, OROFACIAL II TEST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
temporal bones = - answer;-serves as an attachment for the strongest chewing muscles
3 portions of temporal bones = - answer;-squamous, tympanic, petrous
squamous = - answer;-large fan-shaped, flat
tympanic = - answer;-small irregularly shaped, forms most of the external acoustic
meatus
petrous = - answer;-inferiorly located and helps form the cranial floor* not visible
mastoid process = - answer;-serves as the site for attachment of the large muscles of
the neck such as the sternocleidomastoid muscle
styloid process = - answer;-serves for the attachment of the tongue and pharyngeal
muscles and ligaments
carotid canal = - answer;-large circular aperture which ascends at first vertically and
then making a bend, runs horizontally forward and medial ward, transmits into the
cranium the internal carotid artery and carotid plexus of nerves
sphenoid bone = - answer;-helps connect the cranial skeleton to the facial skeleton
body of sphenoid contains - answer;-paired paranasal sinuses, aka sphenoidal sinuses
3 paired processes of the sphenoid = - answer;-lesser wing, greater wing, pterygoid
process
ethmoid bone = - answer;-2 unpaired plates (midline vertical perpendicular plate, the
horizontal cribriform plate)
vomer = - answer;-forms the posterior of the nasal septum, has no muscle attachments
lacrimal bones = - answer;-irregular, thin plates of bone that form the small portion of
the anterior medial wall of the orbit
nasolacrimal duct = - answer;-formed at the junction of the lacrimal and maxillary bones,
where lacrimal fluid of drained
zygomatic bones = - answer;-paired facial bones that form the cheekbones
