do they normally say spinous process is at C5 or C spine
Subject: do they normally say spinous process is at C5 or C spine


Each vertebra has 2 transverse processes and 1 spinous process.
Subject: Each vertebra has 2 transverse processes and 1 spinous process.

So, depending on what the doc says, the spinous process of C5 would be correct. Also, the spinous processes of the cervical spine would be a correct statement. Spinous process of the cervical spine would be incorrect as there are 7 cervical vertebral bodies with 3 processes each.

SMA-7=sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate (or CO2), glucose, BUN, creatinine. Glucose and bicarbonate are your missing values; 30 is a normal value for CO2...so my guess is they're saying "CO2 30" and leaving out the glucose value....

correct = nicked (verb: to cut nick into)

onelook.com is a good dictionary source on-line.
Were is correct.
Subject: Were is correct.

As the word remainder represents a portion, the verb to use is determined by the noun in the "of phrase" that follows. In your case, "forms" is plural so use were.

This rule also applies for other "portion" words such as none, all, some, part, etc. Hope this helps.

PS: See 'The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation' by Jane Straus.
