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.

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

10. 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






11. Both watery and ropey saliva composition combined






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






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






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






15. Several arteries branch directly off the aorta to feed the _____________






16. Resident microorganisms that usually do not cause infections






17. Portion of mandible that connects to the TMJ






18. Pointed end of a conical structure






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






20. Gasserion ganglion present - 3 divisions feeding eye - maxilla - and mandible






21. Paired bones - within the bony part of the nose - lateral portion of the nasal septum






22. Structures closest to the facial surface






23. Paired glands located in the anterior floor of mouth under the tongue - smallest gland with many ducts - mixed salivay composition - but predominantly mucous- 10% volume






24. Mylohyoid nerve






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






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






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






28. Normal flora creating an infectious process because the body's defenses are compromised






29. Also known as malar bone - forms cheek bone - forms zygomatic arch with temporal bone - 4 process form arch - often seen in panoramic and PAX






30. Smaller blood vessel that branches off an arteriole to supply blood directly to tissue






31. 1st and smallest division of trigeminal nerve - carries sensory information to brain - sensory for eyeball - cornea - and forehead






32. Smallest structural unit of living matter capable of functioning independently






33. Number of cranial bones






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






35. 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






36. Back of an area of the body






37. Shuts down communication of nerves and neurons by blocking the chemicals from entering at the synapses






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






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






40. Paired bones - landmarks- mastoid process - styloid process - zygomatic process - external auditory meatus






41. III cranial nerve - motor - movement of eyeball and dilation of pupils






42. 'rest or digest' responses






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






44. Connects to aorta






45. 4 bones with processes attaching to maxilla






46. 2 branches of nervous system






47. Inferior alveolar nerve






48. Vertical portion of mandible






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






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