Chapter 3

A chronic condition with persistent obstruction of the bronchial airflow is termed:

• bronchitis

• bronchotomy

• bronchiectasis

• chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

After entering the hilum, each primary bronchus divides. How many primary branches are in the right lung?

• Two

• Three

• Four

• Five

All are part of the respiratory system, _except_: A) lungs. B) trachea. C) pharynx. D) esophagus.

• lungs

• trachea

• pharynx

• esophagus

All are radiographic projections performed using the decubitus positions, _except_:

• A) AP

• B) lateral

• C) PA

• D) oblique

All of the following are techniques used during radiographic examination of the pharyngolaryngeal structures _except_:

• A) swallowing.

• B) phonation.

• C) sneezing.

• D) breathing.

Each lung is divided into specific segments called:

• lobes.

• fissures.

• pleura.

• bronchopulmonary segments.

Fluid that collects in the pleural cavity is termed:

• pneumonia.

• pneumoconiosis.

• pleural effusion.

• chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
