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. Carries info away from brain/spinal cord to the body - (info from brain)






2. Ropey saliva composition






3. The narrowing and blockage of the arteries by a buildup of plaque






4. Short - windowlike opening in the bone






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






6. 4 muscles of mastication






7. Connects to aorta






8. Causes muscles to contract - stimulates glands - allows for sensations to be perceived






9. Strong muscle in the buccal region Which is felt when a patient clenches the teeth together






10. Structures closest to the facial surface






11. Middle superior alveolar nerve






12. 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






13. Large amounts of blood that escape into the surroudning tissue without clotting - when a blood vessel is seriously injured






14. Artery to max premolars






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






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






17. Bruise that results when a blood vessel is injured and a small amount of blood escapes into the surrounding tissue and clots






18. Bacteria traveling within the vascular system






19. Blockage of minor salivary gland - occurs mainly in lip - about the size of a dime - must be removed






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






21. 3rd and largest division of trigeminal nerve - sensory and motor to mandible






22. Feeds all area of face. connects to external carotid artery






23. Single bone - bat-shaped - forms anterior base of the skull - has many foramens and processes - landmark- greater wing of sphenoid






24. Depression and elevation of jaw - occurs between disc and condyle of lower synovial cavity






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






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






27. 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






28. Dislocation of joints






29. Area used for mental block on lingual and opens into mental foramen






30. Forms sockets of teeth






31. Resident microorganisms that usually do not cause infections






32. Structure at the median plane






33. Section of the body through any horizontal plane






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






35. 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






36. Biggest artery in body






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






38. Paired bones - forms bridge of the nose






39. Joint located inferior to the zygomatic arch and just anterior to the ear - where upper skull forms a joint with the lower jaw






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






41. Artery to mandible






42. Shifting of the lower jaw to one side






43. Front area of the body






44. Inside of the mouth






45. 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






46. Fuses with frontal bone facially






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






48. Water saliva composition






49. Type of lymphatic vessel in which lymph flows out of the lymph node in the area of the node's hilus






50. Loss of funtion of the 6th cranial nerve
