The caries process demineralizes tooth structures, allowing ________ x-rays to pass through the tooth and ________ the image
A) more, lighten
B) more, darken
C) less, lighten
D) less, darken
B
Explanation: A) The caries process is one of demineralization of tooth structure (enamel, dentin, and cementum). This demineralization of tooth density allows more x-rays to pass through the tooth and darken the image. Therefore, caries appear radiolucent on the radiograph.
B) The caries process is one of demineralization of tooth structure (enamel, dentin, and cementum). This demineralization of tooth density allows more x-rays to pass through the tooth and darken the image. Therefore, caries appear radiolucent on the radiograph.

Which of the following statements concerning the flow of blood to and through the right side of the heart is correct?
a. Blood reaches the right atrium from the aorta, is pumped through the mitral valve into the right ventricle, and is then pumped through the pulmonary veins to the lungs. b. Poorly oxygenated blood reaches the right ventricle from the venae cavae, is pumped through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery, and then enters the right atrium and is pumped into the lungs. c. Oxygenated blood reaches the right atrium from the pulmonary veins, is pumped through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, and is then pumped into the aorta and throughout the body. d. Poorly oxygenated blood reaches the right atrium from the venae cavae, is pumped through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, and is then pumped through the pulmonic valve and on to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries.
