19
Q

Neutral position of the teeth, where tooth stability is achieved, exists when the lingual forces and the labial forces are in equilibrium. It exists for both the anterior and posterior teeth.

True
False

A

TRUE

20
Q

Match the neurologic structures to their respective functions.

a. nociceptors
b. proprioceptors
c. exteroceptors
d. interoceptors

receptors that carry information regarding the status of the internal organs, receptors that are specific for discomfort and pain, receptors that provide information of the conditions of the environment, or receptors that provide information regarding the position and movement of the mandible and associated oral structures

A

Interoreceptors: receptors that carry information regarding the status of the internal organs

Nociceptors: Receptors that are specific for discomfort and pain

Exteroceptors: sensory receptors found in the peripheral tissues such as the skin and oral mucosa. These provide information from the exterior tissues of the body informing the CNS of the conditions in the environment

Propioceptors: Receptors that provide information regarding the position and movement of the mandible and associated oral structures
