Quiz 7 Questions Flashcards
During a medical school anatomy lab, a student is tasked with identifying the bone responsible for forming the posterior and inferior parts of the cranial cavity on a human skull model. The student learned that this bone is crucial for understanding the structural protection it provides to a lobe in that is located in the posterior aspect of the brain. Which bone is the student examining?
a) Occipital bone
b) Parietal bone
c) Sphenoid bone
d) Frontal bone
a) Occipital bone
John is investigating how the structure of the oral cavity supports articulation in different languages. Specifically, he’s focusing on the bony framework that makes up the roof of the mouth—an area critical for producing many speech sounds. Which of the following bones contribute to the formation of the hard parts of our palate?
a) Both maxilla and palatine bones
b) The palatine bone
c) The Sphenoid bone
d) The maxilla
a) Both maxilla and palatine bones
Which of the following is true about the zygomatic bone?
a) It articulates only with the hyoid bone.
b) It connects the nasal cavity to the auditory tube.
c) It forms the lower jaw and houses the lower teeth.
d) It forms the prominence of the cheek and part of the lateral wall of the orbit.
d) It forms the prominence of the cheek and part of the lateral wall of the orbit.
Which of the following is true about the tensor veli palatini (tensor palati) muscle?
a) It retracts the tongue and narrows the oropharynx.
b) It originates from the posterior border of the hard palate.
c) It elevates the soft palate to close off the nasal cavity during swallowing.
d) It flattens and tenses the soft palate and helps open the auditory (Eustachian) tube.
d) It flattens and tenses the soft palate and helps open the auditory (Eustachian) tube.
True or False: Both the left and right parietal bones intersect with foramen magnum at the lambdoidal suture.
False
True or False: The palatine aponeurosis serves as a fibrous framework for the soft palate and provides an insertion point for both the tensor veli palatini and levator veli palatini muscles.
True
True or False: The palatopharyngeus muscle originates from the palatine aponeurosis and can lower the velum.
True
True or False: Kimberly is studying contrastive length in two types of nasal sounds. She wants to investigate whether one of them involves a longer duration of nasality, reflected by a sustained lowered velum position. Kimberly believes that X-ray video data would be a good method for observing this. Do you think it should be true?
True
