PreTest Flashcards
Three bones make up the hard palate or roof of the mouth they are:
premaxilla, maxilla, palatine bone
The midline protrusion at the most posterior aspect of the hard palate is called
posterior nasal spine
The muscle responsible for elevation of the soft palate is
levator veli palatini
The muscles responsible for lowering the soft palate are called
palatoglossus, palatopharyngeus
The only intrinsic muscle of the soft palate, located at midline in the posterior aspect of the soft palate is called
musculus uvulae
The three muscles that encircle the pharynx and contract to squeeze the pharynx are called
constrictors (superior, middle, inferior)
Which two cranial nerves are primarily responsible for velopharyngeal function
IX Glossopharyngeal (9), X Vagus (10)
The tube connection the middle ear and the pharynx is called
Eustachian tube (E is capital)
The muscle responsible for opening Eustachian tube is called the
tensor veli palatini
The anatomic term for the bony upper jaw is
maxilla
The anatomic term for the bony lower jaw is
mandible
The horizontal part of that lower jaw bone is called
the body
The vertical aspects of that lower jaw bone are called
rami, ramus
at the top of that lower jaw bones vertical aspect is a u-shaped notch. the anterior process of the u-shape is called the ___ process, and the posterior process is called the ___ which has a rounded head.
coronoid, condyle
the bone that comprises the cheek bone and the lateral wall of the orbit is
zygoma
the bone that makes up the primary division between the two sides of the nose is called the
vomer
The bone that makes up most of the forehead is called the
frontal
the large bone that makes up most of the sides of the skull is called
parietal
the smaller bone making up the side of the skull containing the ear canal is called the
temporal bone
the bone making up most of the back of the skull is called the
occipital bone
the midline cranial suture that extends down the forehead is called
metopic
the midline cranial suture that runs from front to back of the top of the skull is called
sagittal (two Ts to spell correctly)
The paired cranial suture that runs from the midline down the temples of the skull is called
coronal
the paired cranial suture that runs down the posterior sides of the skull is called
lambdoid
the anatomic names for three bones of the middle ear are
stapes, incus, and malleus
the bony protrusion at the front of the first cervical vertebrae is called
anterior tubercle of C1
the structure connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is called the
lingual frenulum
the structure connecting the upper lip to the upper jaw is called
labial frenulum
the structure that separates the middle ear from the ear canal is called
tympanic membrane
the section of the hard palate in which the teeth are seated is known as
alveolus
On top, the two front teeth are called
central incisors
the two teeth on either side of two front teeth are called
lateral incisors
in the permanent dentition, the next two teeth on either side are called
canines
how many sets of molars may be present in the permanent dentition
three

/f, v/
list the lingua-dental consonants
/θ, ð/
List the two primary affricates in spoken English
/tʃ, dʒ/
which consonants require the velopharynx to be open
/m, n, ŋ/
list all of the voiced fricatives
/ð, ʒ, v, z/
