: : : 1. Transatlantic flights and video games may lead to pulmonary embolism. : : True. : : : 2. Bursitis may occur at the knee or hip joint. : : True. : : : 3. The genicular anastomosis provides collateral circulation across the ankle joint. : : False. : : The genicular anastomosis provides collateral circulation across the knee joint. : : OR : : The malleolar anastomosis provides collateral circulation across the ankle joint. : : : 4. The malleolar anastomosis provides collateral circulation across the hip joint. : : False. : : The malleolar anastomosis provides collateral circulation across the ankle joint. : : : 5. The suprapatellar bursa, but not the prepatellar bursa, is a diverticulum of the synovial cavity of the knee. : : False. : : A bursa is by definition a diverticulum of the synovial cavity. : : : 6. The blood supply to lung tissue is by the pulmonary veins. : : False. : : The blood supply to lung tissue is by the pulmonary arteries. : : : 7. The blood supply to lung tissue is by the bronchial veins. : : False. The blood supply to lung tissue is by the bronchial arteries. : : : 8. Enlarged pulmonary nodes may compress structures at the hilum of the lung (be careful). : : False. This is not necessarily true. : : : 9. Bronchial arteries to the left lung are derived from the descending aorta. : : True. : : : 10. A pulmonary embolism may raise right ventricular pressure. : : True. : : : 11. Bradycardia paired with chest pain may indicate a vagal nerve disturbance triggered by the sinuatrial node. : : True. : : : 12. A build up of fluid in the pericardial cavity may compress the heart and decrease filling of the heart chambers. : : False. It may compress the heart. But, the volume contained by the chambers should remain the same. : : : 13. Pericardical centesis is performed at the right side of the xiphoid process. : : False. It can also be performed on the left side and it may be better to perform it on the left side. The left ventricular wall is thicker and the fluid would flow back faster. : : : 14. The sternochondral joints, but not the costochondral joints, are synovial. : : False. Some costochondral joints are synovial; joints between the cartilage of R6-9. : : : : : 15. The costotransverse joints, but not the costovertebral joints, are synovial. : : True. : : : 16. The esophagus may become compressed at the right main bronchus. : : False. The esophagus does not overlap with the right main bronchus. : : : 17. The costophrenic angle refers to a topography of the costodiaphragmatic recess. : : True. : Dear Lone Ranger.
