34. VIII nerve - hearing and balance - also known as auditory or vestibular cochlear - sensory and motor






35. Swelling of lymph nodes :abnormal enlargement' - can be helped with antibiotic






36. Generally immovable articulation in Which bones are joined by fibrous tissue






37. V- trigeminal - VII- facial






38. 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






39. 2nd division of trigeminal nerve - sensory to maxilla and surrounding tissues - suicide nerve- can effect women 40+ years old on right side and causes excruciating pain (also called Tie Douleureaux or Trigeminal Neuralgia)






40. Region of the head located inferior to the orbial region and lateral to the nasal region






41. Area that is closer to the median plane of the body or structure

43. Lingual Nerve






44. Plane created by an imaginary line that divides the body into right and left halves






45. Paired bones - most posterior part of the hard palate - 2 bones fuse together @ the midline to form the hard palate - greater palatine foramen located @ posterior lateral region






46. Normal flora creating an infectious process because the body's defenses are compromised






47. Blood vessel that carries blood away from heart - has muscles on inside of walls






48. There are no ________ in the veins of the head and neck - which makes infection very easy to spread and to linger in an area
