Question 119 · LDEK · Physiology of the masticatory system and occlusion
A gradual loss of teeth triggers in the stomatognatic system:
1) pathological processes;
2) physiological reserves;
3) compensation processes;
4) functional compensatory mechanisms;
5) irreversible functional damage.
The correct answer is:
2) physiological reserves;
3) compensation processes;
4) functional compensatory mechanisms;
5) irreversible functional damage.
The correct answer is:
- A. 1,2,3.
- B. 1,3,4.
- C. 1,4,5.
- D. 1,3,5.
- E. 2,3,4.
Hint
Consider how a biological system first responds to gradual change — adaptation comes before decompensation.
