Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

18. Mono- - lymph- - leukocytes; varying types






19. Under tongue






20. Aiming area for palatal injections






21. Short - windowlike opening in the bone






22. Paired bones - irregular thin plates of bone that forms the medial wall of the orbit (eye) - lacrimal (tear duct) glands are present @ the margin of these bones






23. Horizontal portion of mandible






24. Vertical portion of mandible

30. Plane created by an imaginary line that divides the body @ any level into superior and inferior portions






31. Structures located toward the surface of the body






32. Oblique ridge - mental foramen - mandibular canal - alveolar process - mylohyoid grooves - mandibular foramen - lingula retromolar pad






33. Paired - most posterior part of the hard palate - they fuse together to form hard palate - greater palatine foramen located @ posterior lateral region

44. Point on upper lip where the philtrum terminates






45. Anterior 2/3 of tongue






46. Area used for mental block on lingual and opens into mental foramen

48. Paired - forms bridge of nose






49. Lymph node that drains lymph from a primary node






50. Paired glands lcoated inside the medial angle of mandible - walnut sized - Wharton's Duct - Mixed salivary compostion- 60-65% - Empties behind mandibular anterior teeth
