    • - Chronic, Cirrhosis, Carcinoma, Carriers
  20. The connective tissue sheath that surrounds a muscle as a whole and is synonymous with the gross anatomic deep fascia is the

    A) periosteum.B) perimysium.C) perichondrium.D) endomysium.E) epimysium.
    endomysium (individual muscle fibers)--> perimysium (bundle of fibers)--> epimysium (bundle of fascicles)
  21. Salivary, sweat, sebaceous, and von Ebner's glands all have in common the characteristic of being

    A) exocrine.B) simple.C) holocrine.D) merocrine.E) compound.
    exocrine glands

    Exocrine glands are named apocrine gland, holocrine gland, or merocrine gland based on how their product is secreted.

    Apocrine glands - a portion of the plasma membrane buds off the cell, containing the secretion.

    Holocrine glands - the entire cell disintegrates to secrete its substance.

    Merocrine glands - cells secrete their substances by exocytosis.
  22. In an ideal intercuspal position, the cusp tip of a permanent maxillary canine should contact




    B) No other tooth
  23. Which of the following primary teeth has the smallest faciolingual dimension of its crown?



    B) Mandibular central incisor
  24. The lingual height of contour on a permanent mandibular second molar is located





    B) middle 1/3

    All facial HOC= cervical

    • Linguals:
    • all anterior teeth= cervical
    • all posterior teeth= middle 1/3
  25. Connective tissue proper is characterized as having



    A)

    collagen is main protein of CT
  26. Prolonged administration of streptomycin may result in damage to which of the following nerves?

    A) FacialB) TrigeminalC) OpticD) Auditory
    • Auditory- hearing loss (ototoxicity)
    • - bactericidal--> protein synthesis inhibitor that binds 30S ribosome- precents synthesis of proteins
    • - aminoglycoside
    • - IM injection
  27. The non-working pathway of the maxillary cusps on the mandibular posterior teeth is toward the

    A) mesiolingual.B) distofacial.C) distolingual.D) mesiofacial.
    B) distofacial

    the mandibular nonworking cusps move mesiofacially
  28. Properdin
    • - aka Factor P
    • - protein in blood
    • - innate immune system
    • - component of alternative pathway for complement activation "properdin pathway"--> complexes w/ C3b
    • - alternative "properdin" pathway is activated by IgA immune complexes, bacterial endotoxins, cell walls, polysaccharides--> results in anaphylatoxins, opsonins, chemotactic factors, MAC to fight pathogens
  29. Proprioceptors are found in each of the following EXCEPT




    • D) pulp of the tooth
    • - pulp of tooth

    • Zones of pulp:
    • (Outside--> inside)
    • 1. odontoblastic layer- odontoblasts lining pulp chamber
    • 2. Cell free zone of Weill- acellular
    • - contains Rashkow's plexus (parietal plexus of nerves) and mesenchymal cells
    • 3. cell rich zone= fibroblasts and undifferentiated mesenchymal cells
    • 4. pulp core- fibroblasts, leukocytes, blood and lymph vessels, myelinated (mostly A-delta and C fibers), collagen I and II; no elastic fibers
  30. Which of the following permanent incisors most frequently have concave areas on both mesial and distal root surfaces?

    (a) Maxillary central; (b) Mandibular central; (c) Maxillary lateral; (d) Mandibular lateral
    B and D
  31. In a patient with a left canine protection, the mesiolingual surface of the maxillary right first molar contacts the distofacial surface of the mandibular right first molar during a left lateral excursion. This contact is




    E) a non-working side interference

    group function- when the working side canines and posterior teeth contact, but they disarticulate teeth on the non-working side

    ESSENTIAL TO HAVE NO NON-WORKING SIDE CONTACTS bc they are damaging
  32. In an ideal permanent tooth relationship, the tip of a mandibular canine in lateral excursion passes



    C) mesial to the tip of the maxillary canine cusp
