100
This unpaired bone forms the entire lower jaw
What is the mandible?
100
This cranial nerve innervates visceral smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands of heart, lungs, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and most abdominal organs
What is the vagus nerve?
100
The contraction of this muscle increases the vertical dimension of the thoracic cavity
What is the diaphragm?
100
This is the deepest muscle layer in the anterior abdominal wall.
What is the transversus abdominis?
100
This artery branches after it enters the skull, forming the anterior and middle cerebral arteries
What is the internal carotid artery?
200
This is the large, circular opening in the occipital bone
What is the foramen magnum?
200
A thin layer of delicate tissue that is highly vascularized and tightly adheres to the brain, following the contour of the surface
What is pia mater?
200
The nasal cavity contains these kind of receptor cells
What is olfactory?
200
This is the fibrous sheath that encloses the rectus abdominis muscle.
What is the rectus sheath?
200
The subclavian, axillary, brachial, ulnar and radial arteries are associated with this blood flow region
What is the upper limb?
300
This suture represents the articulation between the frontal bone and parietal bones
What is the coronal suture?
300
This part of the hindbrain is involved in vegetative functions such as breathing
What is the medulla oblongata?
300
The pharynx is a common space used by these two systems
What are digestive and respiratory?
300
The bilateral contraction of the quadratus lumborum results in this action on the vertebral column.
What is extension.
300
This anastomosis of arteries equalizes blood pressure in the brain with available, alternate pathways in case a blood vessel becomes blocked
What is the circle of Willis?
400
The rib articulates with the costal facet found on this part of the thoracic vertebrae
What is the transverse process?
400
This structure connects the hippocampus with the mammillary bodies
What is the fornix?
400
This type of circulation is a component of the systemic circulation, consisting of tiny bronchial arteries and veins
What is bronchial circulation?
400
After you smell a foul odor, this muscle helps to wrinkle your nose.
What is the procerus?
400
This happens when the valves in veins become non-functional, causing blood to pool in one area and the veins to bulge
What are varicose veins?
500
This is a common abnormal lateral curvature of the spine which happens during development
What is scoliosis?
500
These three cranial nerves do not have somatic motor function
What are optic, olfactory and vestibulocochlear?
500
An infection of the alveoli resulting in tissue swelling and accumulated leukocytes, diminishing the capacity for gas exchange
What is pneumonia?
500
The contraction of the puborectalis muscle causes a bend to form in this structure.
What is the anorectal junction?
500
This layer of blood vessel wall is composed of areolar connective tissue and contains elastic and collagen fibres
What is the tunica externa?
