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. Provides ventilation to head - lightens skull - drainage - acts as sound resonators - provides mucous for nasal cavity - can be involved with allergies or infection as in primary sinusitis or in tooth infection as in secondary sinusitis






2. Begins process of breaking food down into simple sugars in saliva






3. Abnormal sensation from an area such as burning or prickling






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






5. Inside of the mouth






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






7. Outer side of the wall of a hollow structure






8. The loss of feeling or sensation resulting from the use of certain drugs or gases that seruve as inhibitory neurotransmitters






9. Divides space between bones






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






11. 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






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






13. Structures located inward - away from the body surface






14. Plane created by an imaginary line that divides the body into right and left halves






15. Type of body tissue that shortens under neural control - causing soft tissue and bony structures to move






16. VI cranial nerve - motor - movement of eyeball






17. I cranial nerve - sensory - sense of smell






18. Filters toxins and other foreign bodies out of body - typically green in diagrams - has valve system similar to veins






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






20. Area where the bones are joined to each other






21. The bone that surrounds the roots of the teeth. It forms the bony sockets that support and protect the roots of the teeth






22. Sensory nerve that carries information from the periphery of the body to the brain or spinal cord






23. Buccal Nerve






24. Mineralized structures of the body that protect internal soft tissues and serve as the biomechanical basis for movement






25. Artery to tongue






26. Muscle of facial expression - origin- encircles the mouth - insertion- angle of mouth - actions: closes lips - pursing lips - rolling lips inward - puckering






27. Not part of TMJ - but rather on the medial side of the mandible - Attaches @ spine of sphenoid bone to the lingual of the mandibular foramen - becomes taut when mandible is protruded






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






29. Shaded area of lips that is darker than surrounding skin






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






31. Bacteria traveling within the vascular system






32. Nerve supply to the periodontium






33. 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






34. Loss of action of the facial muscles






35. Portion of mandible that connects to the TMJ






36. 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






37. 1st and smallest division of trigeminal nerve - carries sensory information to brain - sensory for eyeball - cornea - and forehead






38. Any plane of the body created by an imaginary plane parallel with the median plane






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






40. Paired - forms bridge of nose






41. VIII nerve - hearing and balance - also known as auditory or vestibular cochlear - sensory and motor






42. Paired bones - forms bridge of the nose






43. Articular fossa - articular eminence - condyle - articular disc - synovial fluid






44. Section of the body through any horizontal plane






45. Paired bones - forms upper back side of skull






46. Results from incomplete fusion of the maxillary bones at palatine process - open area that can involve from no teeth to involving teeth - palate - lip - and nasal - can involve pedodontist - oral surgeon - and pediatrician some appliances may be need






47. Structure at the median plane






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






49. Horizontal portion of mandible






50. V- trigeminal - VII- facial
