CTfull name: computed tomography | how does it work? different tissues absorb the electromagnetic radiation in various amount | what does it show? shows cross sectional pictures of the body region scanned | when is it used? used to evaluate brain and abdominal problems without the need of exploratory surgery |
MRIfull name: magnetic resonance imaging | how does it work? magnetic energy causes the spin of hydrogen molecules, and their energy is enhanced by radio waves; when the radio waves are turned off, energy is released and translated by a computer into a visual image | what does it show? dense structures do not show and soft tissue, like the the brain, can be evaluated | when is it used? to evaluate soft tissue, brain, intervertebral pads and cartilage to detect degenerative disease |

Immune Systemanatomy: | physiology: | white blood cells | 1) fights off foreign invaders in the body | ~T cells | ~B cells (produce antibodies) | ~macrophages | skin |
Lymphatic Systemanatomy: | physiology: | lymph (liquid part of blood - plasma, when it is in lymph vessels) | 1) stores and carries white blood cells that fight disease | lymph vessels | 2) collects excess fluid and returns it to blood (second circulatory system - reaches places other one can't - between cells) | lymph nodes | contain white blood cells |
Positive Feedbackinitial stimulus produces a response that exaggerates or enhances its effects; less common | ex) labor and delivery |

Xrayfull name: radiograph | how does it work? shadowy negative image of internal structures produced by directing electromagnetic waves of very short wavelength at the body | what does it show? best to visualize hard, body structures and locate abnormally dense structures (tumors, tuberculosis nodules) in the lungs and breasts | when is it used? to diagnose fractures and dense tumors |
