2.

Which bone forms bridge of the nose?
- Lacrimal
- Mandible
- Nasal
- Palatine
Correct Answer

A. Nasal

Explanation

The bone that forms the bridge of the nose is the nasal bone. It is a small, rectangular bone that is located at the upper part of the nose between the eyebrows. The nasal bone helps to provide structure and support to the nose, contributing to its shape and appearance.

Rate this question:
3.

Which bone is the medial aspect anterior orbit--tear ducts?
- Maxilla
- Mandible
- Zygomatic Bone
- Lacrimal
Correct Answer

A. Lacrimal

Explanation

The lacrimal bone is located in the medial aspect of the anterior orbit, near the tear ducts. It is a small, delicate bone that forms part of the eye socket and helps to protect the tear ducts and the lacrimal sac. The lacrimal bone is responsible for producing and draining tears, and it also contributes to the overall structure and support of the face.

Rate this question:
4.

The frontal bone makes up the ________ of the orbit orbit eye?
- Anterior medial corner
- Anterior, lateral
- Medial wall
- Roof/superior wall
Correct Answer

A. Roof/superior wall

Explanation

The frontal bone forms the superior or roof part of the orbit, which is the bony socket that houses the eye. It helps protect and support the eye, along with the other bones that make up the orbit.

Rate this question:
5.

Which bone is curved like a scroll?
- Maxilla
- Vomer
- Lacrimal
- Inferior Nasal Canchae
Correct Answer

A. Inferior Nasal Canchae

Explanation

The correct answer is Inferior Nasal Canchae. The inferior nasal conchae are curved bones located in the nasal cavity. They are responsible for increasing the surface area of the nasal cavity, helping to filter, warm, and moisten the air we breathe. The shape of the inferior nasal conchae resembles a scroll, with a curved and spiraled structure.

Rate this question:
6.

Maxilla bone makes up the ___________ of the orbit of the eye?
- Floor
- Roof/superior
- Poterior
- Deep, inferior (small corner)
Correct Answer

A. Floor

Explanation

The maxilla bone forms the floor of the orbit of the eye.

Rate this question:
7.

The Zygomatic bone makes up the ______________ orbit of the eye?
- Deep,inferior (small corner)
- Floor
- Anterior, lateral
- Posterior
Correct Answer

A. Anterior, lateral

Explanation

The zygomatic bone makes up the anterior and lateral orbit of the eye. This bone is located on the side of the face and forms the prominence of the cheekbone. It connects with other facial bones to create the structure of the eye socket, providing support and protection for the eye.

8.

The Lacrimal bone makes up the ______________ orbit of the eye?
- Anterior medial corner
- Roof/superior
- Floor
- Deep, inferior (small corner)
Correct Answer

A. Anterior medial corner

Explanation

The Lacrimal bone makes up the anterior medial corner of the orbit of the eye. This means that it is located at the front and middle part of the eye socket. The Lacrimal bone helps to form the structure and shape of the orbit, providing support and protection for the eye.

Rate this question:
9.

Which bone forms the posterior bony septum of nose?
- Lacrimal
- Nasal
- Vomer
- Inferior Nasal Canchae
Correct Answer

A. Vomer

Explanation

The bone that forms the posterior bony septum of the nose is the Vomer. The vomer is a thin, flat bone located in the midline of the nasal cavity. It separates the nasal cavity into two halves and forms the posterior part of the nasal septum.

Rate this question:
10.

Which bone forms posterior portion palate and Lateral walls of nasal cavity and is also the location of greater and lesser palatine foramen?
- Mandible
- Palatine
- Ethmoid
- Zygomatic Bone
Correct Answer

A. Palatine

Explanation

The correct answer is Palatine. The palatine bone forms the posterior portion of the palate and the lateral walls of the nasal cavity. It is also the location of the greater and lesser palatine foramen.

Rate this question:
11.

The Ethmoid bone makes up the _________ of the orbit of the eye?
- Posterior
- Medial wall
- Deep, inferior (small corner)
- Floor
Correct Answer

A. Medial wall

Explanation

The ethmoid bone forms the medial wall of the orbit of the eye. It is a thin, delicate bone located between the eye socket and the nasal cavity. The medial wall plays an important role in protecting and supporting the eye, as well as providing attachment points for various muscles and ligaments.

Rate this question:
12.

The Palatine makes up the ______________ orbit of the eye?
- Posterior
- Floor
- Medial wall
- Deep. inferior (small corner)
Correct Answer

A. Deep. inferior (small corner)

Explanation

The Palatine makes up the deep inferior (small corner) orbit of the eye.

Rate this question:
13.

The Sphenoid bone makes up the ________ orbit of the eye?
- Floor
- Anterior medial corner
- Anterior, lateral
- Posterior
Correct Answer

A. Posterior

Explanation

The Sphenoid bone makes up the posterior orbit of the eye. This means that it forms the back part of the eye socket, providing support and protection to the eye. The posterior orbit includes the area behind the eye, towards the back of the head.

Rate this question:
14.

Which bones make up the framework of the nose/nasal cavity? a. Maxilla, Septum, Nasal b. Frontal, Ethmoid, Nasal c. Maxilla, Septum, Nasal d.Lacrimal, Palatine, Septum
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct Answer

A. C

Explanation

The framework of the nose/nasal cavity is made up of the maxilla, septum, and nasal bones. The maxilla forms the upper part of the nasal cavity, while the septum and nasal bones form the structure of the nasal bridge and the lower part of the nasal cavity. The frontal and ethmoid bones mentioned in option b are not part of the framework of the nose/nasal cavity. The lacrimal and palatine bones mentioned in option d are also not part of the framework of the nose/nasal cavity.

15.

The Maxilla has a ?

Correct Answer
Right and Left

Explanation
The maxilla is a bone that forms the upper jaw and is located in the facial region. It is a paired bone, meaning that it is present on both the right and left sides of the face. The maxilla plays a crucial role in facial structure, providing support to the teeth and forming the base of the nasal cavity. Therefore, the correct answer is "Right and Left" as the maxilla is present on both sides of the face.
