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 medial pterygoid muscle is attached to the
1. lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate
2. lateral surface of greater wing of sphenoid
3. medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate
4. medial surface of medial pterygoid plate
Anatomy
Answer: 3
The medial pterygoid muscle is attached to the medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate
A wound to the posterior left axillary line, between the ninth and tenth rib, and extending approximately 5 cm deep, will most likely damage which organ?
1) Ascending colon
2) Duodenum
3) Left kidney
4) Spleen
Anatomy
Answer: 4
The spleen follows the long axes of ribs 9 to 11 and lies mostly posterior to the stomach, above the colon, and partly anterior to the kidney. It is attached to the stomach by a broad mesenterial band, the gastrosplemic ligament. Therefore, it is the most likely organ of the group to be pierced by a sharp object penetrating just above rib 10 at the posterior axillary line. Note that the pleural cavity, and possibly the lower part of the inferior lobe of the lung, would be pierced before the spleen. The ascending colon (choice 1) is on the wrong side (the right) to be penetrated by a sharp instrument piercing the left side.
Most of the duodenum (choice 2) is positioned too far to the right to be affected by this injury.
Even the third part of the duodenum, which runs from right to left, would still be out of harm's way. In addition, the duodenum lies at about levels L1 to L3, placing it too low to be injured in this case.
The superior pole of the left kidney (choice 3) is bordered by the lower part of the spleen. However, it is crossed by rib 12 and usually does not extend above rib 11. It would probably be too low and medial to be injured in this case because this penetration is at the posterior axillary line.
Temporalis muscle is inserted into:
1. lip and lateral surface of coronoid
2. Tip and medial surface of coronoid
3. Tip and anterior border of coronojd upto external oblique ridge
4. B and C
Anatomy
Answer: 2
Temporalis muscle is inserted into Tip and medial surface of coronoid
The secretory product of odontoblasts is:
1) Topocollagen.
2) Calcium salts.
3) Mantle dentin.
4) Hydroxyapatite
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 3
Dentinogenesis is the formation of dentin by odontoblasts of mesenchymal origin
located at the periphery of the dental pulp
Dentinogenesis is initiated by the inductive influence of the enamel organ
involving molecular signaling pathways, such as Wnt, Runx-2, and TGF-?. In the
molar tooth, dentinogenesis starts at the late bell stage, and occurs in the
crown as well as root regions.
Predentin, the first organic matrix secreted by odontoblasts, is composed by
proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and collagens.
The muscle least related to pterygomandibular raphe is
1. superior pharyngeal constrictor
2.medial pterygoid
3. lateral pterygoid
4.buccinator
Anatomy
Answer: 3
The muscle least related to the pterygomandibular raphe is the lateral
pterygoid. The pterygomandibular raphe primarily connects the superior
pharyngeal constrictor and the buccinator muscles, while the medial and lateral
pterygoid muscles are involved in the movement of the jaw but do not have a
direct attachment to the raphe. Here’s a breakdown of the relationships:
Muscle Relationships to the Pterygomandibular Raphe
Superior Pharyngeal Constrictor:
Attaches to the posterior margin of the pterygomandibular raphe.
Plays a role in swallowing and constricting the pharynx.
Medial Pterygoid:
While not directly attached, it is located near the pterygomandibular
raphe and contributes to jaw movement.
Lateral Pterygoid:
Least related to the pterygomandibular raphe.
Primarily involved in moving the jaw forward and side to side, with
no direct attachment to the raphe.
Buccinator:
Attaches to the anterior margin of the pterygomandibular raphe.
Important for chewing and keeping food between the teeth.
