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.

20. Area closer to the median plane of the body






21. Tiny blood vessel that branches off small artery to supple blood to tissue






22. 'flight or flight' responses






23. Single bone - forms the forehead and the top of the eye - contains supraorbital notch - location of frontal sinuses

42. Large vein coming in from bottom of the heart






43. Horizontal portion of mandible






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






45. Vomer - lacrimal bones- paired - inferior nasal conchae- paired - zygomatic bones- paired - maxillary bones- paired - mandible
