Question 1 of 5
_________________ is a connective tissue that connects a muscle to a bone.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: I'm sorry, but the correct answer provided in the question is incorrect. The connective tissue that connects a muscle to a bone is called a tendon, not bursae. Tendons are fibrous tissues that transmit the mechanical force generated by muscles to bones, allowing movement. Ligaments connect bones to bones, bursae are fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction between tissues, and synovial membrane lines joint cavities and produces synovial fluid for lubrication. Therefore, the correct answer is A: Tendon.
Question 2 of 5
The patient was taken to the operating room where an
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Reduction. In medical terminology, reduction refers to the process of restoring a dislocated or fractured bone to its normal position. In this context, the patient was likely taken to the operating room for a reduction procedure to realign the affected bone. A: Open - Incorrect because it does not specify the specific procedure being performed. B: Open deduction - Incorrect because "deduction" is not a term commonly used in medical procedures and does not make sense in this context. C: Deduction - Incorrect for the same reasons as B, as deduction is not a relevant medical term in this scenario.
Question 3 of 5
Out of the following, which is a flat bone?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Patella. The patella, also known as the kneecap, is a flat bone located in the front of the knee joint. It serves to protect the knee joint and improve the leverage of the quadriceps muscles during movement. The other choices, such as the shoulder blade (B), hand bone (C), and thigh bone (D), are not flat bones. The shoulder blade is a scapula, a flat and triangular bone. The hand bone refers to the metacarpal and phalanges, which are long bones. The thigh bone is the femur, a long bone in the upper leg. The patella's unique flat shape and location make it the correct choice.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following portions of the placenta secretes HCG?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Syncytiotrophoblast. This layer of the placenta secretes human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a hormone crucial for maintaining pregnancy by supporting the corpus luteum to produce progesterone. Syncytiotrophoblast is a multinucleated layer formed from the fusion of cytotrophoblast cells and is responsible for hormone secretion. B: Cytotrophoblast is the inner layer of the trophoblast but does not secrete HCG. C: Endometrium is the lining of the uterus and is not part of the placenta. D: Chorion is a membrane that contributes to the formation of the placenta but does not secrete HCG.
Question 5 of 5
A 29 year old married computer programmer is c/o 'something strange' going on in his scrotum. Last month he felt a lump in his left testis, and it is still there. He has had some aching in the left testis but denies pain with urination or intercourse. Denies fever, malaise, night sweats. His PMH consisted of groin surgery as a baby and a tonsillectomy as an adolescent. He eats a healthy diet, exercises, denies tobacco or drugs. On exam the penis is circumcised with no lesions. No lymphadenopathy. Palpation of his scrotum is unremarkable on the right but indicates a large mass on the left. Placing a finger through the inguinal ring on the right, you have the patient bear down. Nothing is felt. You attempt to place your finger through the left inguinal ring but cannot get above the mass. On rectal exam, his prostate is unremarkable. What disorder of the tests is most likely the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Scrotal hernia. The patient's presentation with a lump in the left testis, aching, and a large mass on the left side of the scrotum, along with the inability to pass a finger above the mass through the left inguinal ring, suggests a scrotal hernia. This is further supported by the fact that bearing down does not reveal anything on the right side, ruling out hydrocele and varicocele. Scrotal edema would present with more generalized swelling in the scrotum rather than a localized mass. So, the key findings here point towards a scrotal hernia as the most likely diagnosis.
