Q1. Which part of the coracoclavicular ligament is located more medially?

  • Superior acromioclavicular ligament
  • Trapezoid ligament
  • Conoid ligament
  • Coracoacromial ligament

Q2. Which part of the coracoclavicular ligament is located more laterally?

  • Trapezoid ligament
  • Coracoacromial ligament
  • Costoclavicular ligament
  • Conoid ligament

Q3. The conoid ligament attaches to which landmark on the clavicle?

  • Conoid tubercle
  • Sternal articular surface
  • Deltoid tubercle
  • Subclavian groove

Q4. The trapezoid ligament attaches to which landmark on the clavicle?

  • Impression for the costoclavicular ligament
  • Trapezoid line
  • Subclavian groove
  • Conoid tubercle only

Q5. Which structure may partially or completely divide the acromioclavicular joint cavity?

  • Subacromial bursa
  • Articular disc
  • Glenoid labrum
  • Long head of biceps tendon

Q6. Why is movement at the acromioclavicular joint important during elevation of the upper limb?

  • It produces flexion and extension at the elbow
  • It locks the scapula completely against the thoracic wall
  • It allows the scapula to adjust and rotate relative to the clavicle
  • It permits the humeral head to rotate inside the ulna

Q7. Which structure provides major vertical stability to the acromioclavicular region?

  • Coracoclavicular ligament
  • Coracoacromial ligament
  • Transverse humeral ligament
  • Annular ligament

Q8. Which ligament is more directly associated with horizontal stability of the acromioclavicular joint?

  • Acromioclavicular ligament
  • Transverse scapular ligament
  • Costoclavicular ligament
  • Coracoacromial ligament

Q9. Which muscles attach near and help reinforce the superior aspect of the acromioclavicular region?

  • Deltoid and trapezius
  • Pronator teres and supinator
  • Biceps brachii and brachialis
  • Latissimus dorsi and teres major

Q10. Which statement best describes the relationship between the acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints during shoulder girdle movement?

  • Only the acromioclavicular joint moves during scapular rotation
  • They move in coordination to position the scapula during upper limb movement
  • Only the sternoclavicular joint moves during arm elevation
  • The two joints normally prevent all scapular movement
