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

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

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

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

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)
