ANSWERS 2026 PRACTICE SOLUTION
VERIFIED RESULTS
◉ Inflammation of a lymph node or a group of lymph nodes.
Answer: adenitis
◉ The Bony prominence of the maxilla and mandible that supports
the teeth or dentures.
Answer: alveolar ridge
◉ Reduced vision in an eye that appears structurally normal and
without detectable cause when examined, including inspection with
an ophthalmoscope.
Answer: amblyopia
◉ The upstroke of the pulse, which also implies a "notch" or
"shoulder" on the upstroke.
Answer: anacrotic
◉ Sensory nerves within the walls of the atria, vena cava, aortic arch,
and carotid sinus that monitor blood pressure change.
,Answer: baroreceptor
◉ Having two branches, tines, or prongs.
Answer: bifurcated
◉ A pulse in which two beats occur in rapid succession so that they
seem coupled and distinct from the succeeding set of two; each set is
separated by a longer interval.
Answer: bigeminal pulse
◉ The double-peaked systolic pulse; an arterial pulse with two
palpable peaks, the second stronger than the first, but not markedly
so; detected in instances of decreased arterial tension.
Answer: bisferiens pulse
◉ A heart rate less than 60 beats per minute.
Answer: bradycardia
◉ An unexpected audible swishing sound or murmur over an artery
or vascular organ.
Answer: bruit
◉ Compulsive unconscious grinding of the teeth.
, Answer: bruxism
◉ Mucous membranes inside the mouth.
Answer: buccal mucosa
◉ small band of modified heart muscle fibers that originates at the
atrioventricular node and passes through the right atrioventricular
junction to the interventricular septum, where the fibers divide into
right and left branches and enter the respective ventricles; this
bundle carries the atrial contractual rhythm to the ventricles; an
interruption results in some degree of heart block.
Answer: bundle of His
◉ The angle at the medial or lateral margin of the eyelid; the medial
canthus opens into a small space containing openings to the lacrimal
duct.
Answer: canthus
◉ The complete sequence of cardiac action occurring from one
heartbeat to the next, including both systole and diastole.
Answer: cardiac cycle
◉ The thrust of the ventricles against the chest wall as a result of
cardiac contraction.
