Which of the following facial features is located laterally to each naris? 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. REF: Chapter 1, Nasal Region, Page 2 2.

On the midline of the upper lip extending downward from the nasal septum is a vertical groove, the philtrum.

Which of the following may be involved in the disruption of the vermilion zone and may make it hard to determine the exact location of its mucocutaneous junction between the lips and the surrounding skin? ANS: A Disruption of the vermilion zone may make it hard to determine the exact location of its mucocutaneous junction between the lips and the surrounding skin. These changes may be due to scar tissue from past traumatic incidents, developmental disturbances, or cellular changes in the tissue such as occur with solar damage. These changes may also represent a more serious condition such as cancer; however, this can be verified only with tissue biopsy and microscopic examination. If this change is part of a past history of a cleft lip, this also needs to be noted in the patient record because of its impact on dental care. REF: Chapter 1, Clinical Considerations with Lips, Page 2 13. The _____ region of the face is composed of the soft tissue of the cheek. ANS: D The buccal region of the face is composed of the soft tissue of the cheek. The infraorbital region of the face is located inferior to the orbital region and lateral to the nasal region. 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. The temporal region is on the lateral side of the head at the temple. REF: Chapter 1, Buccal Region, Page 2
