Question 1

Which of the following lies in the anterior neck?&#10;1)Thyroid gland&#10;2)Parathyroid glands&#10;3)Thymus gland&#10;A) 1 and 2&#10;B) 1 and 3&#10;C) 2 and 3&#10;D) 1, 2, and 3

Accepted Answer

Thyroid gland and Parathyroid glands are both located in the anterior neck. The thymus gland is located in the mediastinum, which is in the center of the chest.

Question 2

For the AP projection of the pharynx and larynx, the central ray should be directed perpendicular to the:&#10;A) thyroid cartilage.&#10;B) laryngeal prominence.&#10;C) cricoid cartilage.&#10;D) jugular notch.

Accepted Answer

laryngeal prominence.

Question 3

The anatomy identified on the lateral neck below is the:&#10; &#10;A) oropharynx.&#10;B) esophagus.&#10;C) larynx.&#10;D) trachea.

Accepted Answer

trachea.

Question 4

The laryngeal prominence known as the Adam's apple is the:&#10;A) epiglottis.&#10;B) cricoid cartilage.&#10;C) thyroid cartilage.&#10;D) hyoid bone.

Accepted Answer

The laryngeal prominence, or Adam's apple, is formed by the thyroid cartilage. The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that helps to prevent food from entering the trachea. The cricoid cartilage is another cartilaginous structure in the larynx, but it is located below the thyroid cartilage. The hyoid bone is not part of the laryngeal area, but rather a bone located in the neck that provides attachment for various muscles involved in swallowing and speaking.

Question 5

All of the following are techniques used during radiographic examination of the pharyngolaryngeal structures except:&#10;A) swallowing.&#10;B) phonation.&#10;C) sneezing.&#10;D) breathing.

Accepted Answer

Sneezing is not a technique used during radiographic examination of the pharyngolaryngeal structures. Swallowing, phonation, and breathing are techniques commonly used during the exam.

Question 6

The roof of the posterior wall of the nasopharynx contains a mass of lymphoid tissue known as the:&#10;A) thymus gland.&#10;B) thyroid gland.&#10;C) pharyngeal tonsil.&#10;D) epiglottis.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The roof of the posterior wall of...

Question 7

The organ of voice is the:&#10;A) uvula.&#10;B) epiglottis.&#10;C) pharynx.&#10;D) larynx.

Accepted Answer

The organ of voice is the larynx, which contains the vocal cords. The uvula, epiglottis, and pharynx are important structures in the respiratory and digestive systems, but they are not directly involved in producing sound.

Question 8

Which of the following serves as a passage for both food and air?&#10;A) Pharynx&#10;B) Larynx&#10;C) Trachea&#10;D) Bronchus

Accepted Answer

The pharynx serves as a passage for both food and air. It is a muscular tube that connects the mouth and nasal cavities to the esophagus and trachea. When we swallow, the epiglottis covers the trachea to prevent food from entering it, and directs it to the esophagus. When we breathe, the epiglottis opens up to allow air to pass through the trachea and into the lungs.

Question 9

Which is the most common imaging modality for examination of the soft palate, pharynx, and larynx?&#10;A) Computed radiography&#10;B) Computed tomography&#10;C) Magnetic resonance imaging&#10;D) Nuclear medicine

Accepted Answer

Computed tomography (CT) is the most common imaging modality for examination of the soft palate, pharynx, and larynx. CT provides detailed images of the anatomical structures and allows for accurate assessment of any abnormalities or lesions present. Computed radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine may also be used in some cases, but they are not considered as commonly used modalities for this particular area of examination.
