  1. Impaction

  2. Simple

  3. Cominuted

  4. Compound

  5. Greenstick


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Impaction is a fracture in which the bones involved are driven into each other.

While driving Amit met with an accident. After the medical examination, the doctor confirmed that the bone separating the nasal cavity from the brain has been broken. Which of the following bones is the doctor refering to?

  1. Sphenoid bone

  2. Ethmoid bone

  3. Temporal bone

  4. Occipital bone

  5. Parietal bones


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The ethmoid bone is a bone in the skull separating the nasal cavity from the brain. It is cubical in shape and is a lightweight bone.

Which of the following foramen lies directly under the eyebrow?

  1. The anterior ethmoidal foramen

  2. The posterior ethmoidal foramen

  3. The infraorbital foramen

  4. The supraorbital foramen

  5. The zygomatico-orbital foramen


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The supraorbital foramen is a bony elongated path located above the orbit and under the forehead. It lies directly under the eyebrow.

Which of the following pelvises is a female pelvis with masculine features?

  1. The renal pelvis

  2. The gynaecoid pelvis

  3. The android pelvis

  4. The anthropoid pelvis

  5. The platypelloid pelvis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This pelvis is a female pelvis with masculine features, including a wedge or heart shaped inlet caused by a prominent sacrum and a triangular anterior segment.

After a thorough medical check up, it was confirmed that Anuja's brother is suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta. Which among the following bones are important in the primary diagnosis of brittle bone disease osteogenesis imperfecta?

  1. Irregular bones

  2. Sutural bones

  3. Flat bones

  4. Short bones

  5. Long bones


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sutural bones are very small bones located specifically within the sutural joints, between the cranial bones. These bones are also known as wormian bones, are the marker for some diseases and are important in the primary diagnosis of brittle bone disease.

After examining the X-ray reports, the doctor confirmed that Mrs Khanna's have become translucent. Which of the following disorders is the doctor referring to?

  1. Paget's disease

  2. Osteoporosis

  3. Osteitis

  4. Osteomalacia

  5. Osteogenesis imperfecta


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Osteoporosis is the most common cause of pathological fracture. It generally involves failure of bone tissue formation or maintenance. Thus, bones appear translucent in an X-ray.

Biceps Brachii and Psoas major are which type of muscles?

  1. Pennate Muscles

  2. Fusiform Muscles

  3. Parallel Muscles

  4. Convergent Muscles

  5. Circular Muscles


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

These muscles are more spindle shaped, with the muscle belly being wider than the origin and insertion. Prominent examples are Biceps Brachii and Psoas major.

The human skull contains 22 bones. Which of the following bones is a spongy bone?

  1. The Occipital bone

  2. Sphenoid bones

  3. Ethmoid bone

  4. Temporal bones

  5. Parietal bones


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Ethmoid bone differs from the other bones in the cranium in that it is a spongy bone. It divides the nasal cavity from the brain.

While playing basketball Amit hurt his thumb. In the X ray it was confirmed that the carpal-metacarpal joint of the thumb was fractured. The carpal-metacarpal joint of the thumb is an example of ____________.

  1. Saddle joints

  2. Hinge joints

  3. Ball and socket joints

  4. Pivot Joints

  5. Condyloid Joints


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Saddle joints allow bending motion in several directions without sliding. The carpal-metacarpal joint of the thumb is an example of saddle synovial joints.

Which of the following structures of muscle contraction is integral in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle, but not smooth muscles of the body?

  1. Troponin

  2. Tropomyosin

  3. Myosin

  4. Actin

  5. Myofibril


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Troponin is a complex of three regulatory proteins; troponin C, troponin I and troponin T,  and is integral to muscle contraction in skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles, but not in smooth muscles.

Which among the following is a lysosomal storage disease of the bone?

  1. Pycnodysostosis

  2. Osteogenesis imperfecta

  3. Cleidocranial dysostosis

  4. Hypophosphatasia

  5. Hypoparathyroidism


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pycnodysostosis is a lysosomal storage disease of the bone caused by a mutation in the gene that codes the enzyme cathepsin K.

Which of the following inhibits myosin-actin binding in relaxed muscles of the body?

  1. Troponin T

  2. Troponin C

  3. EF hand

  4. Troponin I

  5. Calmodulin


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Troponin binds to actin in thin myofilaments to hold the actin-tropomyosin complex in place. Because of it, myosin cannot bind actin in relaxed muscle.

The process of a muscle contracting is a complex process. Which of the following statements does not characterise muscle contraction in humans?

  1. A nervous impulse comes at the neuromuscular junction and from the terminal Acetylcholine is released.

  2. In the presence of high concentrations of Ca+, the Ca+ binds to Tropomyosin.

  3. The breakdown of ATP helps in the shortening ot the muscle.

  4. The Myosin leaves the Actin and the cross-bridge is broken when an ATP molecule binds to the Myosin head.

  5. The process of muscular contraction can last for as long as there is adequate ATP.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the wrong statement. In the presence of high concentrations of Ca2+, the Ca2+ binds to troponin, changing its shape and so moving tropomyosin from the active site of the actin. The myosin filaments can now attach to the actin, forming a cross-bridge.

Which of the following is responsible for the pale colour in the flesh of small animals like rodents?

  1. Type I Skeletal muscle

  2. Type IIa Skeletal muscle

  3. Type IIx Skeletal muscle

  4. Type IIb Skeletal muscle

  5. T tubules


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This skeletal muscle is anaerobic, glycolytic and white.  In small animals like rodents this is the major fast muscle type, explaining the pale colour of their flesh.

Ravi met with an accident and his left wrist got hurt. After getting the X ray done, the doctor concluded that the largest carpal bone in the wrist ha been fractured. Which of the following bones is the doctor referring to?

  1. The scaphoid bone

  2. The lunate bone

  3. The triquetral bone

  4. The trapezium

  5. Zone of bone deposition


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

The capitate bone is the largest of the carpal bones in the human hand and occupies the center of the wrist.
