LAB EXAM P3 Flashcards
Lying face down, IR IS PLACED WHERE
prone, IR is placed on the ventral surface of the body
Upright or marked by a vertical position, IR IS PLACED
Erect, contact with ventral , dorsal, lateral surface
General term referring to lying down in any position
-Named according to the side of the patient closest to the IR
Recumbent, Lateral
Supine position with the head tilted downward
Head is always below the Feet.
Used in the examination of the Large Intestine or Bowel. This position allows the Intestines to Uncoil or Separate.
Placement of the IR:—-
Trendelenburg, In contact with the Dorsal surface of the body.
Head higher than the feet.
Placement of the IR:
Fowlers, In contact with the Dorsal surface of the body.
Lying on the Left Anterior side (semi-prone) with the Left Leg extended and the Right Knee and thigh partially flexed.
Usually used for the Barium Enema test or the CT Scan of the abdomen wherein a dye would be introduced to the rectum of the patient. This position allows for the patient’s Sphincter of the Anus to relax for the easier introduction of the dye.
IR placement
Sims, Partially in contact with the Ventral surface of the body.
Supine position, Knees and Hip flexed, Thigh abducted and rotated externally, and supported by Ankle supports.
A dye would be introduced to the Reproductive Organs of the patient.
Placement of the IR:
Lithotomy, In contact with the Dorsal surface of the body.
Achieved when the entire body or body part is rotated so that the coronal plane is not parallel with the radiographic table of IR.
Semi-prone or Semi-supine
Placement of the IR:
Oblique, Partially in contact with the Dorsal or Ventral surface of the body.
Lying down and the central ray is horizontal and parallel to the floor.
Placement of the IR
Could also be dorsal, lateral, ventral
Left lateral decubitus, Left lateral side of the body.

Decubitus is? oriented
Horizontally

Stratum Lucidum
Appears as grainy
Stratum Granulosum
“Spine” have spiny projection, helps cells stick to each other
Stratum spinosum
Cuboidal/Columnar cell, generation of new skin
Stratum Basale
Its secreting portion lies in the dermis and usually opens into the neck of a hair follicle.
- secrete sebum
SEBACEOUS (OIL)
GLANDS
Release sweat or perspiration into hair follicles or onto the skin surface through pores.
SUDORIFEROUS (SWEAT) GLANDS
Modified sweat glands in the external ear that produce a waxy lubricating secretion.
CERUMINOUS GLANDS
Modified sweat glands in the external ear that produce a waxy lubricating secretion.
CERUMINOUS
GLANDS
Hard plates of dead cells that form a clear, solid covering.
Nails
Has a pink tinge as a result of blood vessels underneath.

portion that is buried in a fold of skin
Nail root
Crescent-shaped area located at the base of nail.
Lunula
The proximal portion deep to the nail
