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
Interglobular Dentin:
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.
During eruption of permanent teeth, alveolar bone is
1. deposited only
2. resorbed only
3. resorbed and deposited intermittently
4. neither resorbed nor deposited
Dental Anatomy Answer: 3
During eruption of permanent teeth, alveolar bone is resorbed and deposited intermittently
STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID IS NOT SUPPLIED BY?
1. SUPERIOR THYROID A.
2.THYROCERVICAL TRUNK
3. OCCIPITAL A
4. POST AURICULAR A
Anatomy
Answer: 2
The occipital artery does not supply the lower third of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle:<br> Upper third: Supplied by the occipital artery <br>Middle third: Supplied by the superior thyroid artery and the external carotid artery <br>Lower third: Supplied by the suprascapular artery, the transverse cervical artery, the thyrocervical trunk, and the superficial cervical artery<br>

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

3. afferent from the carotid body
4. sensory to lining of tympanic cavity
Anatomy
Answer: 4
The auriculotemporal nerve carries some fibers which are sensory to lining of tympanic cavity
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.
