1. Mylohyoid nerve






2. Causes muscles to contract - stimulates glands - allows for sensations to be perceived






3. Movement accomplished by a muscle when the muscle fibers contract






4. Paired bones - forms upper back side of skull






5. Structure closest to the palate






6. Structures located inward - away from the body surface






7. Bringing backward of the lower jaw






8. 2 valves of the heart






9. Protect - support - basis for movement - consideration in spread of dental infections






10. II cranial nerve - sensory - sight and visual impluses






11. Structures located toward the surface of the body






12. Artery to mandible






13. Horizontal portion of mandible






14. Provides ventilation to head - lightens skull - drainage - acts as sound resonators - provides mucous for nasal cavity - can be involved with allergies or infection as in primary sinusitis or in tooth infection as in secondary sinusitis






15. Paired bones - forms bridge of the nose






16. Resident microorganisms that usually do not cause infections






17. Lymph node that drains lymph from a particular region






18. Paired sinuses located in frontal bone - separated by septum - drains into nasal cavity - irregularly shaped






19. Area closer to the median plane of the body






20. Inferior alveolar nerve






21. Type of injection that anesthetizes a small area- one or two teeth and associated structures- when the local anesthetic agent is deposited near nerminal nerve endings






22. Single bone - forms the forehead and the top of the eye - contains supraorbital notch - location of frontal sinuses






23. Tube through which sound waves are transmitted to the middlbe ear within the skull






24. Biggest artery in body






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






26. Begins process of breaking food down into simple sugars in saliva






27. Vertical portion of mandible






28. Area that faces away from the head and toward the feet of the body






29. Spread of cancer from primary location - once cancer enters lymphatic system - it can enter the blood stream and spread






30. Paired bones - landmark- infraorbital foramen - has processes with 4 different bones






31. Stone formed in glands - cause by minerals in saliva - causes facial swelling with recurrence with little pain - pt placed on antibiotic and sugar-free lemon drops to increase salivary flow - Oral surgeon can remove stone or part of gland if necessar






32. Bacteria traveling within the vascular system






33. Top posterior of tongue






34. Area that faces toward the head of the body - away from the feet






35. TMJ Located lateral side of each joint forms a reinforcement of the capsule of the TMJ - Prevents excessive retraction of the mandible






36. XII nerve - primarily tongue movement - motor






37. Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve






38. Section of the body through any frontal plane






39. Type of injection that anesthetizes a larger area than local infiltration because the local anesthetic agen is deposited near large nerve trunks






40. Single bone - forms the forehead and top of the eye - has supraorbital notch






41. Both watery and ropey saliva composition combined






42. Corners of mouth






43. Single bone - midline bone of cranium - part of nose - lies behind the frontal bone - between the eyes






44. Main portion of the anterior border of ramus






45. Paired glands located in the anterior floor of mouth under the tongue - smallest gland with many ducts - mixed salivay composition - but predominantly mucous- 10% volume






46. Paired - forms bridge of nose






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






48. End of the muscle that is attached to the least movable structure






49. VII nerve - muscles of facial expression - tear glands - salivary glands - sensory and motor






50. Mineralized structures of the body that protect internal soft tissues and serve as the biomechanical basis for movement
