| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| I am the collection of nerves, ganglia, and plexuses through which visceral organs, heart, blood vessels, galnds, and smooth muscles receive their innervations. | Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) |
| I am nerve fibers that conduct impulses away from the cell body. | Axon(s) |
| I am the sudden but temporary unilateral facial paralysis from unknown cause. | Bell's Palsy |
| I am the brain and the spinal cord. | Central Nervous System (CNS) |
| I am nerve fibers that conduct impulses toward the cell body. | Dendrites |
| I carry a message away from the spinal cord and brain and directs the body to act. | Motor Neurons |
| I am a disease that destroys the myelin sheath of the neurons in the central nervous system resulting in impulses that cannot transmit to their destinations. | Multiple Sclerosis (MS) |
| I am a chronic nervous disease characterized by slowing spreading tremors, muscular weakness, and a particular gait. | Parkinson's Disease |
| I am all of the nerves outside the central nervous system. | Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) |
| I am the conduit throug which nerve fibers move impulses from one to another. | Synapse |
| I am either the labial surface of the anterior teeth or the buccal surface of the posterior teeth. It pertains to the surface of the cheek and lips. | Facial |
| I am the cranial nerve that exits the brainstem out from the sides of the medulla. The ninth cranial nerve. | Glossopharyngeal |
| I supply motor fibers to all of the muscles of the tongue, except the palatoglossus muscle. | Hypoglossal |
| I intervate the anterior teeth and the labial gingival; I am a branch of the inferiror alveolar nerve. | Incisive Nerve Branch |
| I am composed of both sensory and motor neurons and I am the largest division of the trigeminal nerve. | Mandibular Nerve Branch |
| I am a sensory nerve that innervates the nose, cheeks, palate, gingival, maxillary teeth, maxillary sinus, tonsils, nasopharynx, and other facial features. | Maxillary Nerve Branch |
| I am the largest division of the trigeminal nerve. | Mental Nerve Branch |
| I supply the mlyohyoid muscle and the anterior belly of the digastrics muscles. | Mylohyoid Nerve Branch |
| I divide into the greater palatine nerve, the lesser palatine nerve, and the nasopalatine nerve. | Pterygopalatine Nerve Branch |
| I am the largest cranial nerve and most important to dental auxiliaries because I innervate the maxilla and the mandible dividing the semi-lunar ganglion into three branches. I am the fifth cranial nerve. | Trigeminal |
| Without pain; feelin of a lack of pain. | Analgesia |
| I am the most common typeof syring designed to allow the operator to check the positon of the needle before depositing the anesthetic solution. | Aspirating Syringe |
| I am used to administer all traditional infiltration and block injections; I deliver a pressured volume of anesthetic solution at a controlled rate. | Computer-Controlled Local Anesthesia |
| I am a electronic anesthesia method that has a low to moderated level of sucess but best used with nitrous oxide inhalation sedation or for a patient that cannot tolerate local anesthetics. | Electronic Controlled Local Anesthesia |
| I am a low pain tolerance ability; over sesitive or superactive response to pain. | Hyperkinetic |
| I am a high pain tolterance ability; under sensitive or underactive response to pain. | Hypokinetic |
| I am an injection of a local anesthetic that is directly into the cancellous bone (spongy bone) | Intraosseous Anesthesia |
| I am atechnique that deposits the anesthetic directly into the pulp chamber or root canal of the involved tooth. | Intrapulpal Injection |
| I am also know as an intraligamentary injection, I have a variety of uses; and involve inserting a needle into the gingival sulcus along the long axis of the tooth to be treated. | Periodontal Ligament Injection |
| I am a drug added to the anesthetic solutions that constrict blood vessels around the injection site, reducing the blood flow in the area | Vasoconstrictor |
| I am an injection into a nerve bundle to enable anesthesia to a wider area, such as the mandibular quadrant of teeth. | Block Anesthesia |
| I am a glass container of anesthetic solution. | Carpules |
| I am a Connecticut dentist who was the first to use nitrous oxide as an anesthetic during dental surgery (1815-1848) | Horace Wells |
| I am an injection method that places anesthetic solution into the tissues near the small terminal nerve branches for absorption. | Infiltration Anesthesia |
| I am the injection of ansesthetic into the peridental ligament | Intraligamentary |
| I am a reaction taht may cause high fever, muscle rigidity, and fluctuations in heart and blood pressure. | Malignant Hyperthermia |
| I am the federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for work related sickness and health; it is part of the Centers for Disease Control (CCD) | National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) |
| I am an oder-free gas derived from nitrogen and oxygen; used as a sedative before anesthesia; I relieve anxiety and fear | Nitrous Oxide |
| I am the sensation fo being numb | Paresthesia |
| I am the limited opening of the mouth | Trismus |
