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. Section of the body through any frontal plane






2. Paired bones - forms upper back side of skull






3. 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






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






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






6. Disorder involving one or both temporomandibular joints






7. Forms hard palate - fuses in teh middle at suture line - If fusion doesn't occur - cleft palate forms






8. Tip of tongue






9. Junction between 2 neurons or a neuron and muscle






10. A band of fibrous tissue that connects bones






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






12. X nerve - vocal cords - heart - respiration - digestion - autonomic nervous system - sensory and motor






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






14. Singe bone - bat-shaped - forms anterior base of skull - many foramen and processes - landmark- greater wing of sphenoid






15. Several arteries branch directly off the aorta to feed the _____________






16. Also known as malar bone - forms cheek bone - helps form zygomatic arch - paired






17. 4 muscles of mastication






18. Structures located toward the surface of the body






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






20. Structures closest to the inner cheek






21. Network of veins that comes together (paired)






22. 'flight or flight' responses






23. 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






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






25. Portion of mandible that connects to the TMJ






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






27. Front area of the body






28. Paired glands located in the anterior floor of mouth under the tongue - smallest gland with many ducts - mixed salivay composition - but predominantly mucous- 10% volume






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






30. Watery basis of blood composition






31. Network of blood vessels - usually veins






32. Secreted into blood; hormones - such as thyroid and pituitary glands






33. 3rd and largest division of trigeminal nerve - sensory and motor to mandible






34. Area under nose that extends from nasal septum to the top of the lip






35. Carries messages to the brain and carries messages from brain part of central nervous system






36. Artery to #6-11






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






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






39. 4 bones with processes attaching to maxilla






40. Structures on the opposite side of the body






41. Paired - most posterior part of the hard palate - they fuse together to form hard palate - greater palatine foramen located @ posterior lateral region






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






43. When atherosclerosis occurs in arteries leading to the heart






44. Paired bones - forms upper back side of skull






45. Structures located inward - away from the body surface






46. Number of facial bones






47. Artery to mandible






48. Paired glands lcoated inside the medial angle of mandible - walnut sized - Wharton's Duct - Mixed salivary compostion- 60-65% - Empties behind mandibular anterior teeth






49. 2 branches of nervous system






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