When reviewing a CXR, what are the major anatomical markings of Lung

The final exam is a two part exam.  Part 1 is that of a take home exam.   (MO 1)

I would recommend that students copy the questions from the exam to work on as you progress through the course.  

Submit a file upload in "Quizzes" at the same time you submit the Part 2 paper.

All questions are short answer.  Each Question is worth 3 points apiece for a total of 30 points.

This is due Thursday Week 7 at 5pm EST
