a. the gluteus maximus.
b. the gluteus minimus.
c. the gluteus medius.**
d. the piriformis.
e. The gemelli.

a. The posterior leg – S3.
b. The lateral ankle- S1 .**
c. The lateral leg- L4.
d. The knee-L2.
e. The sitting area of the buttock-S2.
10. Which of the following is most likely true regarding the venous drainage of
the lower limb?
The superficial venous system is similar to that of upper limbs
The valves of the great saphenous vein are located just superior to the perforating
veins.
The perforating veins are valveless
The perforating veins penetrate the deep fascia at right angle
The use of great saphenous vein for grafting may facilitate the superficial to deep
blood drainage
11. The following muscles groups are active during midstance phase of gait except:
Knee extensors
Ankle planter flexors
Hip abductors
Intrinsic muscles of the foot
Hip extensors
12. The following is true regarding the arterial supply of the lower limb
An enlarged pubic branch of superficial epigastric artery may form accessory obturator
artery.
The profunda femoris artery arises from the medial side of the femoral artery
Developmentally, the inferior gluteal artery is the major artery of posterior
compartment
The popliteal artery runs inferomedially through the popliteal fossa
The popliteal pulsations are better felt when the knee is extended
13. The following statement is false regarding the nerves of the lower limbs:
The sural nerve may not be present.
The planter reflex is mediated via L4,L5,S1and S2.
The lateral planter nerve compression is frequently occurs to runners.
The common peroneal nerve injury is associated with foot drop.
The level of bifurcation of the sciatic nerve is variable.
7. The following cutaneous areas and supplying sensory roots are correctly paired except
C5—radial side of upper arm
C6—radial side of forearm
C7—the skin of the hand
C8—ulnar side of upper arm
T1—ulnar side of upper arm
9. Regarding the lymphatic drainage of the upper limb, the following is true
The deep lymphatic vessels are more numerous than the superficial vessels
Some vessels which accompany the cephalic vein enter the cubital lymph nodes
The palmar lymphatic plexus is denser than the dorsal plexus in the hand
The scapular skin drains only to subscapular axillary nodes
The proximal palm drains away from the carpus
10. Which one of the following statements concerning the arterial supply of the hand is NOT
true?
The deep arterial arch of the palm is formed primarily by the radial artery.
The superficial arch of the palm is formed primarily by the ulnar artery.
The digital and metacarpal branches of the superficial and deep arches also exhibit
anastomoses.
The deep branch of the ulnar artery passes through the hypothenar muscles.
The continuation of the radial artery that enters the palm does so between the second
and third metacarpal bones.
14. A 35-year-old male involved in road traffic accident presented complaining of pain in
the root of his neck. On examination, his right arm is adducted, internally rotated and
extended at the elbow. He has loss of sensation along the outer aspects of the arm and the
forearm. The most likely segments involved are:
C5 and C6.
C5, 6 and 7
C7, 8 and T1.
C5, 6,7,8, and T1.
C7 and 8.
15. The following muscles and nerves supplying them are correctly linked:
Powerful supinator of the forearm – deep branch of the radial nerve.
Extensors of the wrist joint – musculocutaneous nerve .
All muscles of the anterior fascial compartment of the forearm – median nerve.
Palmar and dorsal interossei – deep branch of the ulnar nerve.
3rd and 4th lumbricals – median nerve.
