Answer to Question 1

OML and 15 degrees caudal

Rationale: The PA axial Caldwell requires OML to be aligned perpendicular. With a 15 degree caudal angle, this will push the petrous pyramids into the lower one-third of the orbits.

Answer to Question 2

extension lateral

Rationale: Extension lateral will require the patient to slowly raise the chin, extending the chin until maximum tolerable position is attained. The spinous processes will come closer together. Flexion and extension laterals will evaluate the mobility of the neck.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
