Q1. Where is the median nerve usually formed?
- Posterior arm
- Carpal tunnel
- Axilla
- Cubital fossa
Q2. What is the typical relationship of the median nerve to the brachial artery in the proximal arm?
- Lateral to the brachial artery
- Within the brachial artery
- Behind the medial epicondyle
- Posterior to the humerus
Q3. How does the median nerve typically change its relationship to the brachial artery in the arm?
- It leaves the artery and enters the posterior compartment
- It crosses anterior to the artery from lateral to medial
- It crosses posterior to the artery from medial to lateral
- It remains lateral to the artery throughout the arm
Q4. What is the typical relationship of the median nerve to the brachial artery near the cubital fossa?
- Posterior to the olecranon
- Lateral to the biceps tendon
- Medial to the brachial artery
- Within the brachialis muscle
Q5. Which structure lies superficial to the median nerve in the cubital fossa and helps protect it during venipuncture?
- Bicipital aponeurosis
- Annular ligament
- Extensor retinaculum
- Interosseous membrane
Q6. Between which two heads does the median nerve typically pass as it enters the forearm?
- Long and short heads of biceps brachii
- Radial and ulnar heads of flexor digitorum profundus
- Humeral and ulnar heads of pronator teres
- Long and lateral heads of triceps brachii
Q7. Which major branch of the median nerve supplies several deep muscles of the anterior forearm?
- Superficial radial nerve
- Posterior interosseous nerve
- Dorsal cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve
- Anterior interosseous nerve
Q8. Which anterior forearm muscle is generally not supplied by the median nerve or one of its branches?
- Flexor carpi radialis
- Flexor carpi ulnaris
- Pronator teres
- Palmaris longus
Q9. Which branch of the median nerve usually passes superficial to the flexor retinaculum rather than through the carpal tunnel?
- Common palmar digital nerve
- Palmar cutaneous branch
- Recurrent motor branch
- Anterior interosseous nerve
Q10. Which cutaneous territory is characteristically supplied by the median nerve in the hand?
- Palmar aspect of the medial one and a half digits only
- Entire dorsum of the hand
- Skin over the deltoid only
- Palmar aspect of the lateral three and a half digits
