specific projection.
Where should these land marks be? - ANSWER:Should be parts of the body that are

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

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

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? -

cartilaginous structure
Length: 1 1/2 to 2 inches (4-5 cm) in humans

bone.
