Superficial fasciae of the body, as well as superficial fasciae of the head and neck, contain vessels, nerves, and muscles BECAUSE the superficial fasciae are located just deep to and attached to skin.
a. Both the statement and reason are correct and related.
b. Both the statement and reason are correct but NOT related.
c. The statement is correct, but the reason is NOT.
d. The statement is NOT correct, but the reason is correct.
e. NEITHER the statement NOR the reason is correct.

ANS:   D

Feedback
A The statement is NOT correct. The superficial fasciae of the body do NOT usually enclose muscles, except for the superficial fasciae of the head and neck. The superficial fasciae contain muscles of facial expression.
B The statement is NOT correct. The superficial fasciae of the body do NOT usually enclose muscles, except for the superficial fasciae of the head and neck. The superficial fasciae contain muscles of facial expression. Also, the statement and the reason are related.
C The statement is NOT correct. The superficial fasciae of the body do NOT usually enclose muscles, except for the superficial fasciae of the head and neck. The superficial fasciae contain muscles of facial expression. The reason is correct. Superficial fasciae are located just deep to and attached to the skin.
D The statement is NOT correct. The superficial fasciae of the body do NOT usually enclose muscles, except for the superficial fasciae of the head and neck. The superficial fasciae contain muscles of facial expression.

Which fascia is NOT included in the layers of the deep fasciae of the face and jaws?
a. Brachial fascia
b. Temporal fascia
c. Masseteric-parotid fascia
d. Pterygoid fascia

ANS:   A

Feedback
A Brachial fascia is investing fascia in the arm and NOT in the face and jaws.
B Temporal fascia is a layer of the deep fasciae of the face and jaws. It covers the temporal muscle down to the zygomatic arch.
C Masseteric-parotid fascia is a layer of the deep fasciae of the face and jaws. The masseteric-parotid fascia is located inferior to the zygomatic arch and covers the masseter muscle. It surrounds the parotid salivary gland.
D The pterygoid fascia is a layer of the deep fasciae of the face and jaws. The pterygoid fascia is located on the medial surface of the medial pterygoid muscle.

Which of the following statements is the BEST description of investing fascia?
a. It is a tube of deep cervical fasciae, deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, running inferiorly along each side of the neck from the base of the skull to the thorax.
b. It is the most external layer of deep cervical fasciae that surrounds the neck, continuing onto the masseteric-parotid fascia.
c. It is a single midline tube of deep cervical fasciae running inferiorly along the neck, surrounding the airway and food way, including the trachea, esophagus, and thyroid gland.
d. It is the deepest layer of the deep cervical fasciae, which covers the vertebrae, spinal column, and associated muscles.

ANS:   B

Feedback
A This is the description of the carotid sheath. It is a tube of deep cervical fasciae, deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, running inferiorly along each side of the neck from the base of the skull to the thorax.
B Investing fascia is the most external layer of deep cervical fasciae that surrounds the neck, continuing on to the masseteric-parotid fascia.
C This is the description of visceral fascia. It is a single midline tube of deep cervical fasciae running inferiorly along the neck, surrounding the airway and food way including the trachea, esophagus, and thyroid gland.
D This is the description of vertebral fascia. It is the deepest layer of the deep cervical fasciae, which covers the vertebrae, spinal column, and associated muscles.

Which of the following structures listed below is NOT found within the carotid sheath?
a. Internal carotid artery
b. Common carotid artery
c. Eleventh cranial nerve or accessory nerve
d. Internal jugular vein

ANS:   C

Feedback
A The internal carotid artery is within the carotid sheath.
B The common carotid artery is within the carotid sheath.
C The tenth cranial nerve or the vagus nerve is within the carotid sheath but NOT the eleventh cranial nerve or accessory nerve. The eleventh cranial nerve or the accessory nerve exits the skull through the jugular foramen, which is between the occipital and temporal bones.
D The internal jugular vein is within the carotid sheath.
