Q

The mandible is an ___________ joint, but is considered to be ____ structure. Fuses at the _________ or mandibular symphysis.

Point of chin is called the ________, and the corner of the mandible is the ________.

The ________ is the horizontal structure of the mandible and bifercates into the ________ and _________ processes. The mandibular _______ is in the middle

Landmarks for the mandibe incude the ________, angle, ________ line, ________ process (_______ for teeth), and _________ for digastric and geniohyoid muscles

A

The mandible is an amphiarthrodial joint, but is considered to be one structure. Fuses at the mental or mandibular symphysis.

Point of chin is called the menton, and the corner of the mandible is the angle.

The ramus is the horizontal structure of the mandible and bifercates into the condylar and coronoid processes. The mandibular notch is in the middle

Landmarks for the mandible incude the menton, angle, mylohyoid line, alveolar process (pockets for teeth), and protuberances for digastric and geniohyoid muscles

Q

The maxilla is ___ of your _______ palate (floor of nose and roof of mouth). It is technically _______.

It’s 4 processes are the ________, frontal, ________, and ________ processes.

The ______ of maxilla contains the K9 ________ (_______ for K9 teeth)

The ________ nasal ________ is the hard part inferior to the _________ and is an important _________ landmark

The ________ process is the horizontal ________ of the maxilla. The shelves _______ up and fuse together at ________ to form the ______ palate in a specific window of _______. This is the origin of _______ ________ (_______ process didn’t fuse in time).

The ________ process is ________ from the ________ bones (L-shaped posterior bony structure of hard palate).

A

The maxilla is 3/4 of your hard palate (floor of nose and roof of mouth). It is technically paired.

It’s 4 processes are the zygomatic, frontal, alveolar, and palatine processes.

The body of maxilla contains the K9 eminences (ridge for K9 teeth)

The anterior nasal spine is the hard part inferior to the columnella and is an important radiographic landmark

The palatine process is the horizontal shelf of the maxilla. The shelves swing up and fuse together at midline to form the hard palate in a specific window of time. This is the origin of cleft palate (palatine process didn’t fuse in time).

The palatine process is distinct from the palatine bones (L-shaped posterior bony structure of hard palate).

Q

The inferior nasal _______ is the largest and forms a portion of the lateral wall of the ______ cavities. A posterior view of the _______ look like breaking waves. This means more surface area of _______ to help _______ air

A

The inferior nasal concha is the largest and forms a portion of the lateral wall of the nasal cavities. A posterior view of the concha look like breaking waves. This means more surface area of mucosa to help humidify air
