Iliac artery
C
Temporal artery
D
Sciatic artery

Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Iliac artery
Concept:

Systemic circulation branches sequentially to deliver oxygen to the lower extremities.

Formula:

None

Solution:

  • The massive descending abdominal aorta travels down the spine and ends by bifurcating (splitting in two) at the lower abdomen.


  • It splits into the right and left common iliac arteries.


  • These iliac arteries travel into the pelvis and eventually become the femoral arteries as they enter the thighs to supply the leg muscles.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Iliac vein: Returns deoxygenated blood; the question asks about arteries supplying blood.


  • Temporal artery: Located in the head/skull.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
