The building blocks
All bones of the skull are immovable, the exception being
The mandible
Innervation of muscles of facial expression
VII Cranial
This artery is the largest terminal branch of the external carotid artery
Maxillary artery
The four major divisions of the brain
Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brainstem, Diencephalon
Ductless Glands
Endocrine glands
Sphenoid bone
TMJ sensory innervation
Auriculotemporal and Masseteric branches of V3
The internal jugular vein leaves the cranial cavity through what anatomical landmark
Jugular foramen
This branch of the Efferent division functions without any conscious control
Autonomic Nervous System
This major salivary gland produces the least amount of saliva
Sublingual salivary gland
Prominent opening of the nasal cavity
Piriform aperture
Muscles of the Tongue are innervated by
XII Cranial nerve, Hypoglossal
This artery begins in the Parotid salivary gland
Superficial temporal artery
This nerve provides taste sensation for the anterior 2/3rds of the tongue
Facial nerve VII
What does the parathyroid gland regulate
Calcium and Phosphorus levels
The Mastoid process, Styloid process, Jugular notch and Internal acoustic meatus is associated with what bone?
The Petrous part of the Temporal bone
This muscle has a role in smiling
Zygomaticus Major
These veins come together to form the Superior Vena Cava
Left and Right Brachiocephalic Vein
This nerve supplies the mandibular premolars and lingual gingiva
Inferior Alveolar Nerve
Structures of the head and neck ultimately drain to
Zygomatic arch formed
Zygomatic process of Temporal bone and Temporal process of Zygomatic bone
The action of these muscles are to depress the hyoid and aid in swallowing
Formed from the merger of the Superficial Temporal Vein and the Maxillary Vein
Retromandibular Vein
This Afferent nerve is found on the cribriform plate and Ethmoid bone, with a primary role of transmitting smell
Olfactory Nerve, Cranial Nerve I
The deepest of fascia layers
Vertebral fascia
