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. When the valve connection the left ventricle and left atrium is leaking






2. 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






3. Paired bones - forms bridge of the nose






4. Top posterior of tongue






5. Portion of mandible that connects to the TMJ






6. Characteristics that appear on a specific bone






7. Disorder involving one or both temporomandibular joints






8. Paired bones - forms upper back side of skull






9. Blood vessel that carries blood to heart - operates by valves






10. Articular fossa - articular eminence - condyle - articular disc - synovial fluid






11. Structure at the median plane






12. Area under nose that extends from nasal septum to the top of the lip






13. Structures on the opposite side of the body






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






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






16. Muscle of facial expression - origin- encircles the mouth - insertion- angle of mouth - actions: closes lips - pursing lips - rolling lips inward - puckering






17. Corners of mouth






18. Communication of a blood vessel with another blood vessel by a connecting channel






19. Biggest artery in body






20. Posterior superior alveolar nerve






21. Area closer to the median plane of the body






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






23. Area that faces away from the head and toward the feet of the body






24. Nerve supply to the periodontium






25. Back of an area of the body






26. Network of veins that comes together (paired)






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






28. Forms sockets of teeth






29. Buccal Nerve






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






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






32. XI nerve - synergist to Vagus nerve - Motor






33. Structures located inward - away from the body surface






34. IV cranial nerve - motor - movement of eyeball






35. Back of an area of the body






36. Opening or canal in the bone






37. Anterior 2/3 of tongue






38. Connects to common carotid arter






39. 2 branches of peripheral nervous system






40. Structures closest to the inner cheek






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






42. 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






43. Largest gland. paired. located in front of ear - outside of skull - under skin and muscle. Stenson's Duct. Serous secretions- 25% of total volume. Responsible for mumps






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






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






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






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






48. Network of blood vessels - usually veins






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






50. Blood vessel that carries blood away from heart - has muscles on inside of walls
