The temporomandibular joint is a modified hinge-type synovial joint
Which of the following is correct in respect to the hard palate?
The hard palate is composed of the palatine processes of the maxillary bones as well as the horizontal plates of the palatine bones
Advertisement
Which of the following palate muscles is NOT innervated by the cranial part of the accessory nerve through a pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve via the pharyngeal plexus?
The tensor veli palatini is innervated by the medial pterygoid nerve, which is a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve
Which of the following is correctly matched with its action?
The tensor veli palatini tenses the soft palate and opens the mouth of the auditory tube during swallowing and yawning
Which of the following is NOT a type of lingual papilla?
The four types of lingual papillae are the vallate papillae, foliate papillae, filiform papillae, and fungiform papillae
Which of the following muscles is NOT innervated by the hypoglossal nerve?
The hypoglossal nerve innervates the four intrinsic muscles of the tongue in addition to the following three extrinsic muscles of the tongue: genioglossus, hyoglossus, and styloglossus. The vagus innervates the palatoglossus, which is both an extrinsic tongue muscle and a palate muscle
Which of the following tongue muscles is correctly paired with its action?
The genioglossus depresses the tongue and assists in protrusion. The hyoglossus depresses and retracts the tongue. The styloglossus retracts the tongue and draws it up for swallowing. The palatoglossus elevates the posterior part of the tongue. The superior and inferior longitudinal muscles curl the tip and sides of the tongue and shorten it. The transverse narrows and elongates the tongue, assisting in protrusion. The vertical flattens and broadens the tongue, assisting in protrusion
