12. All of the subsequent statements are actual for metaphysis of bone except:
1.It is the strongest part of bone.
2.It is the most vascular part of bone.
3.Growth activity is maximized here.
4.It is the region favouring hematogenous spread of infection.
Ans.3 [ Growth activity is max at epiphyseal plate, fractures are lowest common at metaphysis. chaurasia handbook of general anatomy.
GRAY Pg 454 38th edition Metaphysis—developing, juxta-epiphysical regions of shaft.
Grays Anatomy Page 477 38th Edition - ......growth plate next to the metaphysis soon becomes the most active region, and rapidly enlarging cell columns are directed towards the metaphyseal plate......]
13. All of the subsequent features can be observed after the injury to axillary nerve except:
1.Loss of rounded contour of shoulder.
2.Loss of sensation along lateral side of upper arm.
3.Loss of overhead abduction.
4. Atrophy of deltoid muscle.
Ans.3
14. Allof the subsequent muscles are grouped together as muscles of mastication except:
1.Buccinator.
2.Masseter.
3.Temporalis.
4.Pterygoids.
Ans. 1

15. Referred pain from ureteric colic is felt in the groin due to involvement of the subsequent nerve:
1.Subcostal.
2.Iliohypogastric.
3.Ilioinguinal.
4.Genitofemoral
Ans.4 [ GRAY ANATOMY - Referred pain due to ureteric colic - It shoots down and forwards from the loin to the groin and scrotum or labium majus and may extend into the proximal anterior aspect of the thigh by projection to the genitofemoral nerve (L1, 2); the cremaster (which has the identical innervation) may reflexly retract the testis] By this the ans should be four We should go for ans four but S das textbook of surgery suggests otherwise learn beneath....more discussion at "Question Forum"]
[ Das textbook surgery page 1136 first ed says that upper ureteric colic referred to loin and groin is carried by Iliohypogastric and Ilioinguinal nerve. Since skin is supplied by Iliohypogastric then is should be the ans. When ureteric colic pain is referred to testicles / thigh then Genitofemoral nerve is involved]
16. The right coronary artery supplies all of the subsequent parts of the conducting system in the heart except:
1.SA Node.
2.AV Node.
3.AV Bundle.
4.Right boundle branch.
Ans.3
17. A commonest reason for neuralgic pain in foot is:
1.Compression of Communication ranging from medical and lateral planter nerves.
2.Exaggeration of longitudinal arches.
