Pectoral Girdle Mcqs Explained
7. Triceps
a. Is supplied by three branches of the radial nerve In Moores it is, by a study in 2004 showed long
head is really spplied by axillary
b. Arises via its medial head from the lateral side of the radial groove superior to radial groove
c. May be weakened by mid humeral fractures radial supply comes of proximally
d. Arises via the long head from the infraglenoid tubercle - true
e. Assists in supination of the forearm only extension (+ long head as shunt)
8. Regarding the brachial plexus, all of the following are true EXCEPT:
a. The roots forming the plexus originate from the anterior rami of C5, 6, 7, 8 and T1
b. The roots lie between the scalenus medius and scalenus posterior muscles <= anterior/medius
c. The trunks lie in the lower part of the posterior triangle
d. The divisions are formed behind the clavicle
e. The cords are formed at the outer border of the 1st rib
9. The axillary artery
a. Becomes the brachial artery at the upper border of teres major - lower
b. Gives rise to the thoracoacromial artery as its largest branch c. Lies medial to the axillary vein the vein is antero medial to the artery
d. Gives rise to the superior thoracic artery which supplies latissimus dorsi superior thoracic
supplies 1st/snd intercostal spaces and upper slips serratus anterior. thoracodorsal a. -> lat. dorsi
e. Is the continuation of the third part of the subclavian artery <= true
10. The brachialis muscle:
a. Arises from the upper third of the humerus distal half
b. Inserts into the coronoid process and tuberosity of ulna <= true
c. Is suppled exclusively by the medial nerve - musculocutaneous
d. Is a powerful supinator of the forearm chief flexor
e. Adducts the arm doesnt cross the GHJ
11. Paralysis of which nerve results in inability to initiate abduction of the arm
a. Axillary nerve continue abduction via deltoid
b. Suprascapular nerve <= to supraspinatous thus true
c. Subscapular nerve upper and lower to subscap, lower to teres major
d. Dorsal scapular nerve to rhomboids and lev scap
e. Thoracodorsal nerve to lat dorsi
c. The only branch from the trunks is thoracodorsal nerve to supra and infraspinatus the
suprascapluar nerve (and possibly the nerve to subclavius), the dorsal scapular spplies rhomboids
and levator scapulae
d. The cords are formed at the outer border of the first rib <=
e. The ulnar nerve receives a branch from the lateral cord which carries fibres to flexor carpi ulnaris
18. Fracture of the humerus can commonly result in which of the following lesions?
a. Paralysis of triceps
b. Numbness over posterior part of upper arm
c. Numbness over 1st dorsal interosseous <=
d. Numbness over posterior forearm and lateral upper arm
e. Paralysis of long flexors of fingers
19. The posterior compartment of the arm has
a. The lateral head of triceps arising from the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
b. The radial nerve occupying the whole of the spiral groove
c. Triceps being innervated by three branches of the radial nerve
d. Radial nerve giving of lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm and lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm
e. The medial head of triceps also inserts into the elbow joint capsule
20. The actions of deltoid include:
a. Abduction of the arm with supraspinatus
b. Extension of the arm with latissimus dorsi
c. Flexion and medial rotation of the arm with pectoralis major
d. Steadying the arm in abduction (anterior and posterior fibres)
e. All of the above <=
21. The triangular space below teres major in the axilla transmits the profunda brachii vessels and
a. Musculocutaneous nerve
b. Ulnar nerve
c. Median nerve
d. Radial nerve <=
e. Axillary nerve via quad w/ posterior circumflex humeral
22. The nerve supply of teres major is
a. Thoracodorsal nerve
b. Dorsal scapular nerve
c. Axillary nerve
d. Lower subscapular nerve <=
e. Suprascapular nerve
23. The second part of the axillary artery gives rise to the
a. Superior thoracic artery 1st
b. Subscapular artery 3rd
c. Suprascapular artery from subclavian (via thyrocervical trunk usually, tITS)
d. Circumflex humeral arteries 3rd
e. Thoracoacromial artery <= S,TL,SAP, 2nd: thoracoacromial and lateral thoracic
24. The axillary nerve contains fibres from
a. C5, 6 <=
b. C5, 6, 7
c. C6, 7
d. C7
e. C8, T1
25. The radial nerve
a. Passes out of the axilla below the lower edge of teres major <= the triangular space is lower border
teres major, humerus and long head of triceps, so correct
b. Supplies the shoulder joint suprascapluar, axillary and lateral pectoral nerves
c. Supplies a small patch of skin on lateral surface of arm a large strip posterolaterally and supplies
skin on dorsum of hand
d. Is motor to flexor muscles of forearm - median
e. Is cutaneous to dorsal surface of tips of index and middle fingers - median
26. Infraspinatus
a. Medially rotates the shoulder joint subscap pect major
b. Laterally rotates the shoulder joint correct, main action
c. Inserts into the lower facet on greater tuberosity of humerus middle, S#SIT
d. Is supplied by the lower subscapular nerve - suprascapular
e. Extends the shoulder joint deltoid, teres major, lat dorsi, long head triceps
27. Regarding triceps
a. Has an extensive midline origin from superior nuchal line to spinous process of T12 - true
b. Inserts into lateral 1/3 of clavicle, acromion and all of the spine of the scpula - true
c. Supplied by the spinal part of the accessory nerve - true
d. Acts to rotate the scapula upward rotation
e. Is antagonised by the rhomboids and levator scapulae downward rotation
