Anatomy of The Thorax (MCQS)

The document consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) regarding the anatomy of the thorax, specifically focusing on the pericardium, heart structure, chambers, conducting system, embryology, nerves, and diaphragm. It covers various aspects such as the pericardial cavity, heart surfaces, openings of the right atrium, and the role of different nerves. Additionally, it includes questions related to clinical consequences and solutions for conditions like persistent ductus arteriosus.

ANATOMY OF THE

THORAX ( MCQS)
By BlessingsBuju
1. Regarding the pericardium
a) The visceral pericardium can also be called the endocardium
b) its lies posterior to the body of the sternum and the 2nd to the 6 th costal cartilages
and anterior to the 5th to the 8th thoracic vertebrae.
c) The parietal serous pericardium is firmly attached to the central tendon of the
diaphragm

d) The pericardial cavity lies between the parietal and fibrous pericardium
e) Excess pericardial fluid cases cardiac tamponade
2. With regards to the pericardial cavity
a) It normally contains 5-10ml of pericardial fluid
b) Paracentesis is a procedure performed to remove excess fluid within the
pleural space
c) The transverse and the oblique sinuses contain pericardial fluid
d) It is only found on the posterior aspect of the heart
e) The cavity forms as a result of cardiac looping
3. With regards to the surfaces of the heart
a) The heart has four surfaces
b) The heart sits on its base
c) The diaphragmatic surface has its majority being formed by the right
ventricle
d) The base is formed mostly of the right atrium
e) The heart begins to pump blood during the third week of intrauterine life.
4. With regards to the chambers of the heart
a) Within the right atrium, the part that lies posterior to the crista terminalis is
smooth
b) The roughened part of the right atrium which is derived from the primitive
atrium is composed of trabeculae carneae
c) There are 4 papillary muscles in the left ventricles
d) The papillary muscles attach directly to the cusps of the tricuspid valves
e) Pulmonary and aortic valves have chordae tendinea associated with them
5. Regarding the openings of the right atrium
a) Superior vena cava is guarded by a rudimentary non-functional valve
b) The superior vena cava is larger than the inferior vena cava
c) the coronary orifice lies anterior to that of the IVC
d) The right atrioventricular valve is guarded by the bicuspid valve
e) Many small veins open independently into the chamber of the right atrium
6. With regards to the heart
a) The myocardium of the left ventricle are 6 times thicker than the right
ventricle
b) The intraventricular pressure within the left ventricle is 6 times higher than
in the right ventricle
c) The anulus ovalis is a remnant of the septum secundum
d) The fossa ovalis and anulus ovalis are remnants found on the ventricular
septum
e) In dextrocardia the heart is found on the right side
7. Describe the skeleton of the heart (5 marks)

8. With regards to the conducting system of the heart


a) The normal heart contracts rhythmically at about 70 to 90 beats per minute in the
resting adult.
b) the atria contract first and together
c) There is a slight delay in the passage of the impulse from the atria to the ventricles
d) The SAN is located within the walls of the left atrium
e) The VAN spontaneously gives origin to rhythmic electrical impulses
8. With regards to embryology of the heart
a) The heart begins to pump during the 4th week of intrauterine life
b) Septum secundum lies to the left of the septum primum
c) During intrauterine life blood flows from the left atrium to the right atrium through the foramen
ovale
d) Ligamentum arteriosum is a remnant of the foramen ovale
e) During intrauterine life , the inferior vena cava brings in deoxygenated blood into the right atrium.

9. Discuss the clinical consequences of a persistent ductus arteriosus and possible solution (5marks)
10. With regards to the nerves of the thorax
a) The phrenic nerves provides sole motor innervation to the diaphragm
b) The left recurrent laryngeal nerve is given off with the thorax
c) The right recurrent laryngeal nerve hooks under the right part of the arch
of aorta
d) The phrenic nerve takes part in the pulmonary and esophageal plexuses
e) The vagus nerves pass Infront of the roots of the lungs , whereas the
phrenic nerves pass behind the roots of lungs.
11. With regards to the diaphragm
a) The left phrenic nerve passes through the caval opening at T8
b) The left vagus nerve passes through the esophageal opening behind the
esophagus
c) Fibers from the left crus of the diaphragm form a sling around the
esophagus
d) It is the main muscle of inspiration
e) Used during defecation, micturition and parturition
