Answer to Question 1

eliminates the use of a grid

Rationale: The air-gap technique can be a substitute for use of a grid. The increased OID allows the scatter to deflect in pathways from the image receptor, therefore increasing the contrast.

Answer to Question 2

increased density

Rationale: Milliamperage-seconds, mAs, contributes to the overall blackness of the image. It represents the quantity of radiation produced.

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).
