Question
**Figure 44-5**: Radiographs of A, a barium swallow, or upper GI; and B, a barium enema, or lower GI. **Note**: Fluoroscope images appear black on white, the reverse of the white-on-black images shown here. ### Radiograph A (Barium Swallow - Upper GI): 1. **Esophagus** - The passage connecting the mouth and stomach. 2. **Stomach** - The organ where digestion begins. 3. **Duodenum** - The first section of the small intestine. 4. **Jejunum** - The second part of the small intestine following the duodenum. ### Radiograph B (Barium Enema - Lower GI): 5. **Ascending Colon** - The first part of the colon located on the right side of the abdomen. 6. **Transverse Colon** - The section of the colon that runs across the abdomen. 7. **Descending Colon** - The part of the colon that travels down the left abdomen. 8. **Sigmoid Colon** - The S-shaped last part of the colon leading to the rectum. 9. **Rectum** - The final section of the large intestine. ### Additional Explanation: The compass symbol between the radiographs indicates standard anatomical directions: - **S** (Superior) - **I** (Inferior) - **R** (Right) - **L** (Left) These images demonstrate the path of barium contrast during medical imaging to visualize and assess the condition of the digestive tract.
