PhysiologyThe cephalic phase of gastric secretion is initiated by the sight, smell, thought, or taste of food and prepares the stomach for the arrival of food by increasing gastric secretion, gastric motility, and salivation. It does not directly increase gastric acidity but does contribute to the overall digestive process.

Oral SurgeryMarsupialization is a surgical procedure often used for cysts or abscesses. While it does have several advantages, such as minimal exposure of bone and preservation of vital structures, it is not typically associated with rapid healing. The healing process can be prolonged compared to other surgical techniques because it involves creating a permanent opening for drainage, which may take time to close completely.

Oral MedicineThe combination of fever, vomiting, and diarrhea with seizures in a young child is more indicative of gastroenteritis, which can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances leading to seizures, rather than the other options listed.

Oral PathologyProthrombin time (PT) is a measure of the blood's clotting ability. In dentistry, a PT level of 20% below normal is often considered a threshold for increased risk of bleeding during surgical procedures such as tooth extraction. At this level, the patient may be at risk for prolonged bleeding or hemorrhage. Dentists typically assess a patient's coagulation status before performing invasive procedures, especially if the patient has a known bleeding disorder or is on medications that affect clotting.
