# Which of the following is a monosaccharide?
a. Galactose
b. Lactose
c. Maltose
d. Sucrose
Sucrose, lactose and maltose are disaccharides.
Sucrose = Glucose + Fructose
Lactose = Galactose + Glucose
Maltose = Glucose + Glucose
In the plasma membrane, glycolipids are usually situated in:
# In the plasma membrane, glycolipids are usually situated in:
a. Cannot be predicted, it varies according to the cell types.
b. Inner leaflet of plasma the membrane.
c. Outer leaflet of the plasma membrane.
d. Evenly distributed in both outer and inner leaves of plasma membrane.
Glycolipids are found on the outer leaflet of cellular membranes where it play not only a structural role to maintain membrane stability but also facilitates cell to cell communication acting as receptors, anchors for protein and regulators of signal transduction. Cell surface carbohydrates play major roles in cell substrate recognition in oncogenesis, cell adhesion in metastasis.
Nerve of pterygoid canal is also known as:
# Nerve of pterygoid canal is also known as:
A. Vidian nerve
B. Radial nerve
C. Musician’s nerve
D. None of the above
The correct answer is a. Vidian nerve.
The vidian nerve (also known as the nerve of the pterygoid canal) is formed by the union of the deep and greater petrosal nerves, the latter being a branch of the facial nerve at the level of the geniculate ganglion.
The nerve of the pterygoid canal (Vidian nerve) is formed by the junction of the greater petrosal nerve and deep petrosal nerve, which passes from the foramen lacerum to the pterygopalatine fossa through the pterygoid canal.
Proximal segment of mandibular angle fracture
# The proximal segment of mandibular angle fracture usually displaced in which direction ?
a. Anterior and superior
b. Posterior and inferior
c. Inferior only
d. Posterior and superior
The correct answer is A. Anterior and superior.
Fractures of angle of mandible are influenced by the pull of medial pterygoid, masseter and temporalis
muscles, which displace the ramus in superior and anterior direction. This is a liorizontally unfavorable
fracture.
Golden period for treatment of open wound is?
# Golden period for treatment of open wound is?
A. 2 hrs
B. 4 hrs
C. 6 hrs
D. 8 hrs
The correct answer is B. 4 hours.
In the first 4 hours after a breach in an epithelial surface and underlying connective tissues, there is delay in the mobilisation of host defences. This period is called 'decisive period' and during this period bacterial colonisation and established infection can begin. It is logical that prophylactic antibiotics will be most effective during this time.
Tessier classification is used for
# Tessier classification used for
A. Isolated cleft palate
B. Facial cleft
C. TMJ internal disorder
D. White lesion of oral mucosa
The correct answer is B. Facial cleft.
Dr. paul Tessier, the father of the field of craniofacial surgery, developed a classification system for craniofacial clefts that is the most widely used of those available today.
Rhytidectomy is associated with which nerve involvement?
# Rhytidectomy is associated with which nerve involvement?
A. Great auricular nerve
B. Auriculotemporal nerve
C. Marginal mandibular nerve
D. Sympathetic plexus around ICA
The correct answer is A. Greater auricular nerve.
Rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure meant to counteract the effects of time on the aging face. In the rhytidectomy procedure (also known as a “face-lift”), the tissues under the skin are tightened and excess facial and neck skin are excised. Rhytidectomy literally means wrinkle (rhytid-) removal (-ectomy).
The great auricular nerve, which supplies sensation to the skin of the ear and nearby skin is the most commonly injured in a rhytidectomy.
