Question 1

Which of the following is used to evaluate rotation on a KUB image?
1)Spinous processes of the lumbar vertebrae should be in the center of the vertebral body.
2)Alae of the ilia are symmetric.
3)Ischial spines, if visible, are symmetric.

Accepted Answer

All three criteria are used to evaluate rotation on a KUB image: the spinous processes should be centered, the alae of the ilia should be symmetric, and the ischial spines should be symmetric if visible.

Question 2

The space between the two layers of peritoneum is called the:

Accepted Answer

The peritoneum is a serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and covers most of the organs within it. The space between the two layers of peritoneum is known as the peritoneal cavity. The pleural cavity is the space between the two layers of pleura surrounding the lungs. The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities. The abdominopelvic cavity is the combined cavity of the abdomen and pelvis.

Question 3

Which of the following organs lie in the abdominal cavity?
1)Stomach
2)Gallbladder
3)Kidneys

Accepted Answer

The stomach, gallbladder, and kidneys are all organs that lie in the abdominal cavity.

Question 4

The inner portion of the sac that covers the abdominal organs is termed the:

Accepted Answer

The visceral peritoneum covers the abdominal organs themselves, while the parietal peritoneum lines the abdominal cavity. The other options refer to the sacs that cover the lungs (pleura).

Question 5

Which structures are outlined with dots in this AP image of the abdomen?

Accepted Answer

The structures outlined with dots in this AP image of the abdomen are kidneys.

Question 6

Which of the following organs lie in the pelvic cavity?
1)Kidneys
2)Rectum
3)Urinary bladder

Accepted Answer

The rectum and urinary bladder are located in the pelvic cavity, while the kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity.

Question 7

The folds of peritoneum that support the abdominal organs are called the:
1)omenta.
2)mesentery.
3)pleura.

Accepted Answer

The folds of peritoneum that support the abdominal organs are called omenta and mesentery. Pleura is a membrane that lines the lungs and chest cavity, not related to the abdominal organs.

Question 8

What is the cavity posterior to the peritoneum?

Accepted Answer

The retroperitoneum is the cavity/posterior space behind the peritoneum, where certain organs such as the kidneys, pancreas, and adrenal glands are located. The parietal peritoneum is the outer layer of the peritoneum that lines the abdominal wall and pelvic cavity. The peritoneal cavity is the space between the visceral and parietal layers of the peritoneum. Retrogastrium is not a recognized anatomical term.

Question 9

The outer portion of the sac that lines the abdominopelvic cavity is termed the:

Accepted Answer

The parietal peritoneum is the outer layer of the peritoneum that lines the abdominopelvic cavity. The visceral peritoneum is the inner layer of the peritoneum that covers the organs within the abdomen. The parietal and visceral pleura are the two layers of membrane that surround the lungs.

Question 10

A three-way abdominal series may be ordered to rule out all of the following except:

Accepted Answer

The answer of A three-way abdominal series may be ordered...
