Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The electromyogram (EMG) is a test of electrical conductivity, similar to the electrocardiogram (ECG) or the electroencephalogra m (EEG). The provider places fine needles into the client's muscles (my/o = muscle), and measures the electrical impulses within the muscles, both at rest and during activity. The provider can then determine whether the client's muscles respond appropriately to stimuli. The myelogram (myel/o = spinal cord; bone marrow) is an x-ray examination of the spinal cord and vertebral canal. Computed tomography (CT) scanning provides a three-dimensional radiographic view of a body part. In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a powerful magnetic field enables a scanning machine to produce detailed images of internal organs.
