Answer to Question 1

flexion and extension

Rationale: Anterior to posterior mobility will be determined with the patient in a lateral l-spine with maximum extension and flexion.

Answer to Question 2

grid ratio

Rationale: As grid ratio increases, less scatter radiation reaches the image receptor which improves contrast resolution of structures.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
