Gazi Medical College — Anatomy 2nd Term MCQ Answers
MTF (Mark True/False) — Questions 1–10
Q1. Hamstring group of muscles include:
- a) Gracilis — F (adductor group)
- b) Sartorius — F (anterior thigh)
- c) Semimembranosus — T
- d) Semitendinosus — T
- e) Short head of biceps — F (short head is NOT a hamstring; it arises from the femur and is not innervated by the tibial division)
Q2. Contents of the popliteal fossa include:
- a) Deep peroneal nerve — F (common peroneal nerve is in the fossa, not deep peroneal)
- b) Femoral vessels — F (popliteal vessels, not femoral)
- c) Great saphenous nerve — F
- d) Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh — T
- e) Tibial nerve — T
Q3. Joints involved in eversion of foot:
- a) Subtalar joint — T
- b) Ankle joint — F (plantarflexion/dorsiflexion only)
- c) Metatarsophalangeal joint — F
- d) Talocalcaneonavicular joint — T
- e) Cuboidonavicular joint — T
Q4. Portal circulation exists in the following:
- a) Pituitary gland — T (hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal system)
- b) Kidney — F
- c) Stomach — F
- d) Spleen — F
- e) Liver — T (hepatic portal system)
Q5. Following muscles have dual nerve supply:
- a) Pectineus — T (femoral + obturator)
- b) Adductor magnus — T (obturator + tibial division of sciatic)
- c) Biceps femoris — T (long head: tibial; short head: common peroneal)
- d) Quadriceps femoris — F (femoral nerve only)
- e) Tibialis anterior — F (deep peroneal nerve only)
Q6. Mucous membrane of the small & large intestine possesses:
- a) Villi throughout its length — F (villi only in small intestine)
- b) Layers of smooth muscle — T
- c) Goblet cells — T
- d) Peyer's patches throughout its length — F (mainly in ileum)
- e) Lining with simple columnar epithelium — T
Q7. The endocrine function of the pancreas involves the secretion of:
- a) Insulin — T
- b) Glucagon — T
- c) Digestive enzymes — F (exocrine function)
- d) Somatostatin — T
- e) Pancreatic polypeptide — T
Q8. The gall bladder:
- a) Lies at the tip of the right 10th costal cartilage — F (tip of 9th costal cartilage)
- b) Is closely related to the duodenum — T
- c) Supplied by branch of the right hepatic artery — T (cystic artery)
- d) Is lined by simple squamous epithelium — F (simple columnar)
- e) Completely covered by peritoneum — F (superior surface lacks peritoneum)
Q9. Retroperitoneal structures are:
- a) Kidney — T
- b) Transverse colon — F (intraperitoneal)
- c) Ascending colon — T
- d) Vermiform appendix — F (intraperitoneal)
- e) Inferior vena cava — T
Q10. The normal anatomical position of the uterus is:
- a) Anteverted — T
- b) Anteflexed — T
- c) Retroverted — F
- d) Retroflexed — F
- e) Retroverted & retroflexed — F
SBA (Single Best Answer) — Questions 11–20
| Q | Answer | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 11 | b) Coeliac trunk | The coeliac trunk is the first ventral (unpaired) branch of the abdominal aorta |
| 12 | c) Ascending colon | The ascending colon is fixed (retroperitoneal); transverse and sigmoid are mobile |
| 13 | c) Liver | Foregut derivatives include the liver, gallbladder, pancreas (head), stomach, and duodenum up to the major papilla |
| 14 | e) Anterior division of femoral nerve | The saphenous nerve is the longest cutaneous branch; it arises from the anterior division of the femoral nerve |
| 15 | c) Gluteus maximus | Gluteus maximus is the primary muscle innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve |
| 16 | c) Popliteus | Popliteus "unlocks" the knee by laterally rotating the femur on the fixed tibia (screwing/unscrewing action) — it is classically called the "key" or "locking/unlocking" muscle of the knee |
| 17 | a) Simple columnar with cilia | The fallopian (uterine) tube is lined by simple columnar epithelium with ciliated and secretory (peg) cells |
| 18 | c) Discontinuous (sinusoidal) capillary | Sinusoids are discontinuous (sinusoidal) capillaries with large gaps and incomplete basement membrane, found in liver, spleen, bone marrow |
| 19 | d) Perforating artery | The profunda femoris (deep femoral artery) gives off perforating arteries as its main branches |
| 20 | a) Common peroneal nerve | Foot drop results from injury to the common peroneal (fibular) nerve, which innervates dorsiflexors and evertors via deep and superficial peroneal branches |
