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.

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






22. Large amounts of blood that escape into the surroudning tissue without clotting - when a blood vessel is seriously injured

24. Artery to #6-11






25. Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve






26. Paired bones - most posterior part of the hard palate - 2 bones fuse together @ the midline to form the hard palate - greater palatine foramen located @ posterior lateral region
