Question 23

Mucous Membrane

Answer 23

line the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts
coated with secretions of mucous glands

Question 24

Serous Membranes

Answer 24

line body cavities closed to the exterior of the body peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities

Question 25

cutaneous membranes

Answer 25

covers body surface (skin)

Question 26

synovial membranes

Answer 26

line joint cavities and produce the fluid within the joint

Question 27

Serous membrane

Answer 27

thin membrane covering wall and organs in thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
cushion and reduce friction to internal organs as they move
parietal layers: line walls of body cavity
visceral layer: covers organs

Question 28

Serous cavity

Answer 28

between parietal and visceral layers very thin fluid filled serous fluid
provides additional protection to viscera they enclose, reduce friction that could lead to organ inflammation

Question 29

pleural cavity

Answer 29

part of serous membrane that surrounds the lungs in the pleural cavity reduce friction between lungs and the body wall

Question 30

pericardial cavity

Answer 30

serous membrane that surrounds heart in pericardial cavity reduces friction between heart and wall of pericardium

Question 31

peritoneal cavity

Answer 31

serous membrane that surrounds several organs in the abdominopelvic cavity reduces friction between the abdominal and pelvic organs and the body wall

Question 32

X-ray

Answer 32

form of electromagnetic radiation, short wavelength penetrates solid and ionizes gases, used for hard body structures, can damage cells and lead to cancer, isn’t 3 dimensional

Question 33

computed tomography

Answer 33

noninvasive, gives detail, used for soft tissue scanning like brain and thoracic and abdominal viscera, exposes patients to high dose X-rays

Question 34

magnetic resonance imaging

Answer 34

noninvasive, doesn’t expose patients to X-ray, more expensive, patient discomfort such as standing and being enclosed, cannot be used with metal, doctors use to learn about brain abnormalities

Question 35

ultrasonography

Answer 35

least invasive, used for pregnancy, heart function, blood flow in neck or extremities, disadvantages are it is operator dependent and unable to penetrate bone and gas

Question 36

positron emission tomography(PET)

Answer 36

uses radio-pharmaceuticals, substances that emit radiation that is short lived (safer), Illustrates physiological activity including nutrient metabolism and blood flow, can be used to diagnose conditions
