9. You and your date are sharing an extra thick milkshake. To impress your date with your new knowledge of anatomy, you tell her: "I will be

able to suck more of the milkshake into my straw because I have stronger facial muscles, namely, the following pair:


A. levator labii superioris and zygomaticus minor.

10. A teenage girl with acne was in the habit of picking at the

pimples on her face. As a result, one pimple located near the corner of

her mouth became infected. Within a few days the girl complained of a

bad headache and noticed a faint red streak that extended

subcutaneously from the infected pimple toward the medial angle of her

eye. Within a few days her condition worsened. She felt weak and

fatigued and showed signs of exophthalmos (bulging of the eye), ptosis

(drooping of the eyelid) and impairment of normal movements of the

eyeball on her left side. She finally consulted an ophthalmologist who

placed her immediately in the hospital and administered massive doses

of antibiotics to treat her meningitis. The following conclusions about

this girl's condition are true, except:


A. The infection from her picked pimple spread to her cavernous sinus.

B. The facial vein, which has no valves, communicates with the dural venous sinuses through the ophthalmic vein.

C. The three cranial nerves supplying the extra ocular muscles pass through or along the wall of the cavernous sinus, thus explaining their involvement in her symptoms.

D. Her meningitis is due to the fact that the cavernous sinus drains directly into the transverse sinus.

E. Impairment of some sympathetic innervation can be expected because the internal carotid artery and its overlying plexus

of sympathetic fibers do course through the cavernous sinus.

15. You have a bad head cold, but have to fly to Boston for your

interview as a resident. Take-off is quite painful for you because your

stuffed-up auditory tube makes equalizing pressure in you middle ear

difficult. To take your mind off the discomfort during landing you try
