The temporomandibular joint is a modified hinge-type synovial joint
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

The descending palatine artery is a branch of the third (pterygopalatine) part of the maxillary artery
Which of the following arteries is correctly paired with its course and distribution?
The short posterior ciliary arteries pierce the sclera near the optic nerve and supply the choroid, which subsequently supplies the rods and cones of the retina
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 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 nerve is NOT correctly matched with its distribution?
The tensor tympani is innervated by the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve
Which of the following arteries is NOT a branch of the ophthalmic artery?
The infraorbital artery is a branch of the third part of the maxillary artery
The muscles of mastication are associated with which branchial arch?
The muscles of mastication are associated with the first branchial arch and are innervated by the trigeminal nerve
Which of the following is true in respect to the otic ganglion?
Postsynaptic parasympathetic fibers pass from the ganglion to the parotid gland via the auriculotemporal nerve
