Which of the following is not a primary muscle of mastication? Masseter muscle Temporal muscle Pterygoid muscle Zygomaticus muscle Digastricus muscle Please select an option Incorrect. The masseter muscles are jaw closing muscles and so are important in mastication. They are derived from the first visceral arch and are innervated by the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. They originate from the maxillary region of the skull and zygomatic arch and insert on the caudal side of the mandible. WikiVet Article: Mastication Incorrect. The temporal muscles are jaw closing muscles and so are important in mastication. They are derived from the first visceral arch and are innervated by the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. They originate from the lateral surface of the cranium and insert on the coronoid process. WikiVet Article: Mastication Incorrect. The lateral and medial pterygoid muscles are jaw closing muscles and so are important in mastication. They are derived from the first visceral arch and are innervated by the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. The lateral pterygoid muscle originates from the pterygopalantine region of the skull and inserts on the lateral aspect of the mandible. The medial pterygoid muscle originates from the pterygopalantine region of the skull and inserts on the medial aspect of the mandible. WikiVet Article: Mastication Correct! The zygomaticus muscles purse the lips and are primarily muscles of facial expression. WikiVet Article: Mastication Incorrect. The digastricus muscles are jaw opening muscles and so are important in mastication. There are two muscle bellies; the cranial muscle belly is derived from the first visceral arch and is innervated by the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve and the caudal muscle belly is derived from the second visceral arch and is innervated by the facial nerve. They originate from the paracondylar process of the occipital bone and insert on the angle of the mandible. WikiVet Article: Mastication

Which laryngeal muscle is the principle abductor of the arytenoids? Cricothyroid muscle Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle Transverse arytenoid muscle Thyroarytenoid muscle Dorsal cricoarytenoid muscle Please select an option Incorrect. The cricothyroid muscle moves cricoid and arytenoid cartilages caudally thereby tensing the vocal folds. Contraction of the dorsal cricoarytenoid muscle dilates the larynx by abducting the arytenoid cartilage and therefore the vocal cords. WikiVet Article: Larynx Incorrect. The lateral cricoarytenoid muscle adducts the vocal processes thereby narrowing the glottis. Contraction of the dorsal cricoarytenoid muscle dilates the larynx by abducting the arytenoid cartilage and therefore the vocal cords. WikiVet Article: Larynx Incorrect. The transverse arytenoid muscle passes between the two arytenoid cartilages and it narrows the glottis. Contraction of the dorsal cricoarytenoid muscle dilates the larynx by abducting the arytenoid cartilage and therefore the vocal cords. WikiVet Article: Larynx Incorrect. The thyroarytenoid muscle alters the tension of the vocal and vestibular folds.

What is the permanent dental formula of a horse? 2 (I 3/ 3, C 1/ 1, P 3-4/ 3, M 3/ 3) 2 ( I 3/ 3, C 1/ 1, P 4/ 4 M 3/ 3) 2 ( I 3/ 3, C 1/ 1, P 3/ 3-4, M 4/ 4) 2 (I 3/ 3, C 1/ 1, P 3/ 3, M 3/ 3) 2 ( I 3/ 3, C 1/ 1, P 3-4/ 3, M 4/ 4) Please select an option Correct! In the horse, upper premolar one, or the wolf tooth, is often lacking, hence the upper dental formula of P 3-4. Horses have three upper and three lower molar teeth on each side, which work in a unit along with their premolars. Females usually don't have canines so the formula is often written 1(0)/ 1(0) for mares. WikiVet Article: dental formula. Incorrect. The horse only has three lower premolars but usually has an extra upper premolar i.e. premolar one or the wolf tooth. The dental formula should read 2 (I 3/ 3, C 1/ 1, P 3-4/ 3, M 3/ 3).Females usually don't have canines so the formula is often written 1(0)/ 1(0) for mares. WikiVet Article: dental formula. Incorrect. The horse only has three lower premolars but usually has an extra upper premolar i.e. premolar one, or the wolf tooth. Also horses have three lower and three upper premolars so thedental formula should read 2 (I 3/ 3, C 1/ 1, P 3-4/ 3, M 3/ 3). Females usually don't have canines so the formula is often written 1(0)/ 1(0) for mares. WikiVet Article: dental formula. Incorrect. Although this dental formula may be correct for many horses, most horses have an extra upper premolar i.e. premolar one, or the wolf tooth. The dental formula should read 2 (I 3/ 3, C 1/ 1, P 3-4/ 3, M 3/ 3). Females usually don't have canines so the formula is often written 1(0)/ 1(0) for mares. WikiVet Article: dental formula. Incorrect. Horses have three lower and three upper molars. The dental formula should read 2 (I 3/ 3, C 1/ 1, P 3-4/ 3, M 3/ 3).
