Study Notes
Lymphatic System
- Lymph: a colorless, watery fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system, carrying waste and impurities from cells
- Lymph capillaries: blind-end tubes occurring individually or in clusters, origin of lymphatic vessels
- Lymph nodes: glandlike structures that filter lymph, found inside lymphatic vessels
- Lymphatic/immune system: consists of lymph, lymph nodes, thymus gland, spleen, and lymph vessels, aiding the blood system
Muscles and Bones
- Mandible: lower jawbone
- Mandibular nerve: branch of the fifth cranial nerve, affecting muscles of the chin, lower lip, and external ear
- Marginal mandibular nerve: affects muscles of the chin and lower lip
- Masseter: one of the jaw muscles used in chewing
- Maxillae: bones of the upper jaw
- Maxillary nerve: supplies impulses to the upper part of the face
- Mental nerve: affects the skin of the lower lip and chin
- Mentalis muscle: elevates the lower lip and raises and wrinkles the skin of the chin
Bones and Arteries
- Metacarpals: bones of the palm, consisting of five slender bones between the carpus and the phalanges
