What are two main classifications of the human skeleton? Axial and Appendicular Skeleton
How Trendelenburg position differ from supine? Trendelenburg is a type of supine position, where the patient lies on their back, but the body is tilted with head lower than feet. Supine - is simply lying flat on the back with head and feet at same level.
What are the three main planes of the Body? Sagittal, Coronal, and Transverse

When should grids be used during X-ray exams? When imaging body parts thicker than 10 cm. Grids help reduce scatter radiation, improving image contrast and clarity.
What are the main components of X-ray system? X-ray tube, Image Receptor, and Generator
