Tips for Oral Bio Exam 1

Honestly, it was more simple than I anticipated. Melissa Le was right.

But, I did end up getting a B (85%) on it- shockingly! i felt pretty confident.

Question: which of the following is NOT derived from oral ectoderm.

options: oral epi, dentin, enamel, cementum, something else.

Also, first signs of dentition are at what age?

CRANIAL nerves for each pharyngeal arch. tested on cranial nerve 5, 7, 9, 10, 11.

know the purposes of the pre-eruptive, prefunctional eruptive, functional eruptive.

MD cleft formation vs MX cleft formation: causes and

did NOT get asked about the bones of each arch.

but know the diagram of the clefts/ grooves. ie, groove 1 and 2 turn into what structure??? palantine tonsil? or external auditory meatus? or timpanic membrane?

what worked for me: turning melissa’s study guide into a quizlet, and drawing out all the diagrams. just screenshot them and try labelling them yourself on your tablet, using the eraser to test yourself.

also, turn those developmental sh*t into flashcards!! so you remember what happens in each week!
