Question

1. what term describes an x - ray film (recording) of a joint?

electroarthro/graph
arthro/gram
axillo/scopy
cubito/graphy

1. which of the following does the anterior pituitary gland secrete?

lh, hgh, tsh and acth
oxytocin, testosterone, interstitial cell stimulating and vasopressin
prolactin, oxytocin, estrogen and progesterone
acth, vasopressin and fsh

Explanation:

• For question 77:
• The root "arthro -" means joint.
• The suffix "-gram" means a record or picture. So "arthro/gram" is an X - ray film (recording) of a joint.
• "electroarthro/graph" would involve electricity and a joint record (but not just an X - ray).
• "axillo/scopy" has the root "axillo -" (related to the armpit) and the suffix "-scopy" (examination, usually visual).
• "cubito/graphy" has the root "cubito -" (related to the elbow) and the suffix "-graphy" (process of recording, but not the standard term for a joint X - ray).
• For question 78:
• The anterior pituitary gland secretes Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Human Growth Hormone (HGH), Thyroid - Stimulating Hormone (TSH), and Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH).
• Oxytocin and Vasopressin are secreted by the posterior pituitary. Testosterone is mainly secreted by the testes in males. Estrogen and Progesterone are mainly secreted by the ovaries in females.

Answer:

1. arthro/gram
2. LH, HGH, TSH and ACTH
