NBCE Boards Part 1 - General Anatomy
1. The dorsal root ganglion C. Neural Crest
is derived from which of
the following? Note: Amongst the other neural tissues. Nervous tissue away from the
center. So DRG, meninges, sympathetic ganglions, etc. Things are not
A. Surface Ectoderm quite central.
B. Neural Tube
C. Neural Crest
D. Lateral Plate
2. Which of the following D. Genioglossus (most correct because the protrusion is the opposite
muscles does NOT re- of retraction)
tract the tongue?
Note:
A. Palatoglossus - Think about where your styloid process and hyoid bones are in
B. Styloglossus relation to your tongue. Responsible for pulling it back and these
C. Hyoglossus structures are posterior to the tongue.
D. Genioglossus
Palatoglossus: lift back of the tongue, CNX
Styloglossus: retract
Hyoglossus: retract
Genioglossus: protrusion
3. Which of the following is D. Glottis
utilized for voice produc-
tion? Note:
- Mainly responsible for voice production
A. Epiglottis - Think of "Gladys" Knight, shes a singer.
, NBCE Boards Part 1 - General Anatomy
B. Thyroid Cartilage
C. Cricoid Cartilage
D. Glottis
4. Which of the following B. Pulmonary Arteries
blood vessels carry de-
oxygenated blood? Note:
- Pulmonary Veins carry blood away from the lungs because they are
A. Pulmonary veins already oxygenated
B. Pulmonary arteries - There are (2) arteries in humans that carry deoxygenated blood:
C. Left coronary Pulmonary Arteries & Umbilical Arteries
D. Right Coronary
5. Which pancreatic cells C. Delta
are responsible for the
production of somato- Note:
statin? - Alpha Cels- Glucagon
- Delta Cells- Somatostatin
A. Alpha - *No such thing as Theta Cells
B. Beta
C. Delta
D. Theta

6. Where in the body are D. Pancreas
trypsinogen and chy-
motrypsin produced?
A. Stomach
B. Duodenum
C. Liver
D. Pancreas
7. Where are the internal B. Uterus
and external Os locat-
ed? Note:
Located at the cervix. The uterus is the only thing that makes sense
A. Urinary Bladder because it is closest to the cervix.
B. Uterus
C. Kidney
D. Prostate
8. Which of the following C. Round ligament
attaches the uterus to
the labia majora? Note:
- Suspensory ligament = attaches the ovary to the abdominal wall.
A. Broad Ligament Think when you are "suspended" to something, you are attached.
B. Mesometrium - Broad ligament holds the uterus in its normal position, maintains the
C. Round Ligament relationship of the fallopian tubes to the ovaries and the uterus
D. Suspensory Ligament Think "Got to keep that broad in check"(keep her together)
- Mesometrium constitutes the majority of the broad ligament of the
uterus, excluding only the portions adjacent to the uterine tube (the
mesosalpinx) and ovary (the mesovarium).

performed if there is a
lesion of the Obturator Note:
N.? - Obturator N. is located on the medial aspect, when we adduct, we are
moving L-M
A. Flexion
B. Extension - Flexion: Psoas mm./ Femoral N.
