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. Bringing backward of the lower jaw






2. Lingual Nerve






3. Structures closest to the inner cheek






4. 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)






5. Paired bones - forms upper back side of skull






6. Foreign material or thrombus traveling in the blood that can block the vessel






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






8. Area where the bones are joined to each other






9. Large vein on top of heart






10. Shuts down communication of nerves and neurons by blocking the chemicals from entering at the synapses






11. I cranial nerve - sensory - sense of smell






12. Back of an area of the body






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






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






15. Number of bones in the skull






16. Characteristics that appear on a specific bone






17. Short canal leading to the tympanic cavity






18. Lymph node that drains lymph from a primary node






19. Artery to tongue






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






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






22. Structures on the same side of the body






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






24. Secreted into blood; hormones - such as thyroid and pituitary glands






25. Paired bones withing the body part of the nose - lateral portion of nasal septum






26. Number of cranial bones






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






28. TMJ Located lateral side of each joint forms a reinforcement of the capsule of the TMJ - Prevents excessive retraction of the mandible






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






30. Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve






31. Paired bones - within the bony part of the nose - lateral portion of the nasal septum






32. Junction between 2 neurons or a neuron and muscle






33. Structures closest to the tongue






34. Vertical portion of mandible






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






36. Network of veins that comes together (paired)






37. Stone formed in glands - cause by minerals in saliva - causes facial swelling with recurrence with little pain - pt placed on antibiotic and sugar-free lemon drops to increase salivary flow - Oral surgeon can remove stone or part of gland if necessar






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






39. Type of unilateral facial paralysis involving the facial nerve

42. Lowering of the lower jaw






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






44. Carries messages to the brain and carries messages from brain part of central nervous system






45. Pointed end of a conical structure






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






47. Padding in between bones






48. Artery to max premolars






49. Pair bones Landmarks- Infraorbital foramen Processes- alveolar - zygomatic - frontal - and palatine






50. Type of injection that anesthetizes a small area- one or two teeth and associated structures- when the local anesthetic agent is deposited near nerminal nerve endings
