true
T/F: The left common carotid artery branches directly off the aortic arch
true
T/F: The right subclavian artery branches directly off the aortic arch
false; left subclavian
T/F: Bruxism is a process of the CNS rather than mastication process
true
T/F: Clenching is caused by malocclusion
false; compression
T/F: Most TMJ symptoms come from the joint disc

true
T/F: The normal condition is for the teeth to be slightly parted at rest and the muscles relaxed
true
T/F: The power stroke involves a movement from a laterally deviated position back to the midline
true
T/F: The rotational movement of the TMJ occurs mainly between the disc and the condyle of the mandibular in the upper synovial cavity
false
T/F: The pterygoid plexus of veins may be involved in the spread of infection to the cavernous venous sinus
true
T/F: The venous sinuses are located in the meninges of the brain
true
T/F: Elevation and retraction of the mandible involves both gliding in both upper synovial cavities and rotation in both the lower synovial cavities
true
T/F: The external carotid artery has no branches in the neck
False
T/F: The gliding movement of the TMJ occurs mainly between the disc and the articular eminence of the mandible in the upper synovial cavity
false
T/F: The posterior area of attachment of the disc to the capsule is one of the places where nerves and blood vessels enter the joint
true
T/F: Veins are generally larger and more numerous than arteries in the same tissue area
true
T/F: The internal jugular originates in the cranial cavity
true
T/F: The rotational movement of the TMJ occurs mainly between the disc and the condyle of the mandibular in the synovial cavity.
true
All of the following run in the carotid sheath except
hypoglossus
The external jugular terminates into the
subclavian vein
The brachiocephalic vein unite to form the
superior vena cava
Another name for a heart attack is
