Question

1. When air is allowed into the pleural cavity, either from a stab wound or a blown out alveolus of the lung, the lung will collapse because of:

expansion of the rib cage

paralysis of the muscles of inspiration

the action of the muscles of expiration

the elasticity of the visceral pleura

the elasticity of the lung parenchyma

2. Which of the following arteries is used to characterize an inguinal hernia as direct or indirect?

superficial circumflex iliac

femoral

inferior epigastric

deep external pudendal

obturator

3.

Most of the small intestine receives its blood supply from branches of a single artery. The artery that supplies most of the small bowel is the:

gastroduodenal

celiac

inferior mesenteric

superior mesenteric

middle colic

4.

When removing the spleen, a surgeon must be careful not to cut one of its branches, the:

left renal

superior mesenteric

left gastric

left gastroepiploic

superior pancreaticoduodenal

5. Which group of structures empties directly into the right atrium?

coronary sinus and pulmonary vein

pulmonary and bronchial veins the following

superior vena cava, coronary sinus and hemiazygos vein

superior and inferior venae cavae and coronary sin

coronary sinus and azygos vein

6. The tunica vaginalis:

is normally continuous with the peritoneal cavity in the adult

lies posterior to the testis

is formed from peritoneum

covers the round ligament

expansion of the rib cage

paralysis of the muscles of inspiration

the action of the muscles of expiration

the elasticity of the visceral pleura

the elasticity of the lung parenchyma
