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. Structures located toward the surface of the body






2. Control center - one of the major divisions of nervous system - composed of brain and spinal cord - surrounded by skull and spinal vertebrae for protection






3. Accumulation of neuron cell bodies outside the central nervous system






4. Single bone - only movable bone of face - many landmarks present - largest and strongest bone of face - articulates with temporal bone to form TMJ






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






6. IX nerve - primarily sens of taste - sensory and motor






7. Trauma to a blood vessel






8. II cranial nerve - sensory - sight and visual impluses






9. Water saliva composition






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






11. Area that faces toward the head of the body - away from the feet






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






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






14. Paired bones - irregular thin plates of bone that forms the medial wall of the orbit (eye) - lacrimal (tear duct) glands are present @ the margin of these bones






15. Muscle in the floor of the mouth - attaches to mylohyoid ridge






16. Vertical portion of mandible






17. Paired bones - landmark- infraorbital foramen - has processes with 4 different bones






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






19. Padding in between bones






20. Anterior 2/3 of tongue






21. 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






22. Transition zone betweek skin and vermillion zone






23. Towards the crown of a tooth






24. Prefix meaning too much

33. Characteristics that appear on a specific bone






34. Top posterior of tongue






35. A joint on each side of the ehad that allows for movement of the mandible - speech - and mastication - Location: where condyle of mandible articulates with the zygomatic process of the temporal bone






36. Buccal Nerve






37. Middle superior alveolar nerve






38. Artery to max molars






39. Area that is farther away from the median plane of the body or structure






40. Mylohyoid nerve






41. Front area of the body






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






43. Nerve supply to the periodontium






44. Single bone - midline bone int he cranium - part of nose - lies behind the frontal bone - between the eyes - part of floor of cranial base






45. Outer side of the wall of a hollow structure






46. Horizontal portion of mandible






47. Also known as trigeminal ganglion - Where the 3 division of trigeminal nerve meet






48. Type of blood vessel that travels to the heart - carrying blood






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






50. Innervates to the maxilla by the second branch and the mandible by the third branch - have sensory - motor - and intermediate roots that attach directly to the brain - responsible for the sensory sensibility of most of the skin of the front part of t
