The term "parietal" indeed refers to the outer wall or lining of a body cavity.

Question 8

CT scans usually produce sharper images of soft tissue than images obtained using MRI.

Accepted Answer

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is generally better at distinguishing between different types of soft tissue, making it more effective for imaging non-bony parts or soft tissues of the body compared to CT (Computed Tomography) scans.

Question 9

A cytometer is an instrument for measuring cells.

Accepted Answer

A cytometer is indeed an instrument used for measuring various characteristics of cells, such as their size, count, and complexity, often through the use of flow cytometry technology.

Question 10

Hist/o/lysis refers to the formation of bone.

Accepted Answer

Histolysis refers to the breakdown or destruction of tissues, not the formation of bone.

Question 11

Nucleus refers to a tumor.

Accepted Answer

Nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells that contains the cell's chromosomes, hence directing the activities of the cell, not a tumor.

Question 12

The sacral region is the upper back.

Accepted Answer

The sacral region refers to the area of the lower back near the base of the spine, not the upper back.

Question 13

Contrast media facilitate imaging of structures that are otherwise difficult to visualize on x-ray films.

Accepted Answer

Contrast media enhance the contrast between different tissues in the body, making it easier to distinguish structures that are difficult to see on standard x-ray images.

N) Radiopharmaceutical
O) Sepsis
P) Superior
Q) Tomography
R) Toxic
