Dental Hygiene Boards Anatomy

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. Water saliva composition

10. 2 branches of autonomic nervous system






11. Foreign material or thrombus traveling in the blood that can block the vessel






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






13. Single bone - forms back of head - landmark- foramen magnum - (huge hole in this bone through which the spinal cord passes)






14. Inferior alveolar nerve






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






16. Towards the crown of a tooth






17. Shaded area of lips that is darker than surrounding skin






18. A band of fibrous tissue that connects bones






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






20. Bacteria traveling within the vascular system






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






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






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






24. Watery basis of blood composition






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






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






27. Region of the head that is lateral to the infraorbital region - overlies zygomatic arch (cheek bone)






28. Secreted into blood; hormones - such as thyroid and pituitary glands






29. Network of blood vessels - usually veins






30. Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve






31. Number of facial bones






32. Area closer to the median plane of the body






33. Paired bones - irregular thin plates of bone that forms the medial wall of the orbit (eye) - lacrimal (tear duct) glands are present @ the margin of these bones






34. Tip of tongue






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






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

39. Carries infor from the periphery of the body to brain or spinal cord






40. Structure closest to lips






41. Region of the head where the external ear is a prominent feature






42. Type of body tissue that shortens under neural control - causing soft tissue and bony structures to move






43. There are no ________ in the veins of the head and neck - which makes infection very easy to spread and to linger in an area






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






45. Single bone - only movable bone of the face - many landmarks - largest and strongest facial bone - articulates with temporal bone to form TMJ






46. Junction between 2 neurons or a neuron and muscle






47. Begins process of breaking food down into simple sugars in saliva
