Preview 4 out of 470 pages

This is the complete test bank companion for Illustrated Anatomy of the Head and Neck, 6th Edition by Margaret J. Fehrenbach and Susan W. Herring — the textbook used across dental hygiene, dental assisting, and dental anatomy courses for certification exam preparation. What makes this different: Every question is mapped to the CDA (Certified Dental Assistant) and NBDHE (National Board Dental Hygiene Examination) blueprints used by actual testing boards, so you're not just memorizing — you're practicing the exact competencies those exams measure. What's covered (All 12 Chapters): Chapter 1: Introduction to Head and Neck Anatomy — anatomic position, planes, directional terminology Chapter 2: Surface Anatomy — extraoral and intraoral landmarks, palpation points Chapter 3: Skeletal System — bones of skull, sutures, foramina, maxillae, mandible Chapter 4: Muscular System — muscles of mastication and facial expression, suprahyoid/infrahyoid Chapter 5: Temporomandibular Joint — joint anatomy, disc, ligaments, TMJ disorder signs Chapter 6: Vascular System — arteries and veins of head and neck, anastomoses Chapter 7: Glandular Tissue — salivary glands, ducts, thyroid, thymus Chapter 8: Nervous System — cranial nerves, trigeminal branches, facial nerve pathways Chapter 9: Anatomy of Local Anesthesia — nerve blocks, injection sites, complications Chapter 10: Lymphatic System — lymph node groups, drainage patterns, lymphadenopathy Chapter 11: Fasciae and Spaces — fascial layers, spaces of face and neck, infection spread Chapter 12: Spread of Infection — odontogenic infections, Ludwig angina, cavernous sinus thrombosis Format: Digital download — question-and-answer layout with correct answers clearly marked, rationales included for key concepts. Organized by chapter for targeted review. Important: This is a test bank (practice question bank) — a study supplement to the textbook, not the textbook itself. Questions mirror the style and difficulty of exam items you'll encounter on course assessments and board exams. Best for: Dental hygiene students, dental assisting students, CDA candidates, NBDHE prep, and anyone needing structured head and neck anatomy practice.

2. Which of the following is CORRECT concerning the sagittal plane of the
body?
a. Parallel to the median plane
b. Parallel to the frontal plane
c. Parallel to the horizontal plane
d. Parallel to the coronal plane

ANS: A

Feedback
A A sagittal plane is parallel to the median plane.
B A sagittal plane is NOT parallel to the frontal plane but
perpendicular.

, C A horizontal plane is perpendicular to the median plane. A
sagittal plane is parallel to the median plane. Thus a
horizontal plane is perpendicular to a
sagittal plane.
D A sagittal plane is NOT parallel to the coronal plane but
perpendicular.
