3. Bringing backward of the lower jaw






4. XI nerve - synergist to Vagus nerve - Motor






5. Innervates to the maxilla by the second branch and the mandible by the third branch - have sensory - motor - and intermediate roots that attach directly to the brain - responsible for the sensory sensibility of most of the skin of the front part of t






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






7. Oblique ridge - mental foramen - mandibular canal - alveolar process - mylohyoid grooves - mandibular foramen - lingula retromolar pad






8. Section of the body through any frontal plane






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






10. Only artery that carries deoxygenated blood - carries it to the lungs






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






12. Anterior 2/3 of tongue






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






14. A joint on each side of the ehad that allows for movement of the mandible - speech - and mastication - Location: where condyle of mandible articulates with the zygomatic process of the temporal bone






15. Corners of mouth






16. Short canal leading to the tympanic cavity






17. Portion of mandible that connects to the TMJ






18. Single bone - forms back of head - landmark- foramen magnum






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






20. Located in the ethmoid bone - cannot be palpated in oral exam






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






22. Connects anterior superior alveolar artery and middle superior alveolar arter to the maxillary artery






23. Artery to mandible






24. Junction between 2 neurons or a neuron and muscle






25. IV cranial nerve - motor - movement of eyeball






26. Bringing forward of the lower jaw






27. Muscle - origin- several different places on sphenoid - insertion- condyle - near TMJ - action- protrudes and lateral deviation of mandible - fibers run horizontally






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






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






30. Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve






31. Pointed end of a conical structure






32. Structures located inward - away from the body surface






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






34. Aiming area for palatal injections






35. 'rest or digest' responses






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






37. 4 bones with processes attaching to maxilla






38. Forms sockets of teeth






39. 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






40. Posterior 1/3 of tongue






41. 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






42. Also known as cribriform plate - thin layer of bone that lines the socket to surround the root of the tooth






43. Plane created by an imaginary line that divides the body at any level into anterior and posterior portions






44. Horizontal portion of mandible






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






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






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






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






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






50. Spread of cancer from primary location - once cancer enters lymphatic system - it can enter the blood stream and spread
