A 78-year-old woman receives knee surgery because her lateral meniscus is torn.
Before injury, the normal lateral meniscus of the knee joint:
A) Is C-shaped or forms a semicircle
B) Is attached to the fibular collateral ligament
C) Is larger than the medial meniscus
D) Lies outside the synovial cavity
E) Is more frequently torn in injuries than the medial meniscus
Give this one a try later!
, D) Lateral meniscus lies outside synovial joint but within the joint cavity
- LM is nearly circular where MM is C-shaped
- LM is smaller and less frequently torn then MM
- LM separated from FCL by tendon of popliteal muscle where MM
attaches to TCL
A farmer falls on tractor blades and injures his groin - several days later he comes to
the ER and the urogenital diaphragm and bulbourethral glands are infected. The
infected deep perineal space:
A) Is formed by perineal membrane
B) Is formed by Colle's fascia
C) Contains a segment of the dorsal nerve of the penis
D) Contains superficial transverse perineal muscles
E) Cotains the greater vestibular glands
Give this one a try later!
C) Deep perineal space contains a segment of the dorsal nerve of the
penis in males
- its bounded by superior fascia and inferior fascia (of perineal membrane)
A neonate is brought to the pediatrician with headaches, fevers, and change in mental
status, mostly manifests as lethargy and lack of appetite. The baby is to undergo a
diagnostic lumbar puncture - when withdrawing CSF, the needle may penetrate which
of the following pairs of structures?
A) Dura mater and denticulate ligament
B) Arachnoid mater and pia mater
C) Dura mater and arachnoid mater
D) Anulus fibrosus and pia mater
E) Arachnoid mater and nucleus pulposus
Give this one a try later!
, C) To obtain CSF contained in subarachnoid space, the needle should
penetrate the dura mater and arachnoid mater
- denticulate ligament, pia mater, anulus fibrosus, and nucleus pulposus
should not be penetrated
An elderly women suddenly collapses to the ground and is found to have a massive
stroke, but it is unclear where the vascular lesion is located so she undergoes cerebral
arteriogram. Normally, the great cerebral vein of Galen drains into which of the
following sinuses?
A) Superior sagittal sinus
B) Inferior sagittal sinus
C) Cavernous sinus
D) Transverse sinus
E) Straight sinus
Give this one a try later!
E) Great cerebral vein of Galen and the inferior sagittal sinus unite to form
the straight sinus
A gynecologic oncologists explains his rationale for using chemotherapy and radiate
after surgical resection because carcinoma of the uterus can spread directly to the
labia majus through lymphatics that follow the:
A) Ovarian ligament
B) Suspensory ligament of the ovary
C) Round ligament of the uterus
D) Uterosacral ligaments
E) Pubocervical ligaments
Give this one a try later!
, C) Carcinoma of the uterus can spread directly to the labium majus
through the lymphatics that follow the round ligament - extends from
uterus, enters inguinal canal at deep inguinal ring, emerges from
superficial inguinal ring, and merges with the subcutaneous tissue of
labium majus
A patient comes into the ER who has blunt trauma to his chest and undergoes
extensive vascular studies to determine which blood vessels are still intact. The
radiologist recalls that which of the following veins drains directly into the SVC, which
one?
A) Internal thoracic vein
B) Azygous vein
D) Hemiazygous vein
D) Right superior intercostal vein
E) Left superior intercostal vein
Give this one a try later!
B) Azygoys vein receives the hemiazygous and accessory hemiazygous
veins and drains into SVC
A 27-yr old man is known to have infection in the superior petrosal sinus. The infected
sinus lies in the margin of which of the following:
A) Tentorium cerebelli
B) Falx cerebri
B) Falx cerebelli
D) Diaphragma sellae
E) Straight sinus
