Which of the following muscles has two separate functions in mandibular
movement
1) Masseter
2) Geniohyoid
3) External(lateral)pterygoid
4) Buccinator
Anatomy Answer: 3
The external (lateral) pterygoid muscle has two primary functions: it assists in depressing the mandible (opening the mouth) and in moving the mandible forward (protrusion). This dual function distinguishes it from other muscles of mastication, which primarily elevate the mandible.
The muscle assisting in mastication but not supplied by mandibular nerve is
1.masseter 2.buccinator
3.mylohyoid 4.tensor veli palatine
Anatomy
Answer: 4
The muscle assisting in mastication but not supplied by mandibular nerve is tensor veli palatine
Malformation of the coronal portion of the permanent anterior teeth is most frequently encountered in the
1. maxillary central incisor
2. maxillary lateral incisor
3. maxillary canine
4. mandibular lateral incisor
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 2
Maxillary lateral incisor agenesis:
This is the most common congenital absence of a permanent tooth in the maxillary
anterior region, accounting for about 20% of all dental anomalies.
Coronal developmental invagination (DI):This is a common anomaly in the
permanent maxillary lateral incisor, usually appearing as an accentuation of the
lingual pit.It's often bilateral.
Peg-shaped crown:This is a common alteration in the maxillary lateral incisor.
The canine eminence is
1. associated with the mandibular canine only
2. the labial ridge on the crown of canine
3. an osseous structure surrounding the root of a canine on the facial aspect
4. the prominent ridge on the lingual surface of a maxillary canine
Dental Anatomy Answer: 3
The canine eminence is
an osseous structure surrounding the root of a canine on the facial aspect
When calcospherites fail to fuse during calcification of dentin matrix then
1 Interglobular dentin is formed
2 Dead tracts are found in formed dentin
3 Irregular dentin results
4 None
�
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 1
Sometimes, mineralization of dentin begins in small globular areas that fail to coalesce into a homogenous mass. This results in�zones of hypomineralization between the globules.
These zones are known as globular dentin or interglobular spaces. Thus, demonstrating defect of mineralization and not of matrix�formation, the dentinal tubules pass uninterruptedly through interglobular dentin.
The fibres of Purkinje?
1. Are remains of embryonic cardiac muscle fibres
2. Are placed over the pericardium
3. Arise from the sinu-arterial noded a and b both
4. a and b both
Anatomy Answer: 1
These form specialized fibres of the heart and are supposed to be terminal filaments of bundle of His. They are placed beneath the endocardium and intervene between it and the myocardium.
The artery chiefly responsible for blood supply to the mandible is 1. inferior alveolar artery 2.sphenomandibular artery 3. mylohyoid artery 4.stylomandibular artery
Anatomy Answer: 1The artery chiefly responsible for blood supply to the mandible is inferior alveolar artery
The trigeminal ganglion lies on
1 Anterior temporal bone near its apex hi Meckel�s cave, which is a depression in the bone
2. Posterior surface of petrous temporal bone near Its apex in -Meckel�s cave. which is a depression In the bone
3. Anterior surface of petrous temporal bone near its apex in Meckel�s cave which is a space of dura mater
4. Petrous temporal bone in posterior cranial fossa
Anatomy
Answer: 3
The trigeminal ganglion lies on Anterior surface of petrous temporal bone near its apex in Meckel�s cave which is a space of dura mater
