D.lingual
The lingual foramen is a tiny hole or opening in bone located on the
internal surface of the mandible near the midline. The mental foramen is a
hole or opening in bone located on the external surface of the mandible in
the region of the mandibular premolars. The incisive foramen (nasopalatine
foramen) is a hole or opening in bone located at the midline of the anterior
portion of the hard palate directly posterior to the maxillary central
incisors. The mandibular foramen is a round or ovoid hole in bone on the
lingual aspect of the ramus of the mandible.

styloid process
The styloid process is a long, pointed, and sharp projection of bone that
extends downward from the inferior surface of the temporal bone. The
glenoid fossa is a concave, depressed area of the temporal bone located
anterior to the mastoid process and the external auditory meatus. The
articular eminence is a rounded projection of the temporal bone located
anterior to the glenoid fossa. The lateral pterygoid plate is a thin, wing-
, shaped bony extension of the sphenoid bone located distal to the
maxillary tuberosity region.

___________ refers to the total amount of radiation that is received or absorbed.
A.Cell sensitivity
B.Dose rate
C.Amount of tissue irradiated
D.Total dose
Give this one a try later!
D.Total dose refers to the quantity of radiation received or the total amount
of radiation energy absorbed. Dose rate is the rate at which exposure to
radiation occurs and absorption takes place. Amount of tissue irradiated
refers to the areas of the body exposed. Cell sensitivity refers to the
susceptibility of the particular type of cell to radiation.
