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.
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

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
If a 4th root canal is present in a maxillary 1st molar, it will likely be located in which of the following roots?
1) Mesiolingual
2) Mesiobuccal
3) Distolingual
4) Distofacial
Dental Anatomy Answer: 2
Well over 50% of maxillary 1st molars have two canals in the mesiobuccal root. Some authors cite the number as high as 90%.
There are usually 3 roots and 4 canals in a maxillary 1st molar.
The fourth canal, the mesiolingual canal, is also referred to as: the accessory mesiobuccal canal, mesiocentric, mesiopalatal canal or MB2.
It is usually tough to find MB2 through clinical inspection and it is not obvious on a radiograph. A dentist should expect it is present before beginning a root canal on the first maxillary molar.
The primary mandibular central incisors usually erupt at
1. 6-8 months
2. 2 years
3. 10 - 13 months
4. 52 - 72 weeks
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 1
The primary mandibular central incisors usually erupt at 6-8 months
A mandibular primate space is usually found in the primary dentition between
1. first and second molars
2. central and lateral incisors
3. lateral incisor and canine
4. canine and first molar
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 4
A mandibular primate space is usually found in the primary dentition between canine and first molar
The permanent anterior tooth most often missing congenitally is the
1. maxillary central incisor
2. mandibular central incisors
3. mandibular lateral incisors
4. maxillary lateral incisors
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 4
lateral incisor is most often missing congenitally
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>

1) It attaches superiorly at the lateral border of the mandible and inferiorly at the body of the hyoid.
2) It attaches superiorly at the medial border of the mandible and inferiorly at the lesser horn of the hyoid
3) It attaches superiorly at the medial border of the mandible and inferiorly at the greater horn of the hyoid
4) It attaches superiorly at the medial border of the mandible and inferiorly at the body of the hyoid
Anatomy Answer: 4
It attaches superiorly at the medial border of the mandible and inferiorly at the body of the hyoid
