- Note: Gingiva contains collagen fibers, while alveolar mucosa has collagen, elastin & blood vessels
- Attached gingiva has no rete pegs
Metopic suture refers to ……
frontal suture (between the two frontals)
The free gingival groove is …..
the groove separating the free from the attached gingiva
The blood vessel with greatest smooth muscle thickness relative to its size is …….
arterioles
* Even more than Large arteries

vestibular lamina & dental lamina
Palatine tonsils & pharyngeal tonsils have afferent lymph vessels. T/F?
False
Lateral cleft of the upper lip is due to …..
failure in fusion of maxillary and medial nasal processes.
Most of the efferent & afferent fibers from the cerebral cortex traverse …….
the internal capsule
* Note that: The cerebral peduncles (Rt. & Lt.) make up the midbrain
Atlanto-occipital joint allows …….
flexion & extension (nodding)
* It is a synovial joint
The matrix secreted by the odontoblasts is …….
aminoacid with collagen fibers
* Not sure of this though
The superior alveolar nerves supply …….
the maxillary sinus, the max. gingiva & teeth
The reason elastin is more elastic than collagen is …….
it lack hydroxylysin
Shivering is ……
mechanism for heat production. Mediated by the hypothalamus

Myopia means the eyeball is ……, while hyperopia means ………
long (tx is concave lens)
short (tx is convex lens)
Skin water resistance is due to the presence of …….
keratin
Facial cleft occurs if ………. don’t fuse
maxillary prominence & lateral nasal process don’t fuse
* They form the nasolacrimal duct
The vertical part of the palatine bone forms ……..
part of the lateral nasal cavity wall
The laryngeal cartilage that extends between the arytenoid cartilage & the epiglottis is ……..
