Answer:

This question includes some errors, the question should be written as:

The medulla oblongata controls the contraction and relaxation of the ______ causing the lungs to inflate and deflate during breathing.

Although there are no options, the answer is generally RESPIRATORY MUSCLES i.e. diaphragm and intercostal muscles

Explanation:

Breathing is an involuntary action required to take place in order to get oxygen into the system and carbon dioxide out of the system. However, the process of breathing is neurally controlled by brain portion called RESPIRATORY CONTROL CENTERS.

The Medulla oblongata located in the hindbrain is one of the two respiratory control centers (the other being the PONS). The medulla sends nerve signals to the muscles responsible for bringing about the ventilation process i.e. the DIAPHRAGM and INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES.

This nerve impulse brings about the contraction of the diaphragm, which is the major respiratory muscle, and intercostal muscle causing the lungs to inflate and allow the entry of oxygen-containing air. On the other hand, it also brings about the relaxation of these muscles causing the lungs to deflate allowing the expelling of air.

Geologic plates move away from each other in a process called convergence. O True O False​
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Convergence of plates can occur when

two geological tectonic plates are moving towards each other, where one of this plate go in direction beneath the other plate. As they moved towards each other mountain chain can be formed in a situation whereby the two plates has the same density.

Hence, the best option is FALSE because it is in only "DIVERGENCE PROCESS " that the plates moves away from each other.

Continuous rotation of the CT x-ray tube and detector array, with simultaneous movement of the CT couch, has been accomplished t
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The options

A. Additional cables

B. Slip rings

C. Multiple rows of detectors

D. Electron beam CT.

The CORRECT ANSWER IS B.

B. Slip rings

Explanation:

During the 1990s, the use of slip ring technology promoted consecutive rotation of the x-ray tube (via removal of cables) and concurrent couch locomotion.

The Sixth-generation CT scanning is referred to as helical (or spiral) CT—allowing procurement of volume multislice scanning.

Today's helical multislice scanners, makes use of thousands of detectors (around 60+ rows), can derive continuous data procurement of 128 "slices" per tube rotation and can undergo 3D multiplanar reformation (MPR).

Fifth-generation CT employs electron beam; as the ultra high-speed CT is employed majorly for cardiac imaging.
