2.  Dental X-ray film: a film the patients can bite
down on, holding it in position for the X-Ray imagery
of several upper and lower teeth simultaneously.
 Bite-wing X-rays: show details of the upper and
lower teeth in any area of the mouth. Each bite-wing
shows a tooth from its crown to the level of the support
bone.
 Bite-wing X-rays are used to detect decay between
teeth and changes in bone density caused by gum
disease.
 They are also useful in determining the proper fit of
a crown.

3. Radiology imagery of a patients X-Ray results of an bite wing
mouth using bite wing film. x-ray, displaying the patients
upper right, left, upper, and
lower dental structure from the
top of the crown to the root.

4.  Anastomosis is the connection of two
structures. It refers to connections
between blood vessels.
 An anastomosis may be naturally occurring or
artificially constructed
 It may connect the healthy sections of
the colon or rectum after a cancerous or
otherwise diseased portion has been
surgically removed.

5. An example of an artificial An example of a naturally
anastomose surgery to connect occurring anastomose within
the small intestine to the the heart with the inferior
transverse colon to remove a epigastric artery and superior
tumor. epigastric artery.

6.  Colonoscopy is a surgical procedure that
provides an inside look at your colon and
rectum with a long flexible tubular
instrument called a colonoscope.
 A colonoscopy is recommended when a
person has rectal bleeding or has a change in
bowel habits and other unexplained
abdominal symptoms.
 The test is used especially when polyps or
tumor like growth have been detected.

8.  Cachexia is the loss of weight and
generalized wasting that occurs during a
chronic disease
 Cachexia is one of the most devestasting
symptoms of cancer.
 Cachexia affects patients eneregy, quality of
life, enjoyment, and independence
 Cachexia reduces strength, increase fatigue
and weakness

9. This is an example of
cachexia. Where the
patient experienced
dramatic weight lost
due to a severe case
of cancer.
