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.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

2. Some Say Marry Money - But My Brother Says - Bad Business - Marry Money






3. Lymph node that drains lymph from a particular region






4. Important part of blood composition for clotting






5. Paired bones withing the body part of the nose - lateral portion of nasal septum






6. Largest endocrine glandthyroxine - should be part of extraoral exam- palpate - goiter- inflammed neck - responsible for metabolic rate and temp- control






7. Posterior 1/3 of tongue






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






9. Artery to max premolars






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






11. Bacteria traveling within the vascular system






12. Connects to common carotid arter

14. Both watery and ropey saliva composition combined






15. Abnormal sensation from an area such as burning or prickling






16. 4 muscles of mastication






17. Paired - forms bridge of nose






18. Only artery that carries deoxygenated blood - carries it to the lungs






19. Front area of the body






20. Also known as cribriform plate - thin layer of bone that lines the socket to surround the root of the tooth






21. Single bone - also known as nasal septum - forms midline of nose - not important to oral cavity - forms inferior portion of nasal septum






22. Allows jaw to move forward and backward - occurs between disk and articular eminence in the upper synovial cavity






23. Transition zone betweek skin and vermillion zone






24. Paired bones - forms upper back side of skull






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






26. Foreign material or thrombus traveling in the blood that can block the vessel






27. End of the muscle that is attatched to the more movable structure






28. Largest of paranasal sinuses - paired - located within the maxilla - Significant to dentistry with max post exts-perforation - max sinus infections - implant placements/sinus lifts - and with air travel- with infection - descension is painful






29. A joint on each side of the ehad that allows for movement of the mandible - speech - and mastication - Location: where condyle of mandible articulates with the zygomatic process of the temporal bone






30. Artery to #6-11






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






32. Strong muscle in the buccal region Which is felt when a patient clenches the teeth together






33. Rising of the lower jaw






34. Single bone - also known as nasal septum - forms midline of nose - not important to oral cavity - forms inferior portion of nasal septum






35. Control center - one of the major divisions of nervous system - composed of brain and spinal cord - surrounded by skull and spinal vertebrae for protection






36. XII nerve - primarily tongue movement - motor






37. Not part of TMJ - but rather on the medial side of the mandible - Attaches @ spine of sphenoid bone to the lingual of the mandibular foramen - becomes taut when mandible is protruded






38. Buccal Nerve






39. Muscle auto-responses from body - ex: breathing - digestion - heartbeat - eyes






40. 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






41. Section of the body through any horizontal plane






42. Carries info away from brain/spinal cord to the body - (info from brain)






43. Back of an area of the body






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






45. Large vein coming in from bottom of the heart






46. 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






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






48. Single bone - forms back of head - landmark- foramen magnum - (huge hole in this bone through which the spinal cord passes)






49. Loss of funtion of the 6th cranial nerve
