Which of the following glands is responsible for this cooling process? d) Eccrine e) Mammary 2.) The carotid foramen is to the foramen spinosum. a) Anterior d) medial 3.) The womer bone is located inside the b) orbital cavity c) cranial cavity d) oral cavity 10) The infraorbital foramina are located on the c) mandible d) maxilla e) ethmoid 11) Ossification is the formation of bone by a) osteocytes 12)The outer surface of a bone is covered by: a) epiphysis b) endosteum d) diaphysis 13.) lfPTH increases, osteoclast activity a) increases b) decreases c) remain the same correct d) both A and answers are

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1) The gland responsible for cooling process is d). Eccrine glands

*When body temperature rises, the eccrine glands (distributed almost all over the human body) secrete fluid onto the surface of the skin, where it cools the body as it evaporates.

2) The carotid foramen is a). anterior to the foramen shinosum.

*The external opening of the carotid canal is called as carotid foramen. The carotid canal starts on the inferior surface of the temporal bone at the external opening of carotid canal.

3) Vomer bone is located inside the a). Nasal cavity

*The vomer is one of the unpaired facial bones of the skull. It is thin, somewhat quadrilateral in shape, and forms the hinder and lower part of the nasal septum.

10) The infraorbital foramina is located on the d). Maxilla

*The infraorbital foramen is an opening in the maxillary bone of the skull located below the infraorbital margin of the orbit. The infraorbital foramina is used as a pressure point to test the sensitivity of the infraorbital nerve.
