1Which structure passes through the foramen ovale of the sphenoid bone?
A.Mandibular nerve (V3)
B.Maxillary nerve (V2)
C.Ophthalmic nerve (V1)
D.Internal carotid artery
Explanation: The foramen ovale transmits the mandibular division (V3) of the trigeminal nerve, the accessory meningeal artery and the lesser petrosal nerve. Mnemonic 'MALE' — Mandibular nerve, Accessory meningeal artery, Lesser petrosal nerve, Emissary veins.
2The right coronary artery typically supplies the SA node in what percentage of the population?
A.About 60%
B.About 30%
C.About 90%
D.About 10%
Explanation: In approximately 60% of individuals the SA nodal artery arises from the right coronary artery (right-dominant supply to the SA node); in about 40% it arises from the left circumflex artery. This is distinct from coronary dominance (defined by the PDA), where ~85% are right-dominant.
3Which embryological structure gives rise to the muscles of mastication?
A.First pharyngeal arch
B.Second pharyngeal arch
C.Third pharyngeal arch
D.Fourth pharyngeal arch
Explanation: The first pharyngeal (mandibular) arch gives rise to the muscles of mastication — masseter, temporalis, medial and lateral pterygoids — plus the anterior belly of digastric, mylohyoid, tensor tympani and tensor veli palatini. The nerve of the first arch is the mandibular division of the trigeminal (V3).
4The thoracic duct opens into which venous structure?
A.Junction of left subclavian and left internal jugular vein
B.Junction of right subclavian and right internal jugular vein
C.Left brachiocephalic vein at the sternal angle
D.Superior vena cava directly
Explanation: The thoracic duct ascends through the posterior mediastinum and drains lymph from the entire body below the diaphragm and the left half of the body above it into the venous angle formed by the union of the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins.
5Injury to which nerve causes 'wrist drop'?
A.Radial nerve
B.Median nerve
C.Ulnar nerve
D.Axillary nerve
Explanation: Wrist drop results from paralysis of the extensor compartment of the forearm, which is supplied by the radial nerve. Classic causes include mid-shaft humerus fracture (radial groove), Saturday-night palsy (prolonged arm compression) and crutch palsy.
6Which fissure separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes?
A.Lateral (Sylvian) fissure
B.Central (Rolandic) sulcus
C.Parieto-occipital sulcus
D.Calcarine sulcus
Explanation: The lateral (Sylvian) fissure runs along the lateral surface of each cerebral hemisphere and separates the temporal lobe inferiorly from the frontal and parietal lobes superiorly. The insular cortex lies deep within this fissure.
7Meckel's diverticulum is a remnant of which embryological structure?
A.Vitellointestinal (omphalomesenteric) duct
B.Allantois
C.Urachus
D.Ductus venosus
Explanation: Meckel's diverticulum is a persistence of the proximal vitellointestinal (omphalomesenteric) duct, found on the antimesenteric border of the ileum. The classic 'rule of 2s' applies: 2% population, within 2 feet of ileocaecal valve, 2 inches long, 2 types of ectopic mucosa (gastric and pancreatic), often presents before age 2.
8Which cell of the gastric mucosa secretes intrinsic factor?
A.Parietal (oxyntic) cell
B.Chief cell
C.G cell
D.Mucous neck cell
Explanation: Parietal (oxyntic) cells of the gastric body and fundus secrete both hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor binds vitamin B12 to enable absorption in the terminal ileum; its deficiency (e.g. autoimmune destruction in pernicious anaemia) causes megaloblastic anaemia.
9The most common site of portosystemic anastomosis presenting clinically as oesophageal varices is between which two veins?
A.Left gastric vein and oesophageal tributaries of azygos
B.Superior rectal vein and middle/inferior rectal veins
C.Para-umbilical veins and superficial epigastric veins
D.Retroperitoneal veins of Retzius
Explanation: The clinically most significant portosystemic anastomosis is at the lower oesophagus, between the left gastric (coronary) vein draining into the portal system and the oesophageal tributaries of the azygos vein draining into the systemic system. In portal hypertension this site forms oesophageal varices that may rupture and bleed.
10The basilar artery is formed by the union of which two arteries?
A.Two vertebral arteries
B.Two internal carotid arteries
C.Two posterior cerebral arteries
D.Anterior and posterior spinal arteries
Explanation: The basilar artery is formed at the lower border of the pons by the union of the two vertebral arteries. It ascends in the basilar sulcus and terminates by dividing into the two posterior cerebral arteries, which complete the posterior part of the circle of Willis.
