1. The person accredited with the initial descovery of x ray is

Explanation

Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen is credited with the initial discovery of X-rays. In 1895, while conducting experiments with cathode rays, Roentgen noticed a fluorescent glow coming from a nearby screen. He deduced that this glow was caused by a new type of ray that was being emitted from the cathode tube. Roentgen called these rays "X-rays" due to their unknown nature. He went on to conduct further experiments and published his findings, which revolutionized the field of medicine and led to the development of X-ray imaging technology.

23. Which of the following modalities can be used to determine flow velocities through vasculature?

Explanation

Ultrasound can be used to determine flow velocities through vasculature. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the body's internal structures, including blood vessels. By analyzing the Doppler shift in the frequency of the reflected sound waves, ultrasound can measure the speed and direction of blood flow in the vasculature. This information is valuable for diagnosing conditions such as blood clots, narrowing of blood vessels, and evaluating the effectiveness of treatments. MRI and Spiral CT can also provide information about blood flow, but ultrasound is specifically known for its ability to assess flow velocities in the vasculature. Teleradiology is not a modality used for determining flow velocities through vasculature.

Therefore, tuberculosis is the most appropriate answer in this context.

Submit
71. this is which of the following?

Explanation

The correct answer is tension pneumo. Tension pneumothorax is a condition where air accumulates in the pleural space and cannot escape, causing the lung to collapse and putting pressure on the heart and other structures in the mediastinum. This can lead to a shift of the mediastinum to the opposite side. Lung cancer is a separate condition involving the abnormal growth of cells in the lung tissue. Therefore, the correct answer is tension pneumo.

Submit
72. Which of the following is true about X rays?

Explanation

Denser materials cause less blackening in X rays because X rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves that can penetrate through materials. When X rays pass through a material, they interact with the atoms and electrons in the material. Denser materials have more atoms and electrons, which results in more interactions and scattering of the X rays. This scattering reduces the amount of blackening on the X-ray film or detector, making denser materials appear less black.

84. This condition is known as

Explanation

Atelectasis refers to the partial or complete collapse of the lung or a section of the lung. It can be caused by various factors such as blockage of the airway, lung diseases, or surgery. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, and chest pain. Cardiomegaly refers to an enlarged heart, pneumonia is an infection in the lungs, and heart failure is a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. None of these conditions directly relate to the collapse of the lung, making atelectasis the correct answer.

85. X rays are generated when a stream of electrom traveling from one side of a vacuum tube is stopped suddenly by its impact on the

Explanation

X-rays are generated when a stream of electrons traveling from one side of a vacuum tube is stopped suddenly by its impact on the tungsten target of the anode. The tungsten target of the anode is the part of the vacuum tube where the electrons collide and release energy in the form of x-rays. The tungsten material is chosen because it has a high melting point and can withstand the high temperatures generated during the x-ray production process.

Submit
86. this is?

Explanation

A hemothorax is a condition where blood accumulates in the pleural cavity, the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This can occur due to trauma or injury to the chest, causing blood vessels to rupture and bleed into the pleural space. Symptoms of a hemothorax may include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and decreased breath sounds on the affected side. Treatment typically involves draining the blood from the pleural cavity and addressing the underlying cause of the bleeding.

88. All of the following are examples of electromagnetic radiation except

Explanation

Beta rays are not examples of electromagnetic radiation because they are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Beta rays are streams of high-energy electrons or positrons emitted by certain types of radioactive decay. Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves or particles that carry energy through space, such as x-rays, gamma rays, microwaves, and light waves.

89. Which word refers to the surfaces of the maxillary teeth facing the inside of the mouth?

Explanation

The word "palatal" refers to the surfaces of the maxillary teeth facing the inside of the mouth. This term specifically relates to the upper teeth and describes the aspect of the teeth that is in contact with the roof of the mouth.

Submit
90. This condition is known as

Explanation

Atelectasis refers to the partial or complete collapse of a lung or a section of it. It occurs when the tiny air sacs in the lung, called alveoli, deflate and cause the lung tissue to collapse. This condition can be caused by various factors, such as blockage of the airways, lung diseases, or surgery. Symptoms of atelectasis include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, and decreased oxygen levels. Cardiomegaly refers to an enlarged heart, pneumonia is an infection in the lungs, and heart failure is a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.

Submit
91. What are called the occlusal surface?

Explanation

The occlusal surface refers to the biting surfaces of the posterior teeth, which are the molars and premolars. These surfaces are used for chewing and grinding food. The anterior teeth, which are the incisors and canines, have cutting edges and are not considered occlusal surfaces. The term "occlusal" comes from the word "occlusion," which refers to the way the upper and lower teeth come together when biting or chewing.

Submit
92. What surrounds the root of the tooth and connects it to the alveolar bone?

Explanation

The periodontal ligament surrounds the root of the tooth and connects it to the alveolar bone. It provides support and stability to the tooth by anchoring it in the socket. The ligament is made up of collagen fibers that attach to the cementum on the root surface and the alveolar bone. It also helps in absorbing the forces exerted on the tooth during biting and chewing.

Submit
93. this is?

Explanation

Hemothorax refers to the accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity, the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This condition can occur due to trauma, such as a chest injury or a ruptured blood vessel, leading to internal bleeding. Symptoms of hemothorax include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and decreased breath sounds on one side of the chest. Given the options provided, hemothorax is the most appropriate answer as it directly relates to the accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity.

Submit
94. Which of the following does not occur when the gigh voltage circuit is activated?

Explanation

When the high voltage circuit is activated, x rays are not produced at the filament. X rays are produced when electrons are fired across the tube and hit the target. The filament is responsible for emitting electrons, but it does not produce x rays directly.

Submit
95. What are the rounded elevations on the chwing surface of cuspids premolars and molars called?

Explanation

Cusps are the rounded elevations found on the chewing surface of cuspids, premolars, and molars. These cusps help in the process of grinding and chewing food. They are sharp and pointed, allowing for efficient breakdown of food particles. The cusps also aid in the proper alignment and occlusion of the teeth, ensuring a balanced bite.

Submit
96. You turn on the dental x ray machine in the morning for you first patient . in doing so you

Explanation

When you turn on the dental x-ray machine, you activate the filament circuit. The filament circuit is responsible for heating the filament of the x-ray tube. The filament, when heated, releases electrons which are then accelerated towards the anode. This process is necessary to produce x-rays. Therefore, activating the filament circuit is an essential step in the functioning of the dental x-ray machine.

Submit
97. What is the name of the primary tooth designated H.

Explanation

The correct answer is "right mandibular central incisor" because primary teeth are designated by letters instead of numbers. The letter "H" is used to designate the right mandibular central incisor in the primary dentition.

Submit
98. What is the part of the gingiva that extends beyond the cementoenamel junction called?

Explanation

The part of the gingiva that extends beyond the cementoenamel junction is called the free gingiva. The free gingiva is the unattached portion of the gingiva that surrounds the tooth and forms a protective barrier. It is also known as the marginal gingiva or the gum margin. The free gingiva is important for maintaining the health of the tooth and surrounding tissues.

Submit
99. The cementoenamel junction is at the junction of which parts of a tooth?

Explanation

The cementoenamel junction is the point where the enamel, which covers the crown of the tooth, meets the cementum, which covers the root of the tooth. Therefore, the correct answer is crown and root.

Submit
100. Which of the following delineates where the thermionic emission effect takes place?

Explanation

The thermionic emission effect takes place in the focal area. Thermionic emission is the process of electrons being emitted from a heated surface. In the focal area, the electrons are emitted from a heated filament and accelerated towards the anode, creating a focused beam of electrons. This is commonly used in devices such as cathode ray tubes and X-ray machines. The other options mentioned, such as the tungsten target, tungsten filament of the anode, tungsten filament at the cathode, and step down transformer, are not directly related to the thermionic emission effect.

Submit
101. Which of the following occurs at 70 kvp or higher and account for a very small part of the xrays produced in the dental xray machine?

Explanation

Characteristic radiation occurs at 70 kVp or higher and accounts for a very small part of the x-rays produced in the dental x-ray machine.
