• 1. ray machine consists of 3 main parts: component parts, x-ray tube, and x-ray generating apparatus
• Component parts include control panels for determining duration, voltage, and location, with features like an On-Off switch, Exposure button, Control selectors, timer, kVp dial, mA regulator, and volt meter
• Extension arm supports the tube head, which contains a PID/cone and a number scale for vertical angulation
• 1. ray tube head parts include a metal housing, insulating oil/gas, transformer, tube head seal, aluminum disks, and lead collimator
• 1. ray tube has a leaded glass housing, anode, and cathode with components like tungsten filament, molybdenum cup, copper stem, and tungsten target plate
• 1. ray generating apparatus uses electricity, electric current, transformers, and has units like amperage and voltage to control the flow of electrical energy
• Electric circuit in an x-ray machine includes a filament circuit and anode-cathode circuit, each serving different functions
• Steps in x-ray production involve turning the machine on, heating the filament, forming an electron cloud, activating the high-voltage circuit, propelling electrons to the anode, and producing x-ray photons
• Matter is the substance of physical things, composed of elements or compounds, occurring in solid, liquid, or gas states
• Ionization occurs when an atom loses or gains an electron, resulting in the formation of positive or negative ions
• Roentgenography - the use of x-rays to produce images
• X-ray tube - consists of two electrodes, cathode (negative) and anode (positive)
