10;A) thorax&#10;B) back&#10;C) neck&#10;D) abdominopelvic region

Accepted Answer

The trunk region includes the thorax, back, and abdominopelvic region, but does not include the neck. The neck is part of the cervical region.

Question 5

What marks the boundary between the neck and the thorax?&#10;A) cricoid cartilage&#10;B) suprasternal notch&#10;C) jugular notch&#10;D) clavicle

Accepted Answer

The answer of What marks the boundary between the neck...

Question 6

The study of anatomical landmarks on the body surface is called ________.&#10;A) internal anatomy&#10;B) microanatomy&#10;C) surface anatomy&#10;D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

Surface anatomy is the study of the external features of the body, including its shape, form, and composition, as well as the position and relationships of its internal structures. It involves the identification of anatomical landmarks on the surface of the body, such as bones, muscles, tendons, and other structures, to aid in diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. Internal anatomy refers to the study of the body's internal structure, while microanatomy is the study of the microscopic structure of tissues and organs.

Question 7

All of the following are found on the surface of the arm EXCEPT ________.&#10;A) biceps brachii&#10;B) brachialis&#10;C) sternocleidomastoid&#10;D) triceps brachii

Accepted Answer

The sternocleidomastoid is a muscle of the neck and not located on the surface of the arm. The other options, biceps brachii, brachialis, and triceps brachii, are all muscles found on the surface of the arm.

Question 8

All of the following are subdivisions of the anterior cervical triangle EXCEPT ________.&#10;A) suprahyoid triangle&#10;B) superior carotid triangle&#10;C) submandibular triangle&#10;D) medial carotid triangle

Accepted Answer

The subdivisions of the anterior cervical triangle are the suprahyoid triangle, submandibular triangle, and superior carotid triangle. The medial carotid triangle is not a recognized subdivision.

Question 9

Which muscle can be seen on the lateral thigh?&#10;A) vastus medialis&#10;B) rectus femoris&#10;C) adductor muscles&#10;D) iliotibial muscle

Accepted Answer

The iliotibial muscle is a long and thick muscle that runs down the lateral (outer) side of the thigh, making it visible from the side. The vastus medialis, rectus femoris, and adductor muscles are located on the anterior (front) and medial (inner) side of the thigh, respectively, and are not visible from a lateral view.
