Multiple Choice Questions in Anatomy and Neurobiology for Undergraduates is a collection of multiple choice questions in anatomy and neurobiology for undergraduate students. Questions are grouped for each visceral system and the nervous system. In the case of the body framework (including peripheral nerves and blood vessels), however, a regional grouping is used. Each question has the corresponding correct answer. This book is comprised of eight chapters covering the upper limb, head and neck, musculoskeletal trunk, lower limb, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, gastrointestinal and genito-urinary systems, and neurobiology. Each chapter contains three types of questions designed to test knowledge in different ways. Type A items involve choosing a single correct answer from five available choices. Type L items are used to elicit information on the cause-effect relationship between sets of data. Type E items call for the perception of one or more correct responses among four alternatives, and the responses may be grouped in five different ways. Most questions are also accompanied by an indication of the percentage of students who obtained the correct answer on occasions of previous settings and by a biserial correlation coefficient (r biserial), indicative of the capacity of the question to distinguish between more able and less able students. This monograph is primarily intended for medical undergraduates and will also be useful to academic anatomists building up their own question banks.

The Upper Limb

Type A items (Hubbard and Clemans, 1961) (Questions 1–88)

These involve choosing one correct answer from five available choices. The instruction for these items is as follows:

Each of the incomplete statements below is followed by five suggested answers or completions. Select the one which is best in each case.

(C) is strengthened by the conoid ligament.

(D) is a fibrous joint.

(E) has none of the above properties.

8. The close-packed position of the shoulder joint occurs with the arm

(A) by the side of the body.

(B) at 90° abduction with medial rotation.

(C) at 90° abduction with lateral rotation.

(D) at 180° abduction with medial rotation.

(E) at 180° abduction with lateral rotation.

9. The muscle pair most important in abduction at the gleno-humeral joint is

(C) include the teres major muscle.

(D) are the only muscles involved in lateral rotation.

(E) are all adductors of the arm at the shoulder.

(B) deltoid.

(C) supraspinatus.

(D) subclavius.

(E) pectoralis major.

12. In a normal antero-posterior radiograph of the shoulder region, taken in the anatomical position, the most lateral bony feature is

(A) the acromion.

(B) the lesser tubercle.

(C) the coracoid process.

(D) the greater tubercle.

(E) none of the above.

13. The humerus has

(A) a greater tubercle located medial to the lesser tubercle.
