 Ansa cervicalis is a thin nerve loop that lies
embedded in the anterior wall of the carotid sheath.
 It supplies sternohyoid, sternothyroid and inferior
belly of omohyoid.
 Fibers of the superior root are derived from the first
cervical nerve.

98. Which of the following muscle is supplied by

the anterior division of mandibular nerve?
A. Medial pterygoid
B. Lateral pterygoid
C. Mylohyoid
D. Anterior belly of digastric
Correct answer : B. Lateral pterygoid
 Anterior division of mandibular nerve
supplies lateral
pterygoid, masseter and temporalis.
 Medial pterygoid is supplied by the nerve to medial
pterygoid which arises from the main trunk of the
mandibular nerve.
 Mylohyoid and the anterior belly of digastric are
supplied by the inferior alveolar nerve. Inferior
alveolar nerve is the larger terminal branch of the
posterior division of the mandibular nerve.

99. All are true regarding axillary artery except?

A. It is a continuation of subclavian artery.
B. It is crossed by pectoralis minor
muscle.
C. It extends from outer border of second
rib to the lower border of teres minor.
D. The second part of part of axillary
artery is posterior to pectoralis minor
muscle.
Correct answer : C. It extends from outer
border of second rib to the lower border of
teres minor.
 Axillary artery extends from outer border of first
rib to the lower border of teres major.
 Pectoralis minor crosses the axillary artery and
divides it into 3 parts.
 First part – superior to the muscle.
 Second part – posterior to the muscle.
 Third part – inferior to the muscle.
