What is a cross-section diagram?

• A type of model that helps us understand how to build a medical device

• A picture of the outside surface of an object or structure

• A picture of a slice through an object or structure, showing the insides

• A type of math equation that helps us measure the amounts of different body parts

What does a cross-section help us to better understand

• The history of a particular body part

• The internal structure or or organization of the body

• The true to life size of different body parts

• The structure of the whole body together

What is the difference between a MRI cross-section and a Scientific Diagram cross-section?

• The MRI is a photograph of a specific body. Each is unique. A scientific diagram is a generalized drawing of a body.

• The MRI is a generalized drawing of the body, while a scientific diagram is a photograph of a specific body.

• The MRI is used for medical purposes, while a scientific diagram is used for artistic purposes.

• The MRI cross-section is a 3D image, while a scientific diagram cross-section is a 2D image

How did the scientific diagram help us better understand what was in the MRI?

• By providing a detailed explanation of the MRI machine's components and how it makes an image

• By showing how the different parts of the body are feeling to help us spot an injury

• By including a list of potential diagnoses for the patient to help us spot an injury

• By simplifying and showing what professionals know about the body we can better understand the photographs.

Why did it help us to change the scale of our diagrams? (zoom in)

• To see more details and focus on specific areas
• To make the diagrams simpler and less complicated

• To make the diagrams bigger and more complicated

• To make the full body easier to understand

The close up Skin diagram revealed:

Check ALL that apply.

• Skin is made up of layers

• There is fat between the skin and the muscles

• Blood vessels and Nerves are woven into the skin

• All parts of the skin look similar

The close up Muscle diagram revealed:

Check ALL that apply.

• Muscles are connected to bones by the tendon

• Muscles are made of long strings

• Blood vessels and Nerves are woven into the muscle

• The strings of the muscles are gathered in groups

The close up Bone diagram revealed:

Check ALL that apply.

• Cartilage caps the ends of bones at joints

• Bones have a hollow space in the center

• Blood vessels and Nerves are woven into the bone

• Bones are not solid all the way through
