3. Which is proximal to the other?
a. polled-metacarpal

d. otic-orbit
Answer 1
Correct answers
Option a - the otic ganglion (superior) is situated in the infra temporal fossa and the cervical ganglion is situated in front of C 2 AND C3 vertebra.
Option b - the pelvic (superior) or sacral nerves are spinal nerves that arise from the cauda equina. This is situated at the pelvic. The plantar nerve is the branches of the tibial nerve situated in the foot
Option c - the gluteal nerve (superior) arises from the sacral plexus and the popliteal fossa the sciatic nerve divides into tibial and peroneal nerve the popliteal fossa is situated behind the knee
Incorrect- option D - the olcrenon (superior) situated in the elbow and the lumbar in waist region.
Answer 2:
Correct answer
Option- b. - the gluteal muscles and nerve are situated lateral to the sacrum
Option c - the acromial process of the scapula is situated lateral to the cervical spine
Incorrect
Option a - the sternal region is situated medial to the axilla
Option d - the perineal region is situated medial to the anti- brachial region
Answer 3:
Correct answer - option b - the olecranon process is situated proximal to the palm
Incorrect answer
Anticubital is situated distal to the acromial
Otic region is distal to the orbit
