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.
1. Single bone - bat-shaped - forms anterior base of the skull - has many foramens and processes - landmark- greater wing of sphenoid






2. Large vein on top of heart






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






4. Ropey saliva composition






5. All cranial nerves are ________






6. Also called a meniscus - attached to condyle on medial and lateral poles - shape conforms with shape of adjacent articulating bones - completely divides TMJ into 2 compartments - can be wrinking - torn - hardened - or detached on one end






7. Connects to aorta






8. Area closer to the median plane of the body






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






10. Lowering of the lower jaw






11. Pair bones Landmarks- Infraorbital foramen Processes- alveolar - zygomatic - frontal - and palatine






12. Vertical portion of mandible






13. Section of the body through any frontal plane






14. General term for any prominence on a bony surface






15. Occipital - frontal - parietal-paired - temporal- paired - sphenoid - ethmoid






16. 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






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






18. Type of body tissue that shortens under neural control - causing soft tissue and bony structures to move






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






20. 2 valves of the heart






21. Depression on one side of a lymph node where lymph flows out by way of an efferent lymphatic vessel






22. Secreted to specific locations by ducts; salivary and lacrimal glands






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






24. Portion of mandible that connects to the TMJ






25. Allows us to move - usually works in groups - 2 kinds- involuntary and voluntary






26. Anterior 2/3 of tongue






27. A band of fibrous tissue that connects bones






28. Forms part of cheekbone with zygomatic arch - often seen in panoramic and periapical films






29. Loss of action of the facial muscles






30. Cervical muscles - muscles of facial expression - muscles of mastication - muscles of tongue - muscles of the pharynx - muscles of the hyoid - muscles of the soft palate






31. Lymph node that drains lymph from a particular region






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






33. Artery to max premolars






34. Like a projection; an irregularly shaped extension named for where it is going






35. Mucole that appear in floor of mouth of major salivary glands






36. To join together; in the periodontium - a complex system of blood vessels supplies blood to the periodontal tissues






37. Type of lymphatic vessel in which lymph flows out of the lymph node in the area of the node's hilus






38. Mylohyoid nerve






39. 4 muscles of mastication






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






41. Both watery and ropey saliva composition combined






42. 2 accessory muscles of mastication






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






44. Single bone - forms back of head - landmark- foramen magnum






45. Smaller vein that drains the capillaries in the tissue area






46. Structure closest to the palate






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






48. Layers of soft tissue overlying the bones of the brain case






49. Loss of funtion of the 6th cranial nerve
