30
List the missing common plane used in sectional imaging – sagittal, oblique, axial, _______.
coronal
31
Briefly describe the difference between an axial and helical imaging method in CT.
Axial scanning is one slice at a time. Helical scanning is a volume of anatomy scanned, secondarily reconstructed into slices with post-processing.
32
When completing a general study in MRI, the signal from which element is collected?
hydrogen
33
What is generally used to create the echo in ultrasound imaging?
sounds waves
34
What type of signal is detected from the radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine?
gamma rays
35
What compound is specific to image generation with PET imaging?
glucose
36
What is the name of the structures through which CSF will pass from the lateral ventricles to the third ventricle?
Foramen of Monro
interventricular foramen
37
Which basal ganglia is missing from this list? caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus, _________.
claustrum
38
What is the name of the dural sinus that carries venous blood from the confluence of sinuses to the sigmoid sinuses?
transverse sinus
39
What is the name of the 3 structures that form the brainstem?
midbrain, pons, medullar oblongata
40
What is the name of the second cranial nerve?
optic nerve
41
What are the names for the three meningeal layers?
dura mater, arachnoid membrane, pia mater
42
Which two segments of the vertebral column have lordotic curvature?
cervical and lumbar
43
What do the cervical and brachial nerve plexuses innervate in general?
the neck and shoulder
43
Describe the general position of the gray and white matter within the spinal cord compared to the cerebral cortex.
The grey matter is found within the central region of the spinal cord and the white matter surrounds it. The cerebral cortex has grey matter on the external regions with white matter medial for relay of stimulus.
44
From which arteries do the vertebral arteries arise from?
right and left subclavian arteries
45
How many spinal nerves pairs are there?
31
46
All of the following are a general characteristic of a cervical vertebra EXCEPT:
47
Briefly describe what it means to decrease slice thickness for sectional imaging.
Increase the number of slices taken from a specific region of anatomy; decrease the thickness of anatomy included within a slice
48
Which vessel connects the anterior cerebral arteries in the Circle of Willis?
anterior communicating artery
