Which cranial nerves innervate the face?
a. II and V
b. III and VI
c. V and VII
d. VIII and IX
e. I and VII - ANSWER:ANS: C
Facial nerves are controlled by cranial nerves V and VII, cranial nerve I involves smell,
cranial nerves II, III, and VI control the eyes, cranial nerve VIII deals with hearing, and
cranial nerve IX deals with swallowing.
The trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles and the clavicle form a landmark
called the triangle.
a. anterior
b. posterior
c. lateral
d. medial
e. ventral - ANSWER:ANS: B
Anatomically, these landmarks comprise what is referred to as the posterior triangle,
which includes the posterior cervical lymph nodes. The anterior triangle is adjacent
to the posterior triangle, formed by the medial borders of the sternocleidomastoid
muscles and the mandible. The relationship of neck muscles to each other and to
adjacent bones creates the anatomic landmarks known as triangles.
The medial border of the sternocleidomastoid muscles and the mandible form the
triangle.
a. dorsal
b. posterior
c. lateral
d. medial
e. anterior - ANSWER:ANS: E
The anterior triangle is adjacent to the posterior triangle, formed by the medial
borders of the sternocleidomastoid muscles and the mandible. The trapezius,
sternocleidomastoid muscles, and clavicle form the posterior triangle. The
relationship of neck muscles to each other and to adjacent bones creates the
anatomic landmarks known as triangles.
The largest endocrine gland in the body lies in the triangle.
, a. anterior
b. posterior
c. lateral
d. medial
e. ventral - ANSWER:ANS: A
The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland and lies in the anterior triangle. The
posterior triangle does contain cervical lymph nodes, and the lateral and medial
triangles are not anatomic landmarks
Which structures disproportionately enlarge in males during adolescence?
a. Coronal sutures
b. Hyoid and cricoid cartilages
c. Mandible and maxilla bones
d. Nose and thyroid cartilages
e. Mastoid processes and ears - ANSWER:ANS: D
In adolescent males, the nose enlarges, and the thyroid cartilage becomes the
largest component of the anterior larynx, known as the Adam's apple.
When examining the skull of a 4-month-old baby, you should normally find:
a. closure of the anterior fontanel.
b. closure of the posterior fontanel.
c. ossification of the all sutures.
d. overlap of the cranial bones.
e. closure of the sagittal and coronal sutures - ANSWER:ANS: B
At 2 months of age, the posterior fontanels should be closed or ossified with the
anterior fontanels, a larger fontanel, closing at 12 to 15 months. The only time the
cranial bones should overlap is during a vaginal birth as a result of pressure within
the birth canal. Ossification of the sutures begins after completion of brain growth,
at about 6 years of age, and is finished by adulthood.
The thyroid gland is partially obscured by the:
a. cricoid cartilage.
b. carotid artery.
c. external jugular.
d. sternocleidomastoid.
e. hyoid bone. - ANSWER:ANS: D
The thyroid sits just below the cricoid, an anatomic landmark for location of the
thyroid; the lobes curve are somewhat hidden by the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
The brown or tan pigmentation on the forehead, nose, and malar prominence of
some pregnant women is called:
a. hormonal acne.
b. erythema.
