18. Erythrocytes






19. Area that is farther away from the median plane of the body






20. III cranial nerve - motor - movement of eyeball and dilation of pupils

22. Number of cranial bones






23. Paired - irregular thin plates of bone that forms the medial wall of the orbit - lacrimal glands (tear ducts) present @ the margin of this bone






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






25. Gasserion ganglion present - 3 divisions feeding eye - maxilla - and mandible






26. Bringing forward of the lower jaw

28. Structures closest to the tongue






29. Middle superior alveolar nerve






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

40. 3rd and largest division of trigeminal nerve - sensory and motor to mandible






41. Communication of a blood vessel with another blood vessel by a connecting channel






42. 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






43. Houses/forms sockets of teeth - bone on facial surface is thin - effected by perio dz - resorbs quickly after extraction - forms as deciduous teeth erupt






44. Chemical agen that is discharged to cause action of a muscle

46. Loss of funtion of the 6th cranial nerve


47. Posterior superior alveolar nerve






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