.




a. sublingual fold
b. lingual frenum
c. sublingual caruncle
ANS: A
The sublingual fold, a bilateral formation, extends from the sublingual caruncle and runs back
along the floor of the mouth. In the illustration structure ―a‖ is the lingual frenum; structure
―c‖ is the sublingual caruncle.

2. In the following illustration, structure ―c‖ is the




a. sublingual fold
b. sublingual caruncle
c. lingual frenum
ANS: B
The sublingual caruncle is the opening for the ducts of the submandibular and sublingual
salivary glands. It is a small elevation located at the base of each side of the lingual frenum.
Structure ―a‖ is the lingual frenum. Structure ―b‖ is the sublingual fold.

TRUE/FALSE

1. The nasopalatine nerves and blood vessels travel through the incisive papilla.

ANS: F
The nasopalatine nerves and blood vessels travel through the incisive foramen as they
innervate and deliver nutrients to the mucous membrane lingual to the maxillary incisor teeth.
The incisive papilla, a singular bulge of tissue at the midline immediately posterior to the
central incisors, is located just above the incisive foramen. The incisive papilla is a point of
injection for anesthetizing the anterior palate between the canines.

, Anatomy of Orofacial Structures 8th Edition Brand Test

Beneath the incisive papilla is the incisive foramen, which carries the nasopalatine nerves and
blood vessels to the mucous membrane lingual to the maxillary incisor teeth. The incisive
foramen is a point of injection for anesthetizing the anterior palate area between the canines.
The greater palatine foramen, which serves as a landmark for local anesthesia, is located on
the posterior portion of the hard palate adjacent to the maxillary second and third molars.

3. The posterior portion of the soft palate is a part of the esophagus.

ANS: F
Most of the posterior portion of the soft palate is part of the oral pharynx. Food reaches the
esophagus AFTER passing both the oral pharynx and laryngeal pharynx.

U S Non ethe
They generally occur more frequently Td omandible than on the maxilla. Exostoses are
normally of no consequence unless they become tender from toothbrushing or if dentures are
being constructed.

5. The indentation at the midline above the upper lip is called the philtrum.

ANS: T
The philtrum, derived from the embryonic nasal processes, is an indentation at the midline of
the upper lip. It is at the lateral junction of the philtrum that a cleft lip might be formed.
