37. XII nerve - primarily tongue movement - motor






38. 2 places where bones grow at






39. Number of bones in the skull

44. Dislocation of joints






45. Bruise that results when a blood vessel is injured and a small amount of blood escapes into the surrounding tissue and clots






46. 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)






47. Front area of the body






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