Which cranial nerves innervate the face?

a. II and V
b. III and VI
c. V and VII
d. VIII and IX
e. I and VII - ANSWER: ANS: C
Facial nerves are controlled by cranial nerves V and VII, cranial nerve I involves smell, cranial nerves II,
III, and VI control the eyes, cranial nerve VIII deals with hearing, and cranial nerve IX deals with
swallowing.

The trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles and the clavicle form a landmark called the triangle.

a. anterior
b. posterior
c. lateral
d. medial
e. ventral - ANSWER: ANS: B
Anatomically, these landmarks comprise what is referred to as the posterior triangle, which includes
the posterior cervical lymph nodes. The anterior triangle is adjacent to the posterior triangle, formed
by the medial borders of the sternocleidomastoid muscles and the mandible. The relationship of neck
muscles to each other and to adjacent bones creates the anatomic landmarks known as triangles.

The medial border of the sternocleidomastoid muscles and the mandible form the triangle.

a. dorsal
b. posterior
c. lateral
d. medial
e. anterior - ANSWER: ANS: E
The anterior triangle is adjacent to the posterior triangle, formed by the medial borders of the
sternocleidomastoid muscles and the mandible. The trapezius, sternocleidomastoid muscles, and
clavicle form the posterior triangle. The relationship of neck muscles to each other and to adjacent
bones creates the anatomic landmarks known as triangles.

The largest endocrine gland in the body lies in the triangle.

a. anterior
b. posterior
c. lateral
d. medial
e. ventral - ANSWER: ANS: A
The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland and lies in the anterior triangle. The posterior triangle
does contain cervical lymph nodes, and the lateral and medial triangles are not anatomic landmarks

Which structures disproportionately enlarge in males during adolescence?

a. Coronal sutures

, b. Hyoid and cricoid cartilages
c. Mandible and maxilla bones
d. Nose and thyroid cartilages
e. Mastoid processes and ears - ANSWER: ANS: D
In adolescent males, the nose enlarges, and the thyroid cartilage becomes the largest component of
the anterior larynx, known as the Adam's apple.

When examining the skull of a 4-month-old baby, you should normally find:

a. closure of the anterior fontanel.
b. closure of the posterior fontanel.
c. ossification of the all sutures.
d. overlap of the cranial bones.
e. closure of the sagittal and coronal sutures - ANSWER: ANS: B
At 2 months of age, the posterior fontanels should be closed or ossified with the anterior fontanels, a
larger fontanel, closing at 12 to 15 months. The only time the cranial bones should overlap is during a
vaginal birth as a result of pressure within the birth canal. Ossification of the sutures begins after
completion of brain growth, at about 6 years of age, and is finished by adulthood.

The thyroid gland is partially obscured by the:

a. cricoid cartilage.
b. carotid artery.
c. external jugular.
d. sternocleidomastoid.
e. hyoid bone. - ANSWER: ANS: D
The thyroid sits just below the cricoid, an anatomic landmark for location of the thyroid; the lobes
curve are somewhat hidden by the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

The brown or tan pigmentation on the forehead, nose, and malar prominence of some pregnant
women is called:

a. hormonal acne.
b. erythema.
c. alopecia.
d. chloasma.
e. craniotabes. - ANSWER: ANS: D
Chloasma, brown or tan facial pigmentation during pregnancy, fades after delivery. Hormonal acne
and erythema do not result in brown or tan pigmentation, and alopecia is loss of hair. Craniotabes is a
softening of the outer table of the skull of an infant, often associated with rickets and hydrocephalus.

A bruit heard over the thyroid is suggestive of:

a. hypothyroidism.
b. hyperthyroidism.
c. thyroid cancer.
d. thyroid cyst.
e. thyroid nodule. - ANSWER: ANS: B
Because of hypermetabolic states such as hyperthyroidism, a bruit may be heard as a result of the
increased blood flow to the area. Auscultating a bruit is not symptomatic of hypothyroidism, cancer,
or a cyst. A nodule is more indicative of cancer.

What is the significance of a patient with asymmetry of the entire side of the face?

a. A degenerative process may be developing.
b. A peripheral trigeminal nerve problem exists.
c. Asymmetry of body sides is a normal finding.
