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. 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






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






3. Muscle - origin- sphenoid bone - insertion- angle of mandible - medial surface - action- elevates mandible - forms sling with masseter; synergist with masseter






4. Part of lymphatic system that runs parallel to most veins in the body






5. Network of veins that comes together (paired)






6. Mono- - lymph- - leukocytes; varying types

8. Biggest artery in body






9. Middle superior alveolar nerve






10. Disorder involving one or both temporomandibular joints






11. Chemical agen that is discharged to cause action of a muscle






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






13. Bacteria traveling within the vascular system






14. Triangular area where medial and lateral views of the mandible come together - Provides support for patients with lower partial






15. 2 branches of nervous system






16. Also known as malar bone - forms cheek bone - forms zygomatic arch with temporal bone - 4 process form arch - often seen in panoramic and PAX






17. Large vein coming in from bottom of the heart






18. Watery basis of blood composition






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






20. Mucole that appear in floor of mouth of major salivary glands






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






22. Smaller blood vessel that branches off an arteriole to supply blood directly to tissue






23. Inferior alveolar nerve






24. V cranial nerve - sensory and motor - supplies most oral features and facial muscles - teeth - tongue - palate






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






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






27. Forms sockets of teeth






28. Structures on the opposite side of the body






29. Cellular component pertaining to nervous system






30. Occipital - frontal - parietal-paired - temporal- paired - sphenoid - ethmoid






31. Houses/forms sockets of teeth - bone on facial surface is thin - effected by perio dz - resorbs quickly after extraction - forms as deciduous teeth erupt






32. 2 branches of peripheral nervous system






33. Type of blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart






34. Artery to max molars






35. 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






36. Artery to max premolars






37. Resident microorganisms that usually do not cause infections






38. Generally immovable articulation in Which bones are joined by fibrous tissue






39. Decreased saliva flow






40. Loss of action of the facial muscles






41. Gasserion ganglion present - 3 divisions feeding eye - maxilla - and mandible






42. Runs from styloid process of temporal bone to the angle of the mandible - taut when mandible is protruded






43. 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






44. Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve






45. Paired bones - landmarks- mastoid process - styloid process - zygomatic process - external auditory meatus






46. Huge foramen in occipital bone through which the spinal cord passes






47. Paired sinuses located in frontal bone - separated by septum - drains into nasal cavity - irregularly shaped






48. A virus - microorganism - or other substance that causes dz






49. Number of cranial bones






50. Divides space between bones
