QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2026 - 2027

Wharton's duct into the sublingual papillae behind the lower incisors on
the side of the lingual frenulum
Submandibular gland (location) - ANSWERS-Medial to mandible at
angle of jaw
Sublingual gland (location) - ANSWERS-Below the tongue
Buccinator - ANSWERS-Contraction pulls the cheeks tightly against the
teeth, preventing food from collecting between the teeth and gums
during mastication and working in concert with the tongue to keep food
between the molars

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2026 - 2027
Trigeminal nerve (CN V) - ANSWERS-Carries sensory and motor
innervation to the face
Trigeminal nerve branches - ANSWERS-Ophthalmic, maxillae,
mandibular
Ophthalmic branch (V1) - ANSWERS-Carries sensory information from
the skin of the forehead, upper eyelid, and midline of the nose
Maxillary branch (V2) - ANSWERS-Innervates the skin of the lateral
sides of the nose, lower eyelid, temporal region, and upper lip
Mandibular branch (V3) - ANSWERS-Supplies the skin of the lower lip,
lower face, temporal region, and upper part of the external ear; only this
division carries motor information to the muscles of mastication
Superior rectus and inferior oblique muscles - ANSWERS-Elevation of
the eyeball with the pupil in the midline

Ophthalmic artery - ANSWERS-Branch of the internal carotid artery;
branches out to supply the contents of the orbit and the eyelids
Central retinal artery - ANSWERS-Supplies the retina of the eyeball;
branch of the ophthalmic artery
Superior ophthalmic vein - ANSWERS-Drains the orbit; passes through
the superior orbital fissure to drain into the cavernous sinus
Inferior ophthalmic vein - ANSWERS-Joins the superior ophthalmic
vein before draining into the cavernous sinus

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2026 - 2027
Medial (labyrinthine) wall - ANSWERS-Separates the middle ear from
the middle ear
Posterior wall - ANSWERS-Thin bone separating the tympanic cavity
from the mastoid air cells in the temporal bone
Lower anterior (carotid) wall - ANSWERS-Thin bone that separates the
tympanic cavity from the internal carotid artery; incomplete due to an
opening for the eustachian tube
Tegmental wall - ANSWERS-Formed by the legmen tympani, which
separates the middle ear from the middle cranial fossa
Jugular wall - ANSWERS-Thin bone which separates the middle ear
from the internal jugular vein
Nasal septum - ANSWERS-Forms the common medial wall that
separates the right and left nasal cavities
