Exam |83 Q’s and A’s
Which of the following exocrine gland produces 60%-65% of total value of
saliva for the oral cavity? - -Submandibular gland
- Which of the following glands can be palpated as part of an extra oral
examination? - -Thyroid gland
- Both the major and minor salivary glands are ______ glands. - -exocrine
- Which of the following glands listed below is NOT an endocrine gland? - -
Lacrimal gland
- Which of the following can be palpated within the sublingual space in the
floor of the mouth? - -Sublingual gland
- Which of the following glands wraps around the mylohyoid muscle? - -
submandibular gland
- The lacrimal glands are considered exocrine glands because their secretion
enters directly into the vascular system without the use of any ducts. - -
Statement correct but the reason is NOT
- Which of the following glands secrete only a serous type of saliva? - -
Parotid and von Ebner's glands
- Which type of secretion is produced from MOST minor salivary glands
within the oral cavity? - -Mainly mucous secretion
- Which of the following lymph nodes are initially involved when the patient
has contracted mumps? - -Deep parotid nodes
- What is the location for the parathyroid glands? - -On or within the
posterior surface of the thyroid gland
- Which of the following lingual papillae are DIRECTLY associated with
salivary glands? - -Circumvallae papillae
- Which of the following nerves can be damaged during surgery on the
submandibular salivary gland? - -Lingual nerve
- Which of the ducts when blocked is involved in the formation of a ranula in
the posterior floor of the mouth? - -Wharton's duct
, - From the nasolacrimal sac, the lacrimal fluid continues into the
nasolacrimal duct, ultimately draining into the inferior nasal meatus. This
connection explains why crying leads to extra saliva. - -The statement is
correct, but the reason is NOT
- The lymphatics are a part of the immune system, and they help fight
disease processes. Another component of the lymphatic system is the
thymus gland because it words within immune system. - -The first statement
is true, second is false
- Which of the following is considered the MAIN role of the lymph nodes in
relationship to the lymph within lymphatic vessels? - -Filtration
- The lymphatics of the right side of the head and neck converge by way of
the right jugular trunk. These lymphatics then join the lymphatics from the
right arm and thorax to form the thoracic duct. - -The first statement is true,
the second is false.
- A dental professional needs to check carefully for any palpable nodes of
the head and neck during an extra oral examination BECAUSE the palpable
lymph nodes may help determine where a disease process is active. - -Both
statement and reason are correct and related.
- Which of the teeth listed below, when infected do NOT initially drain into
the submandibular lymph nodes but into another group of lymph nodes? - -
Maxillary third molars
- The occipital lymph nodes can be palpated during the extra oral
examination by asking the patient to tilt his or her head into the left and then
to the right with Chun upward BECAUSE the occipital lymph nodes empty
into he inferior deep cervical nodes of the neck. - -The statement is NOT
correct, but the reason is correct
- Tonsils are masses of lymphoid tissue located in the oral cavity and
pharynx. Like lymph nodes, tonsils are located along lymphatic vessels. - -
The first statement is true, the second is false
- The palatine tonsil is located in the oral cavity between the posterior
faucial pillar and which of the following structures? - -Anterior faucial pillar
- Which of the following terms BEST describes the process in lymph nodes
when a patient has a disease process active in a region, such as cancer or
infection, by increasing in size and changing the consistency of the lymphoid
tissue? - -Lymphadenopathy
