Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between the cutaneous vessels and the perforating branches of the internal thoracic artery?

  • The cutaneous vessels are supplied by the perforating branches of the internal thoracic artery.
  • The cutaneous vessels are accompanied by the perforating branches of the internal thoracic artery. (correct)
  • The cutaneous vessels have no relationship with the perforating branches of the internal thoracic artery.
  • The cutaneous vessels are larger than the perforating branches of the internal thoracic artery.

What is the function of the platysma muscle?

  • The platysma muscle is responsible for moving the clavicle and side of the neck.
  • The platysma muscle protects the external jugular vein from external pressure.
  • The platysma muscle is responsible for supplying the breast with blood vessels.
  • The platysma muscle is responsible for wrinkling the skin of the neck when the angle of the mouth is pulled down. (correct)

Where does the platysma muscle originate from?

  • The platysma muscle originates from the base of the mandible and the skin over the posterior and lower part of the face.
  • The platysma muscle originates from the internal thoracic artery.
  • The platysma muscle originates from the clavicle and the side of the neck.
  • The platysma muscle originates from the deep fascia covering the pectoralis major. (correct)
