25. Loss of muscle actions in muscles of facial expressions






26. Single bone - only movable bone of the face - many landmarks - largest and strongest facial bone - articulates with temporal bone to form TMJ






27. Area that is closer to the median plane of the body or structure






28. 2nd division of trigeminal nerve - sensory to maxilla and surrounding tissues - suicide nerve- can effect women 40+ years old on right side and causes excruciating pain (also called Tie Douleureaux or Trigeminal Neuralgia)






29. 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
