Answer to Question 1

tibial plateau

Rationale: Determining the slope of the tibial plateau and aligning the central ray parallel to the slope is essential in producing the femorotibial joint space open.

Answer to Question 2

bone

Rationale: The greater the density of the tissue, the greater the attenuation of the beam.
