2. Like a projection; an irregularly shaped extension named for where it is going






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

11. Area where the bones are joined to each other






12. IV cranial nerve - motor - movement of eyeball






13. Artery to mandible






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

18. End of the muscle that is attatched to the more movable structure






19. Control center - one of the major divisions of nervous system - composed of brain and spinal cord - surrounded by skull and spinal vertebrae for protection






20. Front area of the body

27. X nerve - vocal cords - heart - respiration - digestion - autonomic nervous system - sensory and motor






28. Huge foramen in occipital bone through which the spinal cord passes






29. Single bone - also known as nasal septum - forms midline of nose - not important to oral cavity - forms inferior portion of nasal septum






30. Paired glands lcoated inside the medial angle of mandible - walnut sized - Wharton's Duct - Mixed salivary compostion- 60-65% - Empties behind mandibular anterior teeth






31. Paired bones - forms bridge of the nose






32. Horizontal portion of mandible

38. Lymph node that drains lymph from a primary node






39. Bringing forward of the lower jaw






40. Structure at the median plane






41. Artery to #6-11






42. 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

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






45. Bringing backward of the lower jaw






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






47. Nerve supply to the periodontium






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






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






50. Opening or canal in the bone
