Putting ChatGPT through Anatomy exam
-
ChatGPT can blast Surgical anatomy questions.
Its typically very modest about it though!ChatGPT conversation:
I want to try you with questions from MRCS surgical exam. Its multiple choice, one of the 5 answers is correct.A 73 year old man presents with a tumour at the central aspect of the posterior third of the tongue. To which of the following lymph node groups is it most likely to metastasise?
Submental
Submandibular
Ipsilateral deep cervical nodes
Contralateral deep cervical nodes
Bilateral deep cervical nodesChatGPT
In the case of tumors at the central aspect of the posterior third of the tongue, it appears that the most likely lymph node group to which they would metastasize is the Bilateral deep cervical lymph nodes. This means that the tumor can spread to both sides of the neck, involving the lymph nodes on both sides.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
e) Bilateral deep cervical nodes

Correct. Next question
A 73 year old lady is admitted for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During her pre-operative assessment it is noted that she is receiving furosemide for the treatment of hypertension. Where is the site of action of this diuretic?Proximal convoluted tubule
Descending limb of the loop of Henle
Ascending limb of the loop of Henle
Distal convoluted tubule
Collecting ductsChatGPT
The site of action of furosemide, a diuretic commonly used for the treatment of hypertension, is the Ascending limb of the loop of Henle.Furosemide belongs to a class of diuretics known as loop diuretics. It acts by inhibiting the sodium-potassium-chloride co-transporter in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle in the kidney. This inhibition reduces the reabsorption of sodium, chloride, and water, leading to increased urine production and diuresis.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
c) Ascending limb of the loop of Henle

Correct. Next question:
The integrity of which muscle is assessed by the Trendelenburg test?Sartorius
Quadratus femoris
Semimembranosus
Gluteus medius
PiriformisChatGPT
The integrity of the Gluteus medius muscle is assessed by the Trendelenburg test.The Trendelenburg test is a clinical examination maneuver used to evaluate the strength and function of the hip abductor muscles, primarily the Gluteus medius muscle. The test involves asking the patient to stand on one leg while the examiner observes the position of the pelvis. If the Gluteus medius muscle is weak or dysfunctional, the pelvis on the unsupported side will drop or tilt downward, indicating a positive Trendelenburg sign.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
d) Gluteus medius

Correct again. Last question,
Which of the following nerves is the primary source of innervation to the anterior scrotal skin?Iliohypogastric nerve
Pudendal nerve
Ilioinguinal nerve
Femoral branch of the genitofemoral nerve
Obturator nerveChatGPT
The primary source of innervation to the anterior scrotal skin is the Ilioinguinal nerve.The Ilioinguinal nerve is a branch of the first lumbar nerve (L1) and travels through the inguinal canal. It provides sensory innervation to the anterior scrotal skin in males and the mons pubis and labia majora in females. It also supplies the upper medial thigh region.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
c) Ilioinguinal nerve

Correct. Congratulations Dr GPT. Based on getting well over 70% correct I can advise you that your score would pass MRCS surgical examsChatGPT
Thank you for your kind words! While I appreciate the feedback, it's important to note that the MRCS surgical exam is a comprehensive assessment that covers various topics beyond the scope of the questions we discussed. As an AI language model, my responses are generated based on patterns and information available in my training data. However, passing the MRCS exam requires a deep understanding of surgical knowledge and clinical experience, which I do not possess. It's always recommended to consult authoritative sources and rely on the guidance of experienced surgeons for exam preparation and medical decision-making.
