Chapter 01 Thorax
Multiple Choice
1. Which of the following is true pertaining to the tension (Langer) lines of the skin?
A) Surgical incisions should be made parallel to these lines to minimize scaring.
B) Surgical incisions should avoid cutting through these lines because they contain
neurovascular bundles.
C) Surgical incisions should avoid cutting through these lines because they indicate the position
of the underlying skin ligaments (retinacula cutis).
D) They become stretch marks (striae gravidarum) in obese individuals.
E) They separate fascial compartments.
Ans: A
2. Upon examining a radiograph of a skull, you notice an extra bone within the sagittal suture.
Your immediate reaction is to:
A) dismiss the finding because there are often small sutural (wormian) bones within skull
sutures that have no clinical significance.
B) request a head CT because these bones often develop after head injuries and can be
associated with seizures.
C) assume that your patient had a vitamin D deficiency during childhood.
D) assume that your patient had a fontanelle that remained open beyond the normal period.
E) assume that your patient has a minor case of hydrocephalus.
Ans: A
3. Which of the following is incorrect pertaining to joints?
A) They receive blood from vessels surrounding the joint.
B) Most articular nerves are branches of the nerves to the muscles that cross the joint.
C) Loss of nerve supply results in avascular necrosis of the joint.
D) Some joints do not permit any movement.
E) Joint nerves transmit proprioceptive information.

Ans: C
4. A motor unit:
A) contains fewer muscle fibers in muscles that perform precise movements compared to those
that perform gross movements.
B) refers to all the nerves that innervate a muscle.
C) refers to all the muscles that perform a single movement at a joint (e.g., synergistic muscles
at the elbow).
D) refers to all the fibers entering a dorsal root (spinal) ganglion at a particular spinal level.

Ans: A
5. A coronal knife cut through the head could potentially:

Ans: B
6. Circumduction is a combination of which of the following movements?
A) flexion and extension
B) flexion and rotation
C) flexion, extension, adduction, abduction
D) abduction, adduction, medial rotation, lateral rotation
E) flexion, extension, medial rotation, lateral rotation
Ans: C
7. Which of the following is incorrect pertaining to a fracture of a bone?
A) The fracture should be “reduced” to heal properly.
B) A collar of bone (callus) forms to hold the bones together while healing.

C) Greenstick fractures are most common in the elderly.
D) Osteoporotic bones break more easily than normal bones.

Ans: C
8. Fusion of the diaphysis with the epiphysis:

Ans: A
9. Osteoarthritis:
A) develops from osteoporosis.
B) is associated with a loss of articular cartilage.
C) primarily affects non-weight bearing joints.
D) is associated with a reduction in vascular supply to a joint.
E) results in joints that are hypermobile.
Ans: B
10. Which of the following associations is incorrect?
A) saddle joint—carpometacarpal joint of the thumb
B) condyloid joint—permit circumduction
C) ball and socket joint—hip joint
D) plane joint—acromioclavicular joint
E) pivot joint—biaxial joint

A) repetitive strenuous exercise—hypertrophy of skeletal muscle
B) smooth muscle in uterus during pregnancy—hyperplasia of muscle cells
C) testing of muscle activity—electromyography
D) cardiac muscle—regenerates after a heart attack
E) muscle testing—diagnosis of nerve injury
Ans: D
12. A concentric muscle contraction:
A) occurs when a muscle exerts a force and lengthens.
B) is an isometric contraction.
C) occurs when a muscle exerts a force and shortens.
D) only occurs in limb muscles.
