and Related Anatomy 10th Edition by John - Ch. 1-20,
9780323749565, with Rationales
What is the most common of all radiographic procedures? - ANSWER: Chest
What is another name for chest? - ANSWER: Thorax
What is the chest? - ANSWER: upper portion of the trunk between the neck and abdomen
Radiographic anatomy of the chest is divided into how many sections? Name them - ANSWER: 1. Bony
Thorax
2. Respiratory System proper
3. Mediastinum
What is the bony thorax? - ANSWER: The part of the skeletal system that provides framework for the
parts of the chest involves with breathing and blood circulation.
What is the term thoracic viscera used to describe? - ANSWER: The parts of the chest, consisting of
the lung and the remaining thoracic organs contained in the mediastinum
Anterior what is located in the chest? - ANSWER: 1.sternum (manubrium, body, xiphoid process)
(breastbone)
Superiorly the bony thorax consists of - ANSWER: 2 clavicles (collarbone)
2 Scapulae (shoulder blades)
12 pair of ribs that circle the thorax
12 thoracic vertebrae posteriorly
What does accurate and consistent radiographic positioning require? - ANSWER: Certain landmarks,
or reference points, that can be used to center the image receptor correctly to ensure that all
essential anatomy is include on that specific projection.
Where should these land marks be? - ANSWER: Should be parts of the body that are easily and
consistently located on patients.
What are two landmarks for chest positioning? - ANSWER: Vertebra prominens
Jugular notch
What is the vertebra prominens used for? - ANSWER: Important landmark for determining the central
ray location on a posterioanterior or (PA) chest projection.
Where is the vertebra prominens located? - ANSWER: C7
How can the vertebra prominens be located/palpitated? Easier when - ANSWER: applying light
pressure with the fingertips at the base of the neck. Easier when flexed
What is the jugular notch important for? - ANSWER: important landmark for determining the CR
placement on (AP) chest projections.
,How is the jugular notch palpated for? - ANSWER: The deep notch or depression (dent) on the
superior portion of the sternum below the thyroid cartilage.
What can be located using the vertebra prominens and the jugular notch (two landmarks)? - ANSWER:
The midthorax at T7
What is respiration? - ANSWER: the exchange of gaseous substance between the air we breathe and
the bloodstream.
The respiratory consists of the parts of the body which - ANSWER: air passes as it travels from the
nose and mouth into the lungs.
Four general divisions of the respiratory system - ANSWER: 1. Pharynx
2. Trachea
3. Bronchi
4. Lungs
the diaphragm is the primary. - ANSWER: muscle of inspiration
Each half of the diaphragm is called a _________? - ANSWER: hemidiaphragm
As the dome of the diaphragm moves downward - ANSWER: the volume in the thoracic cavity
increases.
Increase in volume decreases the - ANSWER: intrathoracic pressure, creating a sucking action or
negative pressure effect.
What does the negative pressure effect result in? - ANSWER: results in air being drawn into the lungs
through the nose and mouth, pharynx, trachea, and bronchi. (Inspiration)
What is the pharynx? - ANSWER: the structure or passageway that's important to the respiratory
system because air must pass here before entering the respiratory system.
Where does the respiratory system start? - ANSWER: Larynx/voice box.
What is the pharyn also referred to? - ANSWER: Upper airway or upper respiratory tract
Where is the pharynx located? - ANSWER: posterior area between the nose and mouth above and the
larynx and esophagus below
What does the pharnyx do? - ANSWER: serves as a passageway for food and liquids (as well as air)
which is why it's considered part of the respiratory system.
How many divisions does the pharynx have? Name them - ANSWER: 1. Nasopharynx
2. Oropharynx
3. Laryngopharynx
What makes up the roof of the oral cavity? - ANSWER: The hard palate and soft palate
What makes up the lower posterior parts of the soft palate? - ANSWER: Uvula which makes the
boundary between nasopharynx and oropharynx
Where is the laryngopharynx located comparted to the larynx? - ANSWER: Above and posterior
During the acts of swallowing, what does the epiglottis do, which does what? - ANSWER: Flips down
and covers the laryngeal opening which prevents from and fluid from entering the larynx and bronchi.
What does the esophagus connect? - ANSWER: Connects the pharynx to the stomach
, The esophagus is __ is relation to the larynx and traches? - ANSWER: posterior
What are the four parts of the respiratory system? - ANSWER: 1. Larynx
2. Trachea
3. Right and left bronchi
4. Lungs
larynx, trachea, bronchi form a - ANSWER: continuous, tubular structure through which air can pass
from the nose and mouth into the lungs.
Describe the larynx shape, length, and location in adults. - ANSWER: Shape: cage-like, cartilaginous
structure
Length: 1 1/2 to 2 inches (4-5 cm) in humans
Location: anterior portion of the neck, suspended from a small bone called the hyoid bone.
Where is the hyoid bone located? - ANSWER: Located in the upper neck just below the tongue ( or
floor of mouth)
**not a part of the larynx
What does the larynx serve as? - ANSWER: the organ of voice
Sounds are made as air passes between the vocal cords located within the larynx.
Where does the larynx lie? - ANSWER: C3-C6
What are the cartilages that makes up the larynx? - ANSWER: Thyroid Cartilage
Cricoid Cartilage
Epiglottis
The largest and most mobile cartilage that makes up the framework o f the larynx is the what? What
does it consist of? - ANSWER: Thyroid cartilage, which consists of two fused plate-like structures that
form the anterior projection of the larynx.
The prominent anterior projection of the thyroid cartilage is palpated easily and is known as the -
ANSWER: laryngeal prominence, or Adam's apple.
Where is the laryngeal prominence location when referencing the specific skeletal structures in this
region? (topographic reference) - ANSWER: Approximately at C5
The cricoid cartilage is a ring of cartilage that forms where and is attached to what? - ANSWER: ring or
cartilage that formed the inferior and posterior wall of the larynx. Attached to the first ring of
cartilage in the trachea.
What is the cricoid cartilage? - ANSWER: ring or cartilage that formed the inferior and posterior wall
of the larynx. Attached to the first ring of cartilage in the trachea.
What all makes up the larynx? - ANSWER: Thyroid Cartilage
