A. Orbit
B. Nasal Ala
C. Nasal Septum
D. Philtrum
Ans: B
The Nares Are Separated By The Midline Nasal Septum. The Nares Are
Also Bounded Laterally By Winglike Cartilaginous Structures, Each Ala
(Plural, Alae) Of The Nose. In The Orbital Region Of The Face, The
Eyeball And All Its Supporting Structures Are Contained In The Orbit Of
The Skull, The Bony Eye Socket. On The Midline Of The Upper Lip
Extending Downward From The Nasal Septum Is A Vertical Groove, The
Philtrum.

Area Called The:
A. Philtrum.
B. Mucogingival Junction.
C. Mucocutaneous Junction.
D. Mandibular Symphysis.
Ans: C
The Vermilion Zone Of Each Lip Has A Darker Appearance Than The
Surrounding Skin, With The Lips Outlined From The Surrounding Skin
By A Transition Zone, The Mucocutaneous Junction. On The Midline Of
The Upper Lip Extending Downward From The Nasal Septum Is A
Vertical Groove, The Philtrum. The Line Of Demarcation Between The
Firmer And Pinker Attached Gingiva And The Movable And Redder
Alveolar Mucosa Is The Scallop-Shaped Mucogingival Junction. The

3. Which Of The Following Structures Can Be Palpated In The
Anterior Midline Of The Neck?
A. Thyroid Cartilage
B. Parathyroid Glands
C. Sternocleidomastoid Muscle
D. Submandibular Salivary Gland
, Ans: A
Found In The Anterior Midline And Inferior To The Hyoid Bone Is The
Thyroid Cartilage, Which Is The Prominence Of The “Voice Box,” Or
Larynx. The Vocal Cords, Or Ligaments Of The Larynx, Are Attached To
The Posterior Surface Of The Thyroid Cartilage. The Parathyroid Glands
Are Located Close To Or Within The Posterior Aspect Of The Thyroid
Gland But Cannot Be Palpated In A Patient; The Thyroid Gland Can Be
Palpated On A Patient Within The Midline Cervical Area. The Large

The Temporomandibular Joint. The Infraorbital Region Of The Face Is
Located Inferior To The Orbital Region And Lateral To The Nasal Region.
Farther Laterally Is The Zygomatic Region, Which Overlies The Bony
Support For The Cheek, The Zygomatic Arch. The Zygomatic Arch
Extends From Just Below The Lateral Margin Of The Eye Toward The
Middle Part Of The External Ear. The Chin Is The Major Feature Of The
Mental Region Of The Face; The Bone Underlying The Mental Region Is
The Mandible, Or Lower Jaw. The Parotid Is Located Irregularly From
The Zygomatic Arch Down To The Posterior Border Of The Lower Jaw.
Ref: Chapter 1, Zygomatic Region, Page 2
7. The Salivary Gland Is Located Irregularly From The Zygomatic
Arch Down To The Posterior Border Of The Lower Jaw.
A. Parotid
B. Submandibular
C. Von Ebner
D. Sublingual
Ans: A
The Parotid Is Located Irregularly From The Zygomatic Arch Down To
The Posterior Border Of The Lower Jaw. Both The Submandibular
Salivary And Sublingual Are In The Neck Region. The Von Ebner Refers
To Minor Glands Located Deep To The Circumvallate Lingual Papillae On
The Dorsal Surface Of The Tongue.
Ref: Chapter 1, Buccal Region, Page 2
8. The Extends From Just Below The Lateral Margin Of The Eye
Toward The Middle Part Of The External Ear.
A. Temporomandibular Joint
B. Zygomatic Arch
