inside) Femoral vein –> Femoral artery –> Femoral nerve (outside

Question 24

Carotid triangle

Answer 24

HEAD

inside) Carotid artery –> Vagus nerve –> Internal Jugular vein (outside

Question 25

Define stratified

Answer 25

Many layers

Question 26

Define squamous

Answer 26

Flat cells

Question 27

What does keratin do

Answer 27

Stops things from drying up

Question 28

Explain how a MRI scan works

How is a 3D image formed?
Why do bones show as negative?

Answer 28

A magnet alligns protons
Radiofrequency pulse causes the protons to FLIP
The time taken for the protons to flip back is measured

Images are taken from all 3 planes –> 3D images
Bones have no protons so show as negative

Question 29

T1 MRI

Answer 29

DARK PARTS: Fluid

BRIGHT PARTS: Fat

Question 30

T2 MRI

Answer 30

DARK PARTS: Fat

BRIGHT PARTS: Fluid

Question 31

How do you distinguish between an X-Ray, CT and MRI

Answer 31

X-Ray: white bones, no organs
CT: white bones, organs
MRI: black bones, organs (T1: white fat, black fluid) (T2: white fluid, black fat)
