Sensations from the thoracic and abdominal organs are usually difficult to localize. They are conveyed by general visceral afferent (GVA) fibers, which synapse in which of the following nuclei?
Answer(s): D
GVA fibers from the thoracic and abdominal organs have their perikarya in the inferior vagal (nodose) ganglion and project to the solitary nucleus. The ambiguus nucleus (choice A) provides branchial efferent (motor) fibers to the stylopharyngeus, soft palate, pharyngeal, and laryngeal muscles. The dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (choice B) sends parasympathetic preganglionic fibers to the thoracic and abdominal viscera. The hypoglossal nucleus (choice C) provides motor innervation for the muscles of the tongue. The spinal (descending) trigeminal nucleus (choice E) receives pain and temperature fibers from the face area.
Corneal abrasions produce eye pain and excessive lacrimation. Which cranial nerve innervates the cornea?
Answer(s): A
The ophthalmic division of cranial nerve V (trigeminal) provides general sensory innervations to the eyeball, including the cornea. Cranial nerve II (optic, choice C) carries the visual function of the retina of the eye.Cranial nerves IV (trochlea, choice B) and VI (abducens, choice D) innervate the superior oblique and lateral rectus muscles, respectively. The innervation of all other extraocular muscles is performed by cranial nerve III (oculomotor, choice E).
The anterior two-thirds of the tongue differ from the posterior one-third of the tongue by its special visceral afferent (SVA; taste) innervation. The perikarya of neurons providing the sensation of taste in the anterior two-thirds of the tongue are found in which of the following?
SVA (taste) fibers have their perikarya in the geniculate ganglion located in the petrous portion of the temporal bone. These neurons project their axons to the gustatory nucleus in the brainstem. The otic ganglion (choice B) receives preganglionic parasympathetic fibers originating from the inferior salivatory nucleus by way of the ninth cranial (glossopharyngeal) nerve. In turn, it projects postganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the parotid salivary gland. The pterygopalatine (sphenopalatine) ganglion (choice C) is also a parasympathetic ganglion, which receives preganglionic fibers from the superior salivatory nucleus by way of the ninth cranial (glossopharyngeal) nerve. In turn, it sends postganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the lacrimal gland and mucous glands in the nose. The submandibular ganglion (choice D) receives preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the chorda tympani, a branch of the nervus intermedius which runs with the seventh cranial nerve. It innervates the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands. The trigeminal (gasserian) ganglion (choice E) receives sensations from the face, mucosa, cornea, teeth, gum, palate, and the anterior two- thirds of the tongue. It sends projections to the principal sensory and spinal trigeminal nuclei in the brainstem.
You are concerned that your patient may have compromised function of the mitral valve. The sound of the mitral valve is best heard at which of the following locations?
There is only one point of the heart that can be directly identified on the precordium: the apex. A cardiac impulse may be visible at the apex, and palpation over it confirms the presence of the apex beat. The apex is located in the left fifth intercostal space just medial to the midclavicular line, and is the point where the mitral valve is best heard. None of the heart sounds are best heard at the xiphisternal junction (choice B).The tricuspid valve is best heard in the fifth intercostal space to the right of the sternum (choice C). The pulmonary valve is best heard in the second intercostal space to the left of the sternum (choice D). The aortic valve is best heard in the second intercostals space to the right of the sternum (choice E).
A 14-year-old female patient complains of a severe sore throat and you use a cotton swab to obtain specimens for a culture. As you lightly touch the pharyngeal wall with the cotton swab, the patient gags. What is the location of neuronal cell bodies innervating pharyngeal constrictor muscles involved in the gag reflex?
Answer(s): B
Motor innervation of the pharyngeal constrictor muscles is derived from the ambiguous nucleus in the medulla oblongata. These motor fibers reach the constrictor muscles via the vagus nerve. The abducens nucleus (choice A) provides motor innervation to the lateral rectus muscle of the eye. The dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (choice C) provides preganglionic parasympathetic innervation for the organs of the thorax and abdomen. The facial nucleus (choice D) sends motor innervation to the muscles of facial expression and the stapedius. The hypoglossal nucleus (choice E) innervates the muscles of the tongue.

This is very good and accurate. Explanation is very helpful even thou some are not 100% right but good enough to pass.
The DP-900 exam can be tricky if you aren't familiar with Microsoft’s specific cloud terminology. I used the practice questions from free-braindumps.com and found them incredibly helpful. The site breaks down core data concepts and Azure services in a way that actually mirrors the real test. As a resutl I passed my exam.
interesting
Passed this exam 2 days ago. These questions are in the exam. You are safe to use them.
Helpful to test your preparedness before giving exam
Really helped
Good explanation
very helpful

Great questions.
great dumps to practice for the exam
How reliable and relevant are these questions?? also i can see the last update here was January and definitely new questions would have emerged.
Can I trust to this source?
can you please provide the CBDA latest test preparation
This is the best and only way of passing this exam as it is extremely hard. Good questions and valid dump.
Can I use this dumps when I am taking the exam? I mean does somebody look what tabs or windows I have opened ?
Finally got a change to write this exam and pass it! Valid and accurate!
Upload this exam please!
Thank you for providing these questions. It helped me a lot with passing my exam.
my first attempt
very explainable
