Styloglossus is supplied by Hyoglossal
nerve. Stylohyoid and Occipitofrontalis is
supplied by facial nerve.
3. A - 1- Morula 2- Blastula
The morula is produced by a series of
cleavage divisions of the early embryo,
starting with the single-celled zygote. Once
the embryo has divided into 16 cells, it begins
to resemble a mulberry, hence the name
morula . Within a few days after fertilization,
cells on the outer part of the morula become
bound tightly together with the formation of
desmosomes and gap junctions, becoming
nearly indistinguishable. This process is
known as compaction. A cavity forms inside
the morula, by the active transport of sodium
ions from trophoblast cells and osmosis of
water. This results in a hollow ball of cells
known as the blastocyst

forward, forming a loop which is crossed by
the hypoglossal nerve, and passing beneath
the Digastricus and Stylohyoideus it runs
horizontally forward, beneath the Hyoglossus,
and finally, ascending almost perpendicularly
to the tongue, turns forward on its lower
surface as far as the tip, under the name of
the deep lingual artery (profunda linguae ).
8. B - Brachiocephalic Vein
Pathway of spread of infection from lower
lip to blood isLip>Submental and
Submandibular lymph nodes > Right and left
jugular lymph trunk and finally enter into
brachiocephalic vein either through internal
jugular or Subclavian vein.

11. A - Anastomosis between branch of
maxillary artery and branch of facial artery
Kiesselbach's plexus, which lies in
Kiesselbach's area, Kiesselbach's triangle, or
Little's area, is a region in the anteroinferior
part of the nasal septum where four arteries
anastomose to form a vascular plexus. The
arteries are: Anterior ethmoidal artery (branch
of the ophthalmic artery), Sphenopalatine
artery (terminal branch of the maxillary artery),
Greater palatine artery (from the maxillary
artery), Septal branch of the superior labial
artery (from the facial artery)

ANATOMY SHORT TESTS
The external carotid artery begins at the
upper border of thyroid cartilage, and curves,
passing forward and upward, and then
inclining backward to the space behind the
neck of the mandible, where it divides into the
superficial temporal and maxillary artery within
the parotid gland.As the artery travels
upwards, it supplies:In the carotid triangle:
Superior thyroid artery, arising from its anterior
aspect Ascending pharyngeal artery - arising
from medial, or deep, aspect Lingual artery -
arising from its anterior aspect Facial artery -
arise from its anterior aspect Occipital artery -
arising from its posterior aspect Posterior
auricular artery - arising from posterior aspect
The external carotid artery terminates as two
branches: Maxillary artery Superficial temporal
artery
14. B - Internal carotid artery
The internal carotid artery is a major paired
artery, one on each side of the head and neck.
The curve in the cavernous segment is called
the carotid siphon.
15. D - Infra orbital
Infra orbital artery arises from third part of
maxillary artery
