MCQs(Multiple choice questions) on this ppt are more suitable for medical students; however, medical professionals those who are preparing for postgraduate examinations also can refresh essential basics in anatomy, as they provide useful knowledge in the relevant subject area in general. Hence, it is recommended you to go through these videos and gather some information to gain success in future medical and surgical field examinations. https://youtu.be/fPiVGtHLHRc

3. Q 6
Which statement is incorrect about a 'TYPICAL RIB'?
A. It articulates with the vertebral bodies in two places
B. It is attached to the intervertebral disc
C. It bears three facets for the articulation with the vertebral
column
D. Its costal cartilage articulates with the sternum by a synovial
joint
E. It has the costal groove superiorly

4. Q 6 - Answer
Which statement is incorrect about a 'TYPICAL RIB'?
A. It articulates with the vertebral bodies in two places
B. It is attached to the intervertebral disc
C. It bears three facets for the articulation with the vertebral
column
D. Its costal cartilage articulates with the sternum by a synovial
joint
E. It has the costal groove superiorly

5. Q 6 - Feedback
Correct Answer – E
Costal groove is the furrow found along the lower internal
border of a rib; the intercostal vessels(Artery and vein) and
nerve run in this groove.

6. Q 7
Which statement is correct about a 'TYPICAL RIB'?
A. It has two facets on its head for the articulation with its vertebra and the
one below
B. Neck articulation with the transverse process of the corresponding
vertebrae
C. Its tubercle articulates with the body of the corresponding vertebrae
D. Its tubercle articulates with the transverse process of the corresponding
vertebra
E. Ribs 1, 2, 10 11 and 12 are known as 'typical'

7. Q 7 - Answer
Which statement is correct about a 'TYPICAL RIB'?
A. It has two facets on its head for the articulation with its vertebra and the
one below
B. Neck articulation with the transverse process of the corresponding
vertebrae
C. Its tubercle articulates with the body of the corresponding vertebrae
D. Its tubercle articulates with the transverse process of the corresponding
vertebra
E. Ribs 1, 2, 10 11 and 12 are known as 'typical'

8. Q 7 - Feedback
Correct Answer – D
The typical rib consists of a head, a neck and a body.
The head is wedge-shaped and has two articular facets separated by a wedge of
bone. One facet articulates with the numerically corresponding vertebra and the other
articulate with the vertebrae above.
The neck contains no bony prominences but connects the head with the body. Where
the neck meets the body, there is a roughed tubercle, with a facet for articulation with
the transverse process of the corresponding vertebrae.
The body or shaft of the rib is flat and curved. The internal surface of the shaft has a
groove for the neurovascular bundle, protecting these vessels and nerves .
Ribs 1, 2, 10 11 and 12 are 'atypical'.

9. Q 8
Which option correctly describes the contents of the costal
groove?
A. It is there in the superior border of the rib
B. It just carries lymphatic channels
C. It just contains the intercostal veins and arteries
D. The neurovascular bundle has a strict order: vein-artery-nerve, from top to bottom in
the costal groove
E. The neurovascular bundle has a strict order: nerve-artery-vein, from top to bottom in
the costal groove

10. Q 8 - Answer
Which option correctly describes the contents of the costal
groove?
A. It is there in the superior border of the rib
B. It just carries lymphatic channels
C. It just contains the intercostal veins and arteries
D. The neurovascular bundle has a strict order: vein-artery-nerve, from top to bottom in
the costal groove
E. The neurovascular bundle has a strict order: nerve-artery-vein, from top to bottom in
the costal groove

11. Q 8 - Feedback
Correct Answer – D
The subcostal (costal) groove is functionally vital because a
neurovascular bundle runs deep to it.
This bundle has a vein as the superior structure, then an artery, and
lastly a nerve (VAN from superior to inferior).
If one were to describe its location, it would be
on the inner, inferior side of the rib.

12. Q 9
Which statement is more accurate about the clavicle?
A. Its shaft is divisible into lateral two-thirds and medial one-third
B. The lateral two-thirds of the shaft is flattened from above downwards
C. The superior surface of the lateral one-third presents an elevation called
the conoid tubercle
D. The trapezoid ridge is there in the inferior surface of the medial one-third
E. Nutrient foramen lies at the lateral end of the subclavian groove

13. Q 9 - Answer
Which statement is more accurate about the clavicle?
A. Its shaft is divisible into lateral two-thirds and medial one-third
B. The lateral two-thirds of the shaft is flattened from above downwards
C. The superior surface of the lateral one-third presents an elevation called
the conoid tubercle
D. The trapezoid ridge is there in the inferior surface of the medial one-third
E. Nutrient foramen lies at the lateral end of the subclavian groove

14. Q 9 - Feedback
Correct Answer – E
The clavicular shaft can divide into the medial two-thirds and the
lateral one third.
The medial part is thicker than the lateral.
The inferior surface has a ridge called the trapezoid line and a
tubercle; the conoid tubercle for attachment with the trapezoid and
the conoid ligament, part of the coracoclavicular ligament that
serves to connect the clavicle with the coracoid process of the
scapula.

15. Q 10
Select the incorrect statement about the clavicle.
A. Its shaft is divisible into lateral two-thirds and medial one-third
B. The lateral two-thirds of the shaft is flattened from above downwards
C. The superior surface of the lateral one-third presents an elevation called
the conoid tubercle
D. The trapezoid ridge is there in the inferior surface of the medial one-third
E. Nutrient foramen lies at the lateral end of the subclavian groove

16. Q 10
Select the incorrect statement about the clavicle.
A. The acromial end is flattened from above downwards
B. Medial articular surface extends inferiorly for articulation with the first
costal cartilage
C. Medial articular surface extends inferiorly for articulation with the first
rib
D. Subclavian groove is in the inferior surface of the lateral half of the
medial two-thirds
E. E. Subclavian groove gives attachment to the subclavius and the
coracoclavicular fascia

17. Q 10 - Answer
Select the incorrect statement about the clavicle.
A. The acromial end is flattened from above downwards
B. Medial articular surface extends inferiorly for articulation with the first
costal cartilage
C. Medial articular surface extends inferiorly for articulation with the first
rib
D. Subclavian groove is in the inferior surface of the lateral half of the
medial two-thirds
E. E. Subclavian groove gives attachment to the subclavius and the
coracoclavicular fascia

18. Q 10 - Feedback
Correct Answer – C
The medial or the sternal end of the clavicle articulates with the
manubrium sterni to form the sternoclavicular joint.
The surface extends to the inferior aspect, for the articulation with
the first costal cartilage, not the rib directly.
