ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY.

Examiners, Mr. KIERNAN and Prófessor SHARPEY.

Morning, 10 to 1.

1. THE bones of the face and the ethmoid being removed, describe that portion of the basis of the Cranium included between the superciliary ridges of the frontal bone in front, a line extending between the mastoid processes, and in front of the condyles of the occipital bone, behind, and laterally between lines drawn from the external orbital processes of the frontal to the mastoid processes. First mention the bones, and those portions of them which enter into the formation of the part to be described; then commence the description at the superciliary ridges, and describe the surfaces, sutures, processes and foramina, in the order in which they are met with, mentioning the muscles when describing the parts to which they are attached. What is the mode of development of the frontal and occipital bones, and in what condition are these bones at birth?

2. Commencing at the integuments, give an account of the parts successively exposed in the dissection required to display the structures entering into the formation of the Inguinal and Femoral Canals: the answer to include a description of the appearances seen on the inside after removing the peritoneum, with an account of the spermatic cord, and of any varieties in the origin and course of the obturator artery which relate to the subject of the question.

3. Describe the steps of the dissection required to display, -1st, the course of the Radial Artery, from its origin to the point at which it disappears between the metacarpal bones of the thumb and fore-finger, and of the branches given off in this part of its course; 2nd, the course of the Posterior Tibial Artery from its origin to its division into the plantar arteries, and of its branches, as far as they can be seen on the back of the leg. The parts are to be described in the order in which they are met with, and all the relations of the vessels are to be mentioned.

4. Give an account of the Diaphragm and of its uses, mentioning the muscles which act in concert with it. Describe the origin, course and distribution of its vessels and

nerves.

5. Describe the Cartilages of the Larynx, and their mode of connexion with each other.

Afternoon, 3 to 6.

1. Give an account of the Joints formed by the Radius and Ulna with other bones, and with each other; the answer to include a description of the articular surfaces of the several bones, and of the cartilages, synovial membranes and ligaments. Describe the movements which take place in these joints, mentioning the muscles by which they are effected, and the classes of joints to which they belong. In what respects do the movements which take place in these

joints differ from those which take place in the corresponding joints of the leg?

2. Describe the parts met with in dissecting a portion of the posterior region of the trunk, included within three lines corresponding to the borders of the latissimus dorsi muscle ; the dissection to be carried down to the vertebræ and quadratus lumborum.

3. Give the dissection required to expose the Subscapular Artery and its branches, describing the parts met with in the dissection as far as they are necessarily brought into view.

4. Give the anatomy of the Prostate Gland, describing its form, size, situation, connexions and structure, with the part of the urethra which passes through it.

5. Describe the position and structure of the Heart and Pericardium. Give a brief account of the passage of the blood through the cavities of the heart, and of its entrance into the aorta and pulmonary artery; and of the contractions, impulse and sounds of the organ.

6. Give an account of the structure, physical properties and chemical composition of Cartilage and Fibro-cartilage, distinguishing their several varieties.

TUESDAY, August 5.-Morning, 10 to 1.

CHEMISTRY.

Examiner, Professor Brande.

1. State the theory of latent heat, and illustrate it by the details of BLACK's experiments on the freezing of water and thawing of ice; and on the formation and condensation of steam. Explain the meaning of the term specific heat, and describe the modes of determining the "capacities of bodies for heat."

2. Describe the action of the common electrical machine,

and the theory of the reception and retention of the charge by the respective conductors.

3. Explain the formation of a simple and of a compound VOLTAIC Circuit-the theory of their action; and the phænomena of the electro-chemical decomposition of water, and of solutions of sulphate of soda and sulphate of copper.

4. What is meant by the terms "atomic weights,” and "equivalents" of bodies? How are atomic weights determined? What are the arguments for and against the adoption of whole numbers as representing chemical equivalents; and what are the equivalents upon the hydrogen scale, and what the respective specific gravities (air =1) of the following gases and vapours :-oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, iodine, carbonic oxide, carbonic acid, sulphurous acid, cyanogen, ammonia ?

5. What is ammonia?

What relations does it bear to the theory of ammonium and of amidogen? What are the accepted proofs of the existence of the two last-mentioned compounds? What are the ultimate elements of sulphate of ammonia, and how may its proximate constitution be represented in reference to the different theories?

6. Represent in symbols the ultimate and the proximate composition of ferrocyanide of potassium, and of the precipitates which it occasions in solutions of the oxides of silver and lead, and of peroxide of iron.

7. What are the principal elements of organic bodies? How may they be qualitatively and quantitatively determined?

8. What are the ultimate constituents of the common varieties of coal? What are the principal products of their destructive distillation as carried on for the production of coal-gas? and how are those products separated?

9. What is protein? What are the principal organic products which afford it; and with what elementary substances is it usually associated?

10. Draw a comparison between the chemical physiology of vegetables and that of animals.

The bottles marked A, B and C contain certain saline solutions they are accompanied by appropriate tests by which the nature of their respective bases and acids may be recognised-you are requested to name these, and to write their respective symbols and equivalents.
