    THE MOUTH, pHARYNX, & ESOpHAGUS, STOMACH, ETC ARE ALL PARTS OF WHAT

    • FIBROUS LAYER

    • LARGE INTESTINE

    • SMALL INTESTINE

    • ALIMENTARY CANAL

    Correct Answer
    A. ALIMENTARY CANAL
    Explanation
    The mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, etc. are all parts of the alimentary canal. The alimentary canal is a long, hollow tube that runs from the mouth to the anus and is responsible for the digestion and absorption of food. It includes various organs such as the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. These organs work together to break down food into smaller molecules, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste. The term "alimentary canal" is used to refer to the entire digestive system as a whole.

    WHICH ONE MOVES QUICKER?

    • IODINATED SOLUTION

    • BARIUM SULFATE SUSPENSIONS

    Correct Answer
    A. IODINATED SOLUTION
    Explanation
    Iodinated solution moves quicker than barium sulfate suspensions. This is because iodinated solution has lower density and viscosity compared to barium sulfate suspensions. The lower density allows the iodinated solution to move more easily through the body, while the lower viscosity reduces resistance to flow. As a result, the iodinated solution can travel faster and reach its target area more quickly than the barium sulfate suspensions.

    Where does the stomach sit in a asthenic patient?

    • Vertical, low position, below the transpyloric portion

    • Almost horizontal & high, well above the umbilicus

    • To the far left in the hepatic flexure

    • To the far right in the sphenic flexure

    Correct Answer
    A. Vertical, low position, below the transpyloric portion
  • 5. 

    which one is not a part of the accessory gland?

    • Salivary glands

    • Liver

    • Gallbladder

    • Pharynx

    Correct Answer
    A. Pharynx
    Explanation
    The pharynx is not a part of the accessory gland. The salivary glands, liver, and gallbladder are all considered accessory glands as they assist in the digestive process by producing and releasing substances such as saliva, bile, and enzymes. The pharynx, on the other hand, is a part of the digestive and respiratory systems, responsible for swallowing and directing food and air to their respective passages.

    Where does the stomach sit in a hypersthenic patient?

    • Vertical, low position, below the transpyloric portion

    • Almost horizontal & high, well above the umbilicus

    • To the far left in the hepatic flexure

    • To the far right in the sphenic flexure

    Correct Answer
    A. Almost horizontal & high, well above the umbilicus
    Explanation
    In a hypersthenic patient, the stomach sits in an almost horizontal and high position, well above the umbilicus. This means that the stomach is located in the upper part of the abdominal cavity, closer to the diaphragm than to the lower abdomen. This positioning is characteristic of hypersthenic individuals, who tend to have a wider and more rounded body build.

    what secretes digestive enzymes into the alimentary canal?

    • Liver & pancreas

    • Gallbladder

    • Salivary glands

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "all of the above." The liver secretes bile, which aids in the digestion and absorption of fats. The pancreas secretes pancreatic enzymes, such as amylase, lipase, and protease, which help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins respectively. The gallbladder stores and releases bile produced by the liver. The salivary glands secrete saliva, which contains enzymes like amylase that initiate the digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth. Therefore, all of these organs secrete digestive enzymes into the alimentary canal.

  • 8. 

    in the lpo position the side being examined is?

    • Up

    • Down

    Correct Answer
    A. Up
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "up." In the LPO (left posterior oblique) position, the side being examined is the upper side. This position allows for better visualization of the left kidney and surrounding structures by angling the X-ray beam from the patient's back to the front. The LPO position is commonly used in radiology to assess the left kidney and diagnose any abnormalities or conditions affecting it.

    where is the cr 4 LATERAL ESOpHAGUS?

    • PERP TO THE MIDPT OF T7

    • 2-2.5

    • PERP TO THE MIDPT OF T5-T6

    Correct Answer
    A. PERP TO THE MIDPT OF T5-T6
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "PERP TO THE MIDPT OF T5-T6". This means that the cr 4 (cranial 4) lateral esophagus is located perpendicular to the midpoint of the T5-T6 vertebrae.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    for the ESOpHAGUS- rao  how much is the pt obliqued?

    • 35-40

    • 45

    • 25-30

    Correct Answer
    A. 35-40
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 35-40. This range indicates the degree to which the patient is obliqued during the examination of the esophagus using the rao position. Obliquing the patient at this angle allows for better visualization and assessment of the esophagus.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    where do you center the elevated side on rao esophagus?

    • 2 lateral to midsdag plane

    • 2 superior to midsag plane

    • 1.5-2 lateral to midsag plane

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 lateral to midsdag plane
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2 lateral to midsagittal plane. This means that the elevated side of the rao esophagus is centered 2 lateral to the midsagittal plane. This positioning allows for a clear and accurate view of the esophagus during imaging or procedures.

    the digestive system consists of: the accessory glands & the ______________

    Correct Answer
    alimentary canal
    alimentary canal
    canal
    Explanation
    The digestive system consists of two main components: the accessory glands and the alimentary canal. The accessory glands include organs such as the salivary glands, liver, and pancreas, which secrete digestive enzymes and substances that aid in the breakdown of food. The alimentary canal, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, is a long tube that runs from the mouth to the anus and is responsible for the digestion and absorption of nutrients. The term "canal" is a general term that refers to a passageway or tube, but in the context of the digestive system, it specifically refers to the alimentary canal.

    • 3 hours

    • 1-2 hrs

    Correct Answer
    A. 1-2 hrs
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1-2 hrs. This means that it takes approximately 1-2 hours for an iodinated sol to clear the stomach.
