2. 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

10. Part of lymphatic system that runs parallel to most veins in the body






11. Area where the bones are joined to each other

14. Muscle in the floor of the mouth - attaches to mylohyoid ridge






15. Position in which the body is erect - with arms @ the sides - plams and toes directed forward - and eyes looking forward






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






17. 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






18. Portion of mandible that connects to the TMJ






19. Structure closest to lips






20. Loss of action of the facial muscles






21. Also known as trigeminal ganglion - Where the 3 division of trigeminal nerve meet






22. 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






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






24. Only vein that carries oxygenated blood






25. Paired - forms bridge of nose






26. Posterior superior alveolar nerve






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






28. Artery to mandible






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






30. Results from incomplete fusion of the maxillary bones at palatine process - open area that can involve from no teeth to involving teeth - palate - lip - and nasal - can involve pedodontist - oral surgeon - and pediatrician some appliances may be need

33. Artery to #6-11






34. Connects anterior superior alveolar artery and middle superior alveolar arter to the maxillary artery






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






36. Area that is farther away from the median plane of the body or structure






37. Muscle - origin- sphenoid bone - insertion- angle of mandible - medial surface - action- elevates mandible - forms sling with masseter; synergist with masseter






38. Muscle of facial expression - helps mastication by keeping food on the chewing surface - cheek muscle






39. Number of bones in the skull






40. Structures on the opposite side of the body






41. 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






42. Divides space between bones






43. Runs from styloid process of temporal bone to the angle of the mandible - taut when mandible is protruded






44. Muscle - origin- several different places on sphenoid - insertion- condyle - near TMJ - action- protrudes and lateral deviation of mandible - fibers run horizontally






45. 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






46. XI nerve - synergist to Vagus nerve - Motor






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