Accepted Answer

The technique described in the question, which uses sound waves to produce an image of the fetus, is known as an ultrasound. Option A, X-rays, uses ionizing radiation and is not recommended during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. Option B, CT scans, also uses ionizing radiation and is not typically used during pregnancy unless there is a medical emergency. Option C, MRI, uses a strong magnetic field and is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but may not provide as clear a view of the fetus as an ultrasound. Option E, radiography, also uses ionizing radiation and is not recommended during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary.

Question 8

The two lines, one vertical and one horizontal, that divide the abdominopelvic area into quadrants cross at the

Accepted Answer

The intersection of the two lines that divide the abdominopelvic area into quadrants is known as the umbilicus or navel.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Number 1 identifies the acromial region.

Question 11

The spleen is normally found in which abdominopelvic region?

Accepted Answer

The spleen is located in the left hypochondriac region of the abdominopelvic cavity, which is bordered superiorly by the diaphragm, anteriorly by the abdominal wall, laterally by the left midclavicular line, and inferiorly by the left transverse colon.

Question 12

The kneecap is patellar, whereas the back of the knee is

Accepted Answer

The back of the knee is known as the popliteal region. Option A (crural) refers to the leg as a whole, Option B (pedal) refers to the foot, Option C (manual) refers to the hands, and Option E (pubic) refers to the pelvic region.

Question 13

Question 14

The heart is surrounded by the ________ membrane.

Accepted Answer

The pericardial membrane surrounds the heart and consists of two layers: the outer fibrous layer and the inner serous layer.

Question 15

A diagnostic technique that employs a radiopaque dye injected into blood vessels is called a(n)

Accepted Answer

The specific diagnostic technique described involves injecting a radiopaque dye into blood vessels, which is a key component of digital subtractive angiography (DSA). Radiographs, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds do not necessarily involve the use of injected dyes.
