Question 1
The type of epithelial tissue lining the oral cavity is:
A. Stratified squamous epithelium
B. Simple columnar epithelium
C. Simple cuboidal epithelium
D. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Correct Answer: A (Stratified squamous epithelium)
Rationale: Oral mucosa is lined by stratified squamous
epithelium, which provides protection against mechanical
abrasion. Simple columnar epithelium lines the intestines, simple
1
,cuboidal lines glands and ovary surfaces, and pseudostratified
columnar lines the respiratory tract .
Question 2
The cheekbone (zygomatic arch) is composed of which two
processes?
A. Temporal process of zygomatic bone and zygomatic process
of temporal bone
B. Zygomatic bone only
C. Palatine processes
D. Frontal process and frontal bone
Correct Answer: A (Temporal process of zygomatic bone and
zygomatic process of temporal bone)
Rationale: These two processes form the lateral contour of the

The mandibular condyle articulates with which bone to form the
temporomandibular joint (TMJ)?
A. External acoustic meatus
B. Styloid process
3
, C. Coronoid notch
D. Temporal bone
Correct Answer: D (Temporal bone)
Rationale: The mandibular condyle forms the moving component
of the TMJ by articulating with the glenoid fossa of the temporal
bone .
Question 5

(energy) for the cell?
A. Mitochondria
B. Lysosome
C. Endoplasmic reticulum
D. Golgi apparatus
Correct Answer: A (Mitochondria)
